Day 4 – June 06, 2009 | Morning at Battal

WE ARE STiLL ALIVE Well it was morning around 7.30AM and everyone is alive, so a NEW BIRTH apart from the fact the cousin who saved our a*****, had caught fever. We had tea at battal dhabha with Tiger Biscuits in the quilt itself and no one was ready to leave that place due to cold we were feeling. It’s so strange having close to 46 degrees here in capital; who would have dreamt that situation would be so odd that temperature would be in negatives… This was the day which was spent mostly in the car itself, traveling and we did click a lot of photos on the very day, because we dint knew it would be the last. Most of us were in state of shock and were feeling as if we had a nightmare. There was nothing to explain in the day apart from the photos which were clicked mostly sitting inside the car, so apologies for some blocks here and there in the pics… so guys enjoy this bouquet of nature, one day being so cruel, next day looked so amazing and beautiful again….

Day 4 – June 06, 2009 | Battal to Manali

It was around 9 AM, we got our selves packed only to see low pressure in one the tyres which we had to change. Witnessing an uncertainty whether can show in such places we wanted to leave in shiny sun as soon as possible and not to forget the evergreen JAM of Rohtang and our cousin who had caught fever. He was wrapped in blanket for most of the time. I went to dhabha, thanked both father and son with warm heart for their help and support. Meanwhile driver had changed the tyre and we were ready to trackback the path leading us to sweet home. But, as I said don’t trust the weather @ such places. It started to get dark once again and snowfall started. This time around we could enjoy a bit and appreciate the beautiful nature. We got ourselves packed into the car and ready to move ahead.
