Rampur - Chitkul

Day 2 was a pretty lazy start. We got up and got ready at a leisurely pace. Eric had to leave for Delhi and with heavy hearts we bid him good bye.
Line up outside the hotel



We all started for Chitkul. Now we were heading towards the Kinnaur District of Himachal Pradesh, the place famous for its greenary. It had been raining at night and this further helped clean up all signs of brown.. The excess of colour green was really soothing for the eyes.

After some time people decided to explore a trail goign away from the road near a bridge..

We reached Chitkul by evening..












Just before the sunset we went for food to the last dhaba before the Indian border. We could see a small path ahead and decided to check it out.






It eventually ended in big stoned blocking the way and we had to return.
turning the bike was not one mans job..


i too did my share of hard work..




also it was getting dark



As we sat at the dhaba, the sun set..
