GETTING READY FOR ZANSKAR/LADAKH ON SUPERBIKE || RRD VLOGS||

Hello friends, 

We are soon headed for one of the most exciting and looked after motorbiking trip of ours that is to Ladakh and further ahead to Zanskar Valley. For the first time ever , I will be challenging myself for yet another exciting motorbiking ride on my Superbike Kawasaki Z 900 for the first time. 

For the same, I have already prepared my motorbike to a great extent but I also thought of adding a few left over things that are most important before I actually take my motorbike on this highly highly adventurous trip. I wanted to first ad.  some extra lights as we will be steering through a number of water bodies. I have added Sena 50 S which is helpful in connecting with other group riders when on a group ride. Also, I added extra lights (new headlights) - HJG headlights on my motorbike in order to make it more appropriate for this adventurous ride of mine. 

Zanskar valley is a semi-arid region and is situated at a height of 13,154 ft in the norther flank of the Himalayas. The valley is characterized by the presence of lush landscape, snow capped mountains, and multiple water bodies with sparkling water. The distance between Leh and Zanskar is 105 Kms. There are also several water sports that one can experience at Zanskar such as paragliding, water gliding, water rafting, etc. In fact, it is only possible to travel to Zanskar during the months between June to September 2022 as in winter months , the temperature can dip to as low as -30 degrees.

I have travelled to Ladakh earlier as well, check the given below playlists which are focussed on my previous Leh/Ladakh videos on my earlier motorbikes ....
