Leh Ladakh Bike Trip 2013 | More Plains | Royal Enfield 500 STD | Part 3

More plains (or Moray plains) is a plateau on the Leh-Manali Highway. It occupies 40 km of the highway between Leh and Sarchu. The plateau has an average elevation of 4,800 metres. The road is flanked by beautiful mountains on both sides. At some places, it runs along the Sumkhel Lungpa River, featuring stunning sand and rock natural formations.
The plain area starts after covering around 4 km uphill road from Pang towards Tanglang La pass. The road is mostly on the plain for around 30-35 km, before it again starts to rise to Tanglang La. This area is a major attraction to bikers heading towards Leh from Manali. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of Indian Army is converting the road to two lanes, one in each direction.
The area is without any population or development.
