Hi AC,

I am new member at T-bhp and this is my first post.

I have been religiously following your thread. Pics are great and makes me yearn for such a trip.

I have bought a Scorpio VLX (Java Brown) recently and will love to drive down these stretches in it (am not sure when though).

Keep the pics coming.

Cheers

Excellent Travelogue and wonderful experience you are having. Trip to these places itself is a dream. Thank you for sharing your experiences and good photographs too. The best part is to come back in one piece(both the vehicle and the persons) while doing these kind of roads. As rightly said by you, words really cannot explain all the experiences and we just have to go through it.

Keep sharing .....

hey sid,

you are in faridabad, you are pretty close to the place i had been to, considering i drove from Mumbai all the way. So you can do this trip. Anyways you have the perfect vehicle to do this trip too.

I suggest you do this route during the month of September as it is the best month acc. to me to visit these place.

Anyways safe driving bro.

@ indian ranger, thanks for the kind words, and yes it was quite a relief to reach back home in 1 peice, also considering it was just 2 of us driving from mumbai to himachal and back...it was something

@ sonirohit: thank you for the encouraging words, its about time you got your own travelogue now let me know if you want to plan something in himachal i might be able to help you in planning your route.

cheers,

Hi ac,

Congrats for having done such a wonderful and adventures trip. Excellent narration skills and awesome pics too. I just glued to your thread and finished reading/ seeing it all. Any1 would feel elated to have seen those places. Just wish, one day my Tigress (Safari) would also be there. Though not sure when the day 'll arrive !

Thanks for taking time to share.
Good luck for future trips.
cheers

@ zen, if you have been there share your experiences, going by your profile pic, looks like you are a biker, I met a couple there (60 year old man and the woman was around 55) they have traversed the himachal ghats for a 1000 KM on bikes (not motorbikes), we met them at nako and they were planning to do a lot more on those bikes...talk about the spriit of adventure.

@ long drive lover: go ahead and make this trip happen, its going to be the best gift you give yourself.

cheers,

hey suman thanks for the kind words, in two weeks you will also be able to cover chitkul which we missed, coz we had to count 2 day to and fro from mumbai, so in all we had only 10 days to see the place.

and now i am kinda regretting missing chitkul, as i have heard its a v serene place.

cheers,

We've covered upto Kalpa (including Sangla valley) on one of our earlier trips (that was in an Ikon 1.6!). Need to complete the loop from Kalpa back to Manali.
