Day Eight saw the 101 Regulars departing Leh for Sarchu, a 260 km journey. After fuelling up in Karu, the last petrol station before Tandi, they travelled through notable stops like Upshi, where they thanked the Border Roads Organisation for their tireless efforts. They climbed Tanglang La, one of the highest motorable passes, and paused at Debring for a meal. The route offered breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas, More Plains' flatlands, and the challenging passes of Lachulung La and Nakee La. They navigated the thrilling Gata Loops before finally arriving at Sarchu, the night's halt, where they enjoyed a warm dinner, marking another day in their tribute to Kargil heroes #25YearsOfKargil #KargilChronicles #KargilRideDay5 #MotorcycleExpedition #KargilWarHeroes #KargilDiwas #IndianMilitaryAcademy #101RegularCourse #VikramBatra #KargilAnniversary #MilitaryTribute #Sacrifice #NationalSovereignty #ArmedForces #IndianArmy #JaiHind #LestWeForget

Kargil Chronicles: 25 Years Of Glory | Day 9 | Sarchu to Manali | Baralacha La | Oneindia English

The 101 Regulars woke to a frosty morning, with a crystalline layer of ice on their bikes, symbolizing their resilience. After refueling in Leh, they set off to Manali, crossing Sarchu, the gateway between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. Their ascent to Baralacha La (16,040 ft) offered stunning views and marked the confluence of the Bhaga, Yunam, and Tsarap Chu rivers. Navigating challenging terrains, they reached Suraj Tal, a serene high-altitude lake. After a pitstop at Zingzing Bar, they continued past Darcha, crossing Himachal’s longest bridge, and followed the Bhaga River to Jispa. Skipping Rohtang Pass, they opted for the Rohtang Tunnel, a marvel of modern engineering, ensuring year-round connectivity. One lone rider paid homage at war memorials near Turtuk and Siachen Base Camp. In Manali, the Regulars reminisced about their IMA days, cherishing the bonds forged during their service. This journey from high-altitude passes to serene valleys strengthened their camaraderie and spirit. #25YearsofKargil #KargilWar #CaptainVikramBatra #KargilChronicles #IndianArmy #HeroicStories #MajorHarminderMultani #KargilHeroes #NationalInspiration #BraveryAndSacrifice #IndianHeroes ~PR.274~
