Today we drove to Khardung La , at 18380 feet this is suppose to be worlds highest motorable road. Except altitude there is no challenge here . BRO < The amazing Border Road organization which creates roads from no-where has widen this road at many places and making it 2 lane road soon.
The same organization had made another high altitude road for Army in Pangong region, called Marsemik La , which is at 19,600 feet with some minimal work is going to be challenge.
This is a last post before we enter Changthang platuae , at average 15000 feet , this is vast desert region on Tibet border and has most of the high altitude lakes of Ladakh. Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri, Tso Kar, Kyun Tso etc. This region is still not in any network except BSNL satellite pay phone in some villages. So will not be posting anything for another 6-7 days till back to connectivity.
