SCARRY On my way from Leh to Nubra valley, I had to cross Khardungla Pass – Highest motorable road in the world at 18000 ft approx. The road was absolutely white with snow; whiteness was almost frightening. We were faced with snow and blizzards. For the first time I experienced Gypsy skidding to make an angle of 90 degrees to the line of driving. That day I understood the meaning of the phrase “ Heart coming to mouth” FUN My trip from Manali to Shimla via Kaza, along Indo-China border was tiring but very enjoyable and fulfilling one. I witnessed awe inspiring vastness of nature, gurgling white rivers threatening to overtake us, Huge water falls almost washing away a tiny looking steel bridge, oxygen sapping Kunjum Pass, Road thru 20 feet high snow craters, a mountain cut into two by pressure of water. A filling experience and a visual treat. Only blemish in our trip from Delhi – Gupt Kashi – Joshi Math – Auli, was that we could not take the route passing thru Chopta reserve Forest, because of land slide between Okhimath and chopta. The route along various tributaries of Ganga, was very pleasing. Delhi – Uttarkasi - Bhatwari and Gangotri was a memorable one and bathing in Gangotri even in May was a shivering experience. FAST TREK Longest single day journey included Travel from Delhi to Ajmer – Sirohi – Gandhidham was extremely tiring. We covered a distance of 1300 Kms in one day. Next day we travelled from Gandhidham to Alang and back. Third day our travel included trip to Maurvi and back. We travelled back to Delhi next day, covering almost 4000 kms in four days. Another day journey included trip from Jaipur to Kota and back to Delhi, covering 900 kms in one day. I have done Delhi – Manali – Solang nala on numerous occasions
