Under Chopta

The ride down from Chopta goes through a thick forest. Seen some deer again, some sort of wild hen, two leeches in my boot and lots if birds.

Around the bend

This is what lay around the bend from Chopta

Drying off

Sun is out drying out the bags and gear. Ready to leave soon.

Dinner

My dinner being cooked on an open fire by the owner of the establishment I am staying at.

Ghansyali

Riding down from Ghansyali it started pouring. I could see stones and rocks falling from the top of the mountain as I was riding past. There was no way I was stopping to be stuck behind a landslide. Water was flowing over the road on almost every turn but there was this one raging muddy crossing that was so hairy that I could see it eating away the mud around the road. I found a line and stuck with it and ploughed through and kept riding.

Yesterday's route

It was pissing down most of the day yesterday and the clouds were covering the view. I got up in the morning the sky has cleared and this is what I saw. Damn!!!
