Return to Manali














We were sad , our tour was coming to end.We left Ladakh with nothing but footprints and joy on few faces.The good thing about the return was the route was equally scenic one.Deep gorges ,plains and valley and high passes and snow.we started from durbuk at 7 :30 am and crossed changla .soon mighty tanglang la was in our way and we crossed it too.The roads(plains) were very bad and few dust storms and mini tornadoes rose.At around 4 pm we reached pang and decided to move to sarchu for night halt.We reached Srchu at 7 pm.The tents are located 7 kms down the road from sarchu.we quickly rented atent and got settled.Sarchu is about 4200 mts and it was cold during night.During the dinner temperture had come down to as low as 6 degree celcius.we knew it was going to be a cold night.Morning we woke up to find the water in supply pipes was frozen and we had no supply of water.Then we arranged for bucket of water finished our morning chores and continued our jouerney.we travelled through amazing parts in himachal.the journey was so beautiful.soon we crossed rohtang pass -the dirtiest and most crowded pass when compared to its ladakhi counterparts.we soon reached manali and parted ways.
