Itinerary description

(English follows)
Viatge per Himalaia Indi. Estiu 2018: Kinnaur, Spiti, Zanskar i Ladakh
(Desnivells acumulats mostrats a wikiloc incorrectes. Dades reals: +550m)

Etapa espectacular fins Spangmik al llac Pangong. Molt transitat per turistes indis seguint les pases dels "Tres idiotes" (pel·li de Bolliwood) que hi van amb scooter. Spangmik destrossada pel turisme. De tenir temps recomano tirar més al sud.

L'etapa següent comença a Karu, a l'altra vessant del Chang La. Si volia assistir a la "puja" matutnina al monestir de Thiksey com tenir previst fer, no tenia temps de pedalar el coll. No em quedaven dies. L'asfalt es veia molt trencat , i els darrers quilòmetres la pista estava amb mal estat. Al matí quan vam recórrer el coll, estava molt transitat.

Journey through Indian Himalayas. Summer 2018: Kinnaur, Spiti, Zanskar and Ladakh
(Total ascent and descend shown in wikiloc corrupted. Wrong data. Real data: +550m)

Great scenery on the stage till Pangong Lake. However, plenty of traffic with local tourism following the "Three idiots" (Bollywood movie) who went there by scooter. Spangmik
spoiled by tourism. If you have the chance continue further south.

Next stage starts in Karu at the foot of Chang La on the other side. No time for cycling Chang La if I wanted to have the chance or assisting to a morning "Puja " on Thiksey monastery as I was planning. Till there I went by car. Chang La was with heavy traffic in the morning. Asphalt very patched and not paved the lasts km (sorry, hard to say from which altitude / km being from a car). Last kilometers the route was pretty bad.
