| Day 5 The day for us to take that eventful road finally arrived and we set off at 7:30am hoping to avoid the traffic jams – the road (if we can call it that) was horrible – the heavy rain had converted the mud into a cocktail of water, gravel & slush – we saw several abandoned bikes along the way (and no, no one taking a leak anywhere close by!). There was a constant drizzle but the views more than made up for it. It was great to see people (all foreigners) on mountain bikes – on closer inspection I realized than none of them must have been below 60 – what spirit! Sometimes it almost feels like India ages sooner. Waiting patiently  Early start  Here's where it starts  I completely agree!   The road  On the way  Marhi  |

Just makes me wonder if this has anything to do with the fracture. | ||

| Nice  As they say-I am loving it. Monsoon is the best time to ride in the hills. though too much of rain gets irritating at times |

| The rain kept getting worse and we barely realized that we were at the pass – it was pretty cold & wet by now & the normal “circus” at Rohtang was nowhere to be seen – the tents seemed forlorn without any visitors. I looked up and actually saw some snow right above us – though I wasn’t expecting any at this time of the year. The greenery continued for a bit after the pass & the road got worse before it got better! Passed a stream where my shoes got soaked – Amit had better luck with his army boots. Don’t they make boots for women in the army? Considering that the sizes I saw were all much larger! Check out the road! Good fun      Finally - Rohtang!    A glacier in the distance  |
