Day 22 Sat 03/8 - Bus Journey Continues for another 8 hr fr Keylong to Manali


Today spend : Rs 265   Total spend : Rs 20434

After breakfast the bus took off at 7.20 am to continue the journey to Manali where there will be a steep climb to the top of Rothang La at almost 4000m. Today the weather was good and it was so different when we first cranked up here  earlier, there was nothing and it was so damn cold,I didn't even stop and just snapped a picture while on the bike.And today it was like a market here where hot drinks stall on the jeep and horse riding to cash on the tourists. The bus took another long stop in Marhi where paragliders took to the sky on a perfect clear sky.The only Dhaba (restaurant) left in Marhi is the Gov. run restaurant where i had a chapati and a chai for Rs 35, the rest of the shops were torn down for whatever reason i don't know.The bus arrived at Manali at 3.30pm where we will have to wait until 5.30pm to connect another HPTDC bus to New Delhi.We took turn to take our dinner near the bus stand while Chee also took the opportunity to check out the train schedule to Kolkata.
