Aug 12, 2018 From udaipur, we decided to climb the Kugti and waited for the bus. We bought the tickets to jobrang bridge and the bus was around 4. It was Sunday and was an empty bus. 30 mins from Udaipur we got down and had to descend further to jobrang bridge by walking. There […]
Aug 9,2018 Our plan today was to traverse to Miyar valley from Saichu valley. The shepherds there said it is not possible as there is quite an amount of glacier and only a specific route is used which only the shepherds know. So, there is high possibility of not crossing the pass/ failing. We took […]
Aug 8, 2018 We returned from sural valley by catching a bus at Dharwas early morning and reached Killar. We met the group at the Dhaba who had returned back from Hudan bhatori. Our next plan was to take the 11:30 am bus to Saichu valley, another inner valley of Pangi, remote yet beautiful. Sechu […]
Aug 7, 2018We took the bus to hundan batouri. We had some chai to get the kick and started hiking from there to the top of pass. It was an easy climb from 2500 to 4600. But heavy rains and cold winds was a game changer. Once you zoom the OSM, you would see the […]

Most of the people prefer backpacking where the speed and distance traveled per day are sacrificed and the amount of supplies are increased. A backpacker carries more food, clothes, stove, a multi- layer tent and extra gears and try to settle down near a basecamp […]
The next day I started early and cycled peacefully. I was going solo, enjoying the breathtaking views and moving forward. The pangi valley was heaven for cyclists, the roads were muddy but not cobbled or landslide prone. Only one place next to Tindi was prone to landslide which was crossable as well. I crossed Mindhal […]
The next day , we woke up quite early as it was pass crossing day. It was not raining although we were under cloud cover that could burst into rain anytime. The cobbled roads started again and it was tiring after one point of time to climb and pedal slowly. Traffic due to sheep gave […]
The next day morning we got up and it was foggy. We were progressing at a faster rate as we had to prepare for crossing Sach pass the next day. So our aim was to pack some food later in the evening for 2 days and cross the pass. We had 42k for the day […]
