You guys got permission? We were very politely shooed away! Did you have to push the bike literally, or get off the bike and clutch it?

and hero, unlike you, I don't think they tried the attempt at 2pm in the afternoon

2 pm? There is no way those guys would allow any one to attempt M La at 2 pm, you have to be at the check post by ~8am.

8am!!! That would mean a stay at Pangong tso... Noted!

Changla was pretty ok at 5 in the evening. So Marsimek should be somewhat the same right?

The main issue with Marsimik La is the high velocity winds and chances of snow fall. The ITBP check post wouldn’t normally allow motorcycles to attempt the pass after morning, even then it depends on their mood and the mood of weather.

If I remember well, it M La is about 1k fts higher than C La...
