MotoTraQ

Got up at 7. We were already behind the plan for the day. Wanted to bike till a few kilometers beyond Gramphoo. Not to be now. Finally.. at about 8:45 in the morning we decided to move, leaving the luggage in the hotel only.

The drive from Kullu is very easy paced and leisurely. Here are a few pics

RohTang:Notice the third goat from the left in the pic

Notice the third goat from the left in the pic. Its giving me such a funny and confused look

Manali

Finally reached Manali. The snow covered mountains were just so inviting. We were very excited.

RohTang: Manali

Here i made a tactical mistake. Inflated the tyres to the optimum pressure(28, 34)
Anyway, had a hearty breakfast of paranthas, poori bhaaji and bhaturey among ourselves. A few strolls on the Mall road in Manali and we were ready for the climb. It was already 11 in the morning and it had started drizzling a bit.
As we started up, the weather alternated between sunny and a slight drizzle.
Let the pictures do the talking now. Its almost one at night. Can’t write anymore

The horses/khacchhars grazing around. I personally feel this is a great shot  Critics be damned!!

Mostly, the traffic was descending from the pass. We were one of the few who were going up at that time.

Ok guys.. Now i am really sleepy. Rest of the log tomorrow night
Just a quick cell phone grab of what we went through
