Heading north from Manali the road climbs steadily to the Rohtang La, our first Himalayan pass. No ordinary pass, this is a veritable playground for holidaying Indians with yak, donkey and skidoo rides, ski-suits to be worn and even some skiing. Beyond, we descended into Lahaul, sticking to the main Leh highway until Darcha.

Descending to Lahaul – no cars to share the road with as they were all stuck behind a big boulder that had fallen in the middle of the road, which we could squeeze past. Ha! |
