On 22nd Sept.'17 we reached Manali by our hired tempo-traveler from Delhi.
Next day, 23rd Sept we started our journey for Kaza. and via Rohtang pass we reached Khoksar but unfortunately, we trapped in landslide n spent the whole night in the valley, inside our traveler.
On 24th Sept we tried again to cross the landslide and we fastened again and spent the night beside the giant falls with less food and terribly chilled night. on that night our driver suggested us to skip Kaza and try the Keylong side, we agreed with him.
On 25th Sept morning we 07 exhausted souls started our journey for Keylong. A policeman arranged parathas n milk tea for all the people who trapped there for nights. We heard the name 'Keylong' just as a place but hadn't much knowledge. Leh-Manali Highway was like heaven, we forget all our traumas. After few hours drive we reached Keylong, check-in at a hotel near bus stand, had rice n lamb curry n took a long rest.
On 26th Sept we started our journey to Jispa valley via Darcha. The snow peaks were our all-time companion. There were few hotels n homestays along with eco camp. If you look downwards it seems like the valley wrapped with thin rivers like snakes.
After spending few hours in Jispa valley we go straight to above 16000ft above Baralacha Pass. The chilled breeze slit us and valley look like a giant bar of vanilla ice cream. We met few bikers there. The way to the pass was like heaven. I never saw such scenic beauty before.
27th sept., we spent a relaxing day in Jispa valley. After breakfast, we go straight to river bank n empty numerous beer bottles. late lunch, evening walk n monastery visit n we are now on the end of our trip.
28th Sep morning, we started our journey for Manali. we spent several hours in Rohtang pass and reached Manali at evening.
The trip ends on next day evening in Kalka mail, Shimla.
