Satisfying Impulses #1 - 5oo km cycling from Manali to Leh - Part 8

Rumtse to Upshi

We decided to take it easy further, though not much of distance was left for Leh. We decided to stay at Upshi about 20 km from Rumtsee, but not before we enjoyed a great photo shoot on the way.

The famous prayer wheel

These houses exude such warmth!!!

Greenery is sparse here!!That explains the lack of oxygen probably
