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 left so we were enjoying the views and moving ahead. The picturesque valleys and fairytale hamlets were like a motion picture. Mostly the roads were not rugged or muddy. Bairagarh was a tiny beautiful village where we had stopped and charged our mobiles. we had our lunch there. there were roads that were crisscrossing, Peter was recording the trails in his Garmin watch and tried to recharge on a nearby store. We had parathas and eggs, we also packed some just in case, as we were not sure about the next hamlets or if there were any.
We moved ahead and the terrain started to change. The roads were ancient and looked like cobbled. I stopped cycling and started to walk along with my bike for sometime. After recuperating walk, I started to ride again and soon we were gaining a lot of elevation. We crossed multiple waterfalls and the cobbled road became like a dirt track with puddles. I didn’t want to step down, we somehow managed to climb and my bike got stuck after a point and Peter was trying to push from behind while I was pedaling as we were quite close to our campsite. Both of us became exhausted and we decided to camp wherever possible as it was pitch dark and the wet weather conditions were derailing our speed and energy. We found a flat spot next away from the puddles, it was raining crazily. We used our head torches and pitched our tent and started having cold parathas for dinner. We changed our socks and hoped for next day to be sunny.
