Hanuman tibba range in the background.This is the northern end of Kullu valley and a fine landscape.Nearing Gulaba.
Our first night's stop at 3,355m / 11,000ft, about 3/4 the way up the Rohtang Pass after a 38km / 23 mile climb from Manali.
Manali lies at around 1,800m (6,000ft) altitude. The Rohtang Pass at 3,978m (13,000ft) is the first of four major passes on the Manali to Ley Highway. It is closed by snow for around 6 months of the year from October to March, sometimes longer. When we visited in October we could drive up to about 3,300m (11,000ft) before hitting the snowline. This trip wetted my appetite to see more of this region and three years later in 2001 myself and three friends cycled the 300 mile Manali to Ley Highway reaching a maximum altitude of 5,350m (17,550ft) on the Taglang La.
....."Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
