Khardung La

Khardung La lays claim to being home to the “Highest Road in the World” and is the gateway to the Nubra valley. This was an exceptional riding day, one I won’t soon forget. Khardung La, Jammu and Kashmir, India

The Estrada Real

Following the Estrada Real (Royal Road), a road that connects the resource rich colonial cities of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The skies opened up soon after I took this pic and I was wrestling the SE through the orangish clay mud which made for a long riding day.

Taking in the view of the historic centro (and studying!) from atop the Hostal Villa Colonial in my favorite city in Mexico. Zacatecas, Mexico

Banos

Volcan Tungurahua near Banos, Ecuador

The world’s largest salar

Almost a year later and I’m back on the Salar de Uyuni and it’s not under water! Yes!! Salar de Uyuni, Potosi, Bolivia

The lost city

It takes some effort to get here today so it’s not surprising the Spanish never found this Incan city. I try to imagine what the journey must have been like for the handful of people who stumbled across this magnificent place. Machu Picchu, Peru

Hemis Monastery

Essentially carved into the side of the mountain, the Hemis monastery has stood for almost 1,000 years. Hemis Monastery, Ladakh, India

Weeeee!!!!
