Travel With Ketan

It's the last day of the ride as the Amigos ride from Kasol to Chandigarh - they negotiate the curvy and dangerous roads down from the hills, past the Pandoh dam, the Aut tunnel and brave road-raging drivers and traffic jams in Simla and finally land in Chandigarh and meet Paaji again!

The Amigos decide to set out from Manali and explore the nearby Parvati valley and shack up at the backpacking spot of Kasol, Himachal Pradesh. Get to know the amazing story of Manikaran hot springs -  and check out the Sikh gurdwara as well. Get to know the amazing history of Malana village - supposedly the home of the ancient Aryans!

After crossing the fearsome Kunzum pass and Rohtang pass in one day, the Amigos decide on a day of R&R in Manali. A sudden whim to do a good deed gets them instant good karma. Check out the amazing story of the origin of Manali and the story of Hidimba temple!

We descend down from Losar in the Spiti region to Keylong - coming down the fearsome Kunzum pass, alongside the Chandra river. This day is a real adventure! There are no roads! Only rocks and mud!  Then we have to cross another high pass - Rohtang pass - a pass once so dangerous that the very name means 'pile of dead bodies'!  And Delzad gets a puncture!  Check out this most awesome adventure of the Amigos

The Amigos continue their merry way across Spiti valley. They explore the ancient Tabo monastery - the oldest continually inhabited Buddhist monastery in India, the ancient Dhankar gompa perched above the confluence of the Spiti and Pin rivers, the Pin valley and Kaza. Enjoy this fun-filled and hilarious ride of the AMIGOS.

THREE MEN ON MOTORCYCLES on the SPITI VALLEY RIDE -  cross the confluence of the Sutlej and the Spiti rivers and enter the Spiti valley plateau. We visit the amazing Himalayan oasis of Nako lake and see a magical meteor shower!

We  ride on the HINDUSTAN TIBET road and reach the confluence of the Spiti and Sutlej rivers at Khab!  We get motivated by SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED, get invited for lunch by the  Indian Army and ride to the last point of the HINDUSTAN TIBET road. 

This is one of the most amazing places in India - a place of immense power!

The Amigos ride to the last village of India! Chitkul! The whole of Sangla valley is just magical! 

They return to the Hindustan Tibet road - developed due to the British Raj's fear of the Russian empire! It is a vestige of the first cold war - the 'Great game'. Hear about the awesome history of the road - and end up at Kalpa - the last town in the Sutlej valley

The Amigos explore the wonders of the Hindustan - Tibet road! They ride from Simla to Sangla and explore the many wonders of Himachal pradesh and NH22 - including some scary landslides and crazy roads! 

The riders set out from Chandigarh and battle a most horrendous traffic jam caused by a rascally toll booth! They explore the wonders of Chail - but find themselves homeless in Simla! 

It's cold and wet and raining and the whole of North India seems to have come to Simla and there are no room! 

Oh No! Where will they stay? What will they do? Will they live to see the morrow?
