Manali
July 13, 2023 in India ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Made it to Manali after a 4.5-hour taxi rider to cover 50km. All due to road collapses. India has to have the worst drivers , no courtesy. Everyone competes for the same section of road and goes whereRead more

TravelerGreat scenery, the roads are shocking, they beat you to death. The area we are travelling at the moment is the district of Ladakh. You have to hire alternate bikes from this area and then apply (pay a fee) to travel anywhere outside of Leh( the major city in Ladakh). It's all about money. $25 a day to hire a bike.

114km from Killar to Kishtwar in Cashmir took the better part of 8 hours to complete. The signature Cliff Hanger Road has been closed for a year, and a new road now runs above it. The views andRead more
Bhaderwah
July 31, 2023 in India ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Bhaderwah for brunch. Supposedly Bhaderwah is a hub for terrorist separatists, being that it's in the contested Kashmir region. We found it friendly enough and enjoyed our lunch with some locals.
