Thanks swsumit for this brilliant travelogue.
Your travelogue gives a very lovely presentation of the Himalayan region in winters. The weather seems very pleasing throughout your journey, which made all the pictures very beautiful and refreshing.

Awesome blog Sumit! Brought back a flood of memories from 2014 when we did a similar trip. That valley is truly desolate and gives you the feeling of being the only one on another planet in winter.

I still remember the panic that set in on the last morning in Kibber when our fortuner refused to start after sitting in the snow for 3 days.
It was a full 5 hours of complete entertainment for the villagers as they watched us ignorant morons from Bombay failing big in an attempt to start the Fortuner after burning a nice round hole thru the plastic skid plate (yes using a kerosene stove) and very nearly puncturing the fuel tank.

You have really motivated me to make this trip again. So thankyou!

Hi swsumit,

I see from your pictures that you had a Scorpio M2DICR for your trip. How did the vehcile perform especially on the inclines considering it is a 75 Hp engine.

Lovely travelogue and great photos! Curious. Why were you carrying a Wimberley for a Spiti trip? :-)
