Kulu

Unbelievable views flying into Kulu from Dehli. Record flooding occurred last week, which caused considerable damage to roads, property, and the countryside side. On a brighter note Shane also got toBaca lagi
Manali
13 Julai 2023, 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 whereBaca lagi

PengembaraGreat 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.

Kishtwar

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 andBaca lagi
Bhaderwah
