Leh Adventure : 14/15

Last bike ride of the trip : Keylong to Manali

We planned to leave early as we had to reach Manali before 4pm. We had to do bill settlement of bikes and Bolero with Varun and leave to Chandigarh at 6:30pm.

After getting Ajay discharged from the Keylong hospital we left for Manali. We had breakfast in Keylong.

The obstacle for today's ride was Rohtang pass. We left at 9:30am, Rohtang pass was challenging but since we had already had experience of riding in tuff situation made us to handle this easily. We did not wait here for photography or to spend time. There were lot of activities going in Rohtang pass, where people enjoyed the snow. Activities such as Yak/Horse ride, slide of snow from top of the hill, Paragliding and much more. Nirmal and I while going had a glance over this and wondered if we had time to do this, but unfortunately no.

We were looking into paragliding ride and were about to fall steep as it was very curve road. The road was full of curve with no side boundaries after which I always fixed my eyes on the road.

We managed to bypass traffic and reach Manali early at 2pm, whereas others stopped in the midway for Lunch.

After reaching Manali we went to good restaurant to have good food, we had Butter Chicken and Roti. The taste was amazing after alo paratha and maggi food for couple of days.

Others reached Manali around 3:30pm.

We had the final bill settlement with Varun and walked towards private bus stop as there was much traffic. Going in Vehicle would have taken more time also the distance was less.

We managed to reach the Manali Private Bus Stop at 5:45pm. We got front seat for Ajay to get him comfortable.

The amazing road trip was ended :(. We reached Chandigarh airport at 7pm.

Ajay had flight in the evening but we re-booked 8am flight from Chandigarh to Bangalore, Ram Charan assisted him for the journey. We booked early so that they can have medical check up in the evening in Bangalore.

I had my flight at 1pm, whereas others had at 4:30pm, we all reached safely.

After the report from the doctor, it was understood that it was nerve issue and not the spinal code issue. We were happy for him as that would get heal and he will be back as normal in couple of weeks. I visited Ajay and was glad to see him happy and getting well soon. Hope for his speedy recovery.

We(3rd Team) met in Biryani Zone,Marathalli on Sunday to celebrate the success of the trip. It was indeed a great experience.
