August 23, 2019, Riding day 2:  Lamayuru to Uletopko  880M climbing, 1320M down, 46km, 3111M elev at end

A short easy day, riding along the Indus river.  The first 20km we rode down a spectacular gorge, the rock formations and colouring were amazing.

Some pics:

Yes, a highway maintenance crew of women

Most of the road repairs are done by hand

Lots of military in the area (this is antique)

One of the very nice descents

The accommodations along the ride have all been really good, sometimes reasonable hotels, in Uletopko we were in individual quite luxurious small cabins sited on a high bank over the Indus River.
