Well..who didn't dreamt of visiting Ladakh after watching the beautiful lake of Pangong in movie 3 Idiots...I was one of such dreamer and after watching Jab Tak hai Jaan ,the dream became a thing to do from bucket list. And this dream came true in July 2019. Riding Royal Enfield on the terrains of Leh-Ladakh , the highest motarable road and pass of Changla and Khardunga pass. A hearty thank to the WanderOn group for making this trip so easy for all 8 of us (we were 8 guys in number) . I was highly doubtful at starting that I would be able to ride on such difficult roads and terrains but all thanks to the amazing captains Shashank and Ayush Bhai for being with us and guiding us all the time that I was able to do such a long bike trip without difficulty. Noor Bhai aur Sandeep Bhai...aapke baare me Kya bolun...Jaan la di aapne trip me. Noor Bhai keep being jovial and Sandy Bhai thanks a lot for the bonfire evening. Keep singing and keep spreading love Bhai. Guys, highly recommended group. The arrangements and facilities in such places by WanderOn group was beyond expectations. They have a team of lovely members and you won't feel as they are organizers. They are more like friends. Planning for Arunachal trip with WonderOn very soon. KEEP ROCKING WonderOn. You fulfill wishes of other people..😁😁😁
