Day 9: 17 August 2013: Part 3: Deskit to Karu via Wari La

Day 8 : 16 August 2013 : Part 3 – Hunder to Turtuk

So after having a short break at the Hunder view point, we drive ahead towards Turtuk. It’s already past 1510 and we need to reach quickly since it is still 77 kms ahead and we don’t want to miss the daylight.

Too many stay options at Hunder
