The road from there upto Rohtang pass was in bad shape, thanks to Himachal govt. for taking the task to widen that route, the result, all slushy, bumpy ride. As I was approaching the Pass, I started seeing the snow peaked mountains, I started realising that all around me was fresh snow, even at some places I was driving over 2-3 inches of snow layer on the road. When I reached Rohtang Pass, it was completely covered with 2-3 feet of snow and the local tea stall chap told me that it has snowed the whole night and I might face difficulty at certain places on that route. But in no mood to return back, I was decided to reach Kaza on that very day, so I carried on.
As I crossed the pass, the situation worsened for about next 5-6 kms. Heavy snow, few vehicles were stuck, but I was lucky because a few trucks and HP road transport buses had crossed by me, so they had already created the stable way.
I was constantly stopping and taking some of the most amazing shots of my life. I was feeling as if this is not earth, this must be a paradise, a heaven, fresh white snow all around, all the peaks were full of fresh white snow. I was witnessing nature at its best, it was really beautiful. Soon the snow view ended and I was reaching at Gramphu crossing. It must have been around 10.00AM.
