Was very much unwilling.... had to leave chitkul...


We left around 4 from Chitkul, the ride down was good, almost was looking down the valley many a times. By the we reached the Construction zone, it was completely Dark. Still almost 9 hrs of ride remaining to reach Narkanda. We rode our bikes steady. This time sonce we where on the left ie on the mountain side of the road, we roade a little faster.

On the other side of the mountain, we could see Forest fire happening. I was very huge and wide spread. Not sure if it was planned or accidental. Few pics


We crossed rampur by 10 pm. All the time(for the past 3 days), my chain guard was hitting the Chain on almost every path hole. And after 4 kms from Rampur, it knocked the chain lock away. and there I stand in middle of the road no lights around expect for the Forest fire.
I quickly sat down with my tools and the extra chain link. Then I realized that the battery of torch we had lost its power, may be due to the cold temperatures last night. I had to use the Nokia mobiles light. Held the mobile to my mouth and continued. I also had the head light on, so that I can see things around. Meanwhile Shyam went ahead to find a mechanic in the near by town. Within half hour I was able to fix it. Then Shyam came with the mechanic. He has almost searched the entire rampur gullys to find the mechanics house. It was already 10:30, the mechanic checked the fitment and took a test ride. It was now 11:00 and we had almost 2 hrs of ride left. he decided to stay there for the night! and Did!
