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 […]
Aug 5, 2018 From Tindi, a village at 2600m altitude, we started in the morning towards the Darati pass (4640 m) to cross over from Lahaul to the Datuin village in Chamba valley. The OSM map provided shows Tandi-Killar road where the village tindi is opposite to the bridge.It was a wonderful climb to Chunagarh […]
Aug 4, 2018 We packed the tent, completed a regular shopping routine in the village to stock up supplies. We had tasty Paratha and tea at a nice place and headed to the Keylong bus stand. I am sharing the bus time table at the end of this post, that would be useful for many […]
Aug 3, 2018 The next day morning, the shepherds left to the other side of the mountain and we went down to cross the stream. The stream was easy to cross in the morning, without forming any chain. We had a long walk ahead of us in the direction of the Table-Sarchu trail. We started […]

One can also reach this place by climbing the Shingo La pass from Darcha (Manali-Leh Highway) side and come from Purne side. We ran from […]
The day was just about Chandertaal and staying next to it. I decided to stay near Chandertaal for 1 more day as I know from this point I can proceed or return due to time constraints. My friend had earlier said there was a bus from Kaza that drops to you in Manali and from […]
I woke up quite early, packed some food and left the dhaba from Chattru. It was cold in the morning, but i know soon its gonna be hot and I am going to burn myself under the scorching sun. Spiti valley was quite dry in terms of terrain, the rocks, dust, colors. It has an […]
The next day morning, I was highly motivated and started early from Tandi where the confluence of chandra and bhaga happens. My first target was Sissu and then Khoksar. I was enjoying my ride as deep inside me I know i am going to enter a new valley and explore it as much as I […]
The next day morning, after losing the hope to meet Peter again, I decided to proceed towards Leh as per the backup plan. It was a classic cycling route for cyclists who want to venture out Himalayan cycling for the first time. Mostly they start from Manali and take the Manali-Leh highway cycling on regular […]
