I'm waiting for the SE Monsoon to break (usually ends the Rainy Season in October), so travelling won't be a wet encounter (sweat and rain)...
According to what I've read, the Monsoon Winds switche to NE...the rain stops for several months...and it becomes cooler and a little less humid...

So, right now, when I see that there's going to be a predictable (fairly long) break in the rain, I look at the map and set a route that will take me to some of the Off The Beaten Path / Non-Touristy Temples and Monasteries...

I laughed this morning when Google Maps told me it was going to be 4-5 hours for 60km to 4 Wats up in the Highlands...

It took me 2+ hours to get to 2 of them...about 48km on my GPS...probably would have been way more than 60 as I was lost for part of the ride...
(Can't blame Google...these were Remote...dirt road access only...Farmers may cut the brush away on some of these "roads"...or maybe not...)

I was a joyous Mudfest...and I dropped the bike twice...and looked like I had been mud wrestling...and I was beat...the one good thing...my left leg never complained...

Here are a few photos:

Me, with Ronnie (not today) in Khon Kaen.

The still relatively clean bike at Wat #1...Wat Pa Phu Keng (I believe).

Back at home with a mud-caked bike and a mud-caked me.
And some more of the Wild Asian Power Lines...



And, I really do have Relatives over here...this is my Grandson-In-Law and a slice of my S-I-L...

AI Auto Edits...cool...apparently, between the camera and the app on my phone, it creates a short video for me...

Jungle Ride


Now that I know I can do this, I'll get back to the Ladakh 360 video files...didn't even pull the camera out of the case...didn't do the drone in Nepal either...
