Karmacola had the thought and conviction, and encouraged Vaiguru to try his hand at biking in Leh. So we got one, geared up and it was the best thing we did on this trip. The freedom to stop anytime, not having to tell the driver to stop or slow down whenever we felt like or when something looked breathtaking, which was very often, very. Unhindered is the word that made us hum along with Janis "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...". Our three days of biking around took us through some untouched beautiful places and experience the sights and smells of Ladakh that would not have happened had we not chosen to explore the road less traveled by riding with the Clouds!
