We spend the day by doing a little bit of local site seeing. Nothing special. Few temples here and there, hot spring,club house river crossing parks for children. Hadimba temple needs special mention. It is 500 years old. Hadimba wife of Bhima is worshipped here. Her son Ghototkoch is also worshipped in a near by open trr temple temple.
we finished the day by doing a little bit of marketing in the evening.
tomorrow we are going to leave for simla early in the morning.
Rik became sick due to lack of oxygen in Rohtang pass. He is being nursed by his mother.
At 7-30 AM we took break fast and set off for Rohtang Pass. We had to take warm clothes on rent. It involved bargaining and finally we hired warm clothes for three of us at Rs 550. The roads to rohtang Pass were narrow and at places are very bad. We had our hearts in our mouth for most of the roads. Things became more frightening when our Tata INDICA car got stuck in the road where there was water and ice. It needed pushing to get the car going. Horrible experience. But after that it was a beautiful experience. It was like Switzerland. The rohtang pass valley was totally covered with snow. my son and I tried our skills in skiing. It was difficult and we could not manage. We snapped few photos with the skiing instruments. We threw snow balls at each other. Rik was overzealous and became sick because of lack of oxygen. I was late to recognise it. Eventually Rik was taken to car and little nursing and a hot cup of tea made him comfortable
Finally on our way back we took lunch at Marhi. Journey back through narrow hillside roads were equally uncomfortable. We visited Beas kund- the source of river Beas, Nehru kund, Beas Nalla, Rahla water fall,and Solang valley.
I must say Rohtang Pass is a lifetime experience.
Though not recognisable the two persons in picture are Rik and Rinku
About 10 hours journey from chandigar manali is very tiresome. I had a novel experience of travelling through a tunnel in the hill. The hotel QUality inn river country resort is quite good one but not the best.
The Bias river is flowing in front surrounded by hills all around.
with just two days left to start for manali I am quickly going through the web pages to gather as many information as possible about those places
few homeopath interns are deputed in our hospital. I have to teach them . novel experience.
