Day 21 Fri 02/8 - Rough 14 hr Bus Journey fr Leh to Keylon


Today spend : Rs 200    Total spend : Rs 20169

The place where the HPTDC bus is supposed to wait is about 200m from our guesthouse.It took us two trips to carry our luggage  to the waiting bus,as i need to use Chee's bike as a carrier to my 2 large bags. The bus already waiting when we 1st arrived at 4.30am,it makes the loading of our luggage much easier where most of the passengers still yet to arrive. Chee's bike as usual had to be at the roof top while my bike having dismantled and packed into bike bag was put together with other bags at the back of luggage compartment. Once the bus was full with 99.9% foreigners, the bus took off sharp at 5am. As the bus journey is the same as we came,the excitement somewhat is not there for two of us, but others were busy clicking their cameras on the gorgeous mountain scenery, the bus makes many stops at the mountain peaks and towns to entertain the tourists.The bus destination is Manali, but was make to stop over night in Keylong with stay in parachute tents,dinner and breakfast provided. For those who can't stand to stay in the tents, opted to pay the pricey rooms of the Himachal Hotel. After the simple dinner of typical veg rice with dahl ( again no meat),with a sticky body ( no bath),surprising I slept so soundly,probably due to the long tiring bus journey.Mind you,the journey isn't finish yet. Tomorrow the bus ride will resume at 7am.
