Wow what an adventure and what a spirit by you guys!
And I love the starting lines in your first post of thread. Life is indeed a journey to keep discovering and developing inner self.
Hats off to you guys for taking the road less travelled (symbolically)

Kindly share the bikes specs and how much fuel was consumed. And sure keep the beautiful photos coming

On day 3 of our journey we crossed Attabad lake late at night so we missed to see it. While returning from Khunjrab we planned to reach Attabad while there was still light. On Day 4, around 4:30pm, we reached Attabad lake. Such amazing views here combined with pleasant breeze works to refresh your soul:
