Last issue we left Ian Bowden and his group in Leh after a big day riding over Himalayan passes in conditions that varied from zero degrees and snowing to 30 degrees in the blazing sun. The adventure continues…

Below the Thikse monastery in Leh. It clings to the side of a hill.

On the tenth of 21 fantastic days touring Northern India and mystic Kashmir, we were in Leh for what the guide described as ‘a Leh-day’ (pun intended). We enjoyed a bit of a lie-in and relaxed for the morning.

That relaxation wasn’t to last.
