Ladakh Episode 3: Night Ride to Manali

A two-day stop at Chandigarh allowed me enough time to recuperate from the heatwave and get Dusty back to perfect running condition. The ride to Manali ended up being a night ride; it was perfect for me who was joining the group from Chandigarh, but it was hellish for all the people who had been riding from Delhi since morning. We ended up reaching Manali close to 3am on the morning of 16 June 2024.

Luckily, we had a day's halt at Manali so we had time to acclimatize and explore a bit before packing our bags and departing.

Episode 4 will take us towards Darcha and then onward towards Leh.
