Simla BhawaNagar Day 3

Monday 16th June' 2008

Bad start for the day, late departure.

Delayed start from Shimla at 9:30 am. Slowly we reached Narkanda, after a lot of breaks. But the day today was a lot better, while yesterday were huge
rains and complete washout.
After Narkanda, we ripped through till Rampur-Busheher, and its a fantastic road. Sutlej river accompanies us all along this route and we get magnificent views all around. The "Neeras"
village is almost on the edge of the Sutlej river, beautiful.
Moving ahead in the evening, we thought of staying at Bhawanagar for the night. Somewhere I had read, that there are good places for night stay there. When we reached there, darkness had
started enveloping the small town. After couple of queries we came to know that the nearest place to stay would be Recong Peo, ah please no, its at least 45 kms from here, and we do not plan to ride these roads in the night.

By chance we met a govt employee, and he helped us stay in the Electricity board guest house; and what a location it was. Splendid. The food was great, the location, ambience was out of the world I know till date.

God's gift - we are in Kinnaur.

Plan for tomorrow : Wangtu-Tapri-Karcham-Powari-Ribba-Akpa-Morang-Jangi-Spello-Puh-Khab-Kah-Yangthang-Chango-Shailkaro-Sumdo-Hoorling-Lari-Tabo-Lusith-Kaza.

The change in height is going to be more than 2000 m. So, here we are sleeping with fan on and quilt wearing half T-shirt. But I think, we have to be prepared properly for the next 250 kms. Plan to hit Kaza tomorrow. Start early tomorrow.

HPSEB GH : Rs 300/=
Trip meter : 180 kms for the day.
Food : Rs 100/=
Fuel : Rs 400/=

Route today was : Chota Simla - Narkanda - Rampur-Bushehr - Neeras village - Jeori - Bhawa Nagar.
