Day 02. Amy at the first camp.

After yesterday's 18 hour drive from Delhi to Manali (no kidding) it was nice to have a drive which started and ended during daylight. We stopped for lunch at a Tibetan style roadside eatery and tried to do a bit of altitude aclimatisation as we went over passes. The first camp was in a valley with an absolutely roaring river. You can see it on the right of the photo, while a tributary joins from the left (passing out of sight behind Amy). Driving is crazy around here. It's all single track roads (unpaved and pot-holed) without passing places, but people still overtake lorries on blind bends while blaring their horns as a means to avoid tragedy!
