We traveled from Delhi to Manali on Day 1 by Bike after a long journey of over 14 hours. Fortunately, we were able to arrange our Rohtang Permits even that late right at the entry point of Manali. On Day 2, we went from Manali to Jispa, riding through the beautiful Lahaul Valley.

The other three were still sound asleep and there were a few things needing to be taken care of before we could be on our way to Rohtang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The top item on the list was to get the flat wheel on my motorcycle fixed. Even though we had the necessary tools on us to fix it, I was still in no mood of doing the job myself. Leaving the trio in their respective dreamlands, I stepped out of the hotel, hoping to find a mechanic shop open.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a13ae403ab1d\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a13ae403ab1d\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Day_2_%E2%80%93_Manali_to_Jispa_via_Rohtang_Pass\" >Day 2 &#8211; Manali to Jispa via Rohtang Pass<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Confusion_More_Delay\" >Confusion &amp; More Delay<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Manali_to_Rohtang_Pass\" >Manali to Rohtang Pass<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Traffic_at_Rohtang\" >Traffic at Rohtang<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Rohtang_Top_to_Kokhsar\" >Rohtang Top to Kokhsar<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Breakdown\" >Breakdown<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#The_Delay\" >The Delay<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Jispa\" >Jispa<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#Camping_at_Jispa\" >Camping at Jispa<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/#A_Peaceful_Night_in_Lahaul_Valley\" >A Peaceful Night in Lahaul Valley<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Manali_to_Jispa_via_Rohtang_Pass\"><\/span><strong>Day 2 &#8211; Manali to Jispa via Rohtang Pass<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I roamed around in Manali for an hour on foot. But there was no mechanic shop open that early. I gave up after looking at every possible place and asking a few locals. Luck favored while on my way back to the hotel. I finally found a mechanic shop just opening up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was quite close to the hotel and I wanted the guy to come to the hotel. But he insisted that I get the motorcycle to his shop. I was hesitant to drag a 350 CC Royal Enfield on a flat wheel, fearing that it might do some damage to the Tire itself but had no choice. I walked back to the hotel, woke everyone up, and brought the motorcycle to the repair shop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A couple of hours later, the motorcycle was fixed and we were all up and ready to continue our journey to Rohtang. The clock showed slightly past 10 AM when we checked out of the hotel. Just like the day before, we were again late by 5 hours on our plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We had the passes arranged the previous night so that part was taken care of already. The only thing that was worrying me at the moment was the risk of getting stuck in a Traffic Jam near Rohtang top. That would further delay our ride from Manali to Jispa. Hoping for the best, we started on our way from Manali to Jispa.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confusion_More_Delay\"><\/span><strong>Confusion &amp; More Delay<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was riding ahead of the group. After a few kilometers, I noticed that I was not being followed by anyone. I slowed down a bit but the others still didn&#8217;t catch up so I came to a complete halt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After waiting for about 15 minutes, there was still no sign of the other three. I decided to backtrack a bit fearing some trouble. I went all the way back to Manali but still couldn&#8217;t find either of them. None of them was answering his phone either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a moment&#8217;s thought, the best possible idea I could come up with was to go back to the hotel and find out if they are still there but they weren&#8217;t. So there I was, standing at the hotel again and continuously calling their cells with no idea about where they went.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After what seemed like forever, Rohit answered his phone and the mystery of their disappearance was resolved. The trio had noticed a gas station near the entrance of Manali last night and went back that way to fill up their tanks, in the exact opposite direction of the way we were supposed to be going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This sounded silly. There were other gas stations on our way towards Rohtang and there was absolutely no need to go back towards the Manali entrance for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I waited and waited and finally, they reappeared on the road. After giving all three of them an earful, we started again and this time I kept checking to ensure that they were still on my tail.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manali_to_Rohtang_Pass\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Manali to Rohtang Pass<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ride to Rohtang is pretty scenic. It really has some dramatic views consisting of lush green hills, several waterfalls, grazing horses, and views of snow-capped mountains. Even for people like me who had been here several times before, it is still awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Para-gliding from Rohtang Top<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9070\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9070 size-full\" title=\"paragliding at rohtang\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass.jpg\" alt=\"paragliding at rohtang\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/paragliding-at-rohtang-pass-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We took our first break at Kothi, at a Dhaba that we stop at every time we pass by here because of the delicious Aaloo paranthas it offers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/vargis-khan-16\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9074\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9074 size-full\" title=\"vargis khan\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan.jpg\" alt=\"vargis khan\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/vargis-khan-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traffic_at_Rohtang\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Traffic at Rohtang<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ironically, I was waiting for a barrier to appear on the road with cops asking for Rohtang permits but it just wasn&#8217;t there anywhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We kept riding up and there was no sign of any barrier or cops or anyone for that matter.

It could very well have taken more than an hour but Shoaib came to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noticed some space on the left where one could manage to squeeze a motorcycle. But because of the mud, no one was attempting it. Brave Sir Shoaib took on the task and successfully completed it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rest of us followed and pretty soon every motorcyclist was using the same narrow space to overtake the traffic and avoid the unnecessary wait time.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rohtang_Top_to_Kokhsar\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Rohtang Top to Kokhsar<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fortunately, we did not encounter another traffic Jam.

It turned out that the guy had been waiting there for the last couple of hours; for some sort of public transport to arrive. He was going to Keylong and since we were all traveling solo on 4 motorcycles, we offered him a ride which he readily accepted and hopped on with Sunny on his CBZ.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breakdown\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Breakdown<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We registered ourselves at the check-post before Kokhsar and continued but not for long.

It was the first one of the day and 3rd of the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But it wasn&#8217;t just me. A few minutes later Sunny arrived and he too had a flat tire. This was 2nd of the day and 4th overall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We had just crossed a puncture repair shop in Kokhsar.

It took the idiot another one hour to change the tubes on our motorcycles.

The plan for Manali to Jispa was back in place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Saw these guys. They were not too happy about posing for a couple of shots.

So the last 30 km of Manali to Jispa were ridden in total dark. I was hoping to find the same camping site that we last stayed in at Jispa but was surprised to see it replaced with wooden huts.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camping_at_Jispa\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Camping at Jispa<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was another camping site at Jispa which Rohit found. Charges were almost the same but we chose to stay in the huts. Primarily because we were the only guests there as opposed to the other camping site, which had quite a few people staying for the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being the only guests means peace and sole attention of our hosts. The second reason was that the huts were right next to the river whereas the tenting accommodation site was on the other side of the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I don&#8217;t know why the river even mattered at that time because it was dark already and we were going to be gone early in the morning. But for some reason it did and we wanted to be as close to the river as we could.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Peaceful_Night_in_Lahaul_Valley\"><\/span>A Peaceful Night in Lahaul Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Rohit and I were finalizing our stay at the huts, I wondered what was taking Shoaib and Sunny so long. There was still no sign of them. They arrived sometime later and the reason for the delay was revealed. Sunny had a flat tire again. 3rd of the day and 5th of the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/camping-at-jispa-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9080\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9080 size-full\" title=\"camping at jispa\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1.jpg\" alt=\"camping at jispa\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/camping-at-jispa-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9081\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9081 size-full\" title=\"rohit wadhwa\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2.jpg\" alt=\"rohit wadhwa\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-2-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-jispa\/camping-at-jispa-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9082\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9082 size-full\" title=\"manali to jispa\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3.jpg\" alt=\"manali to jispa\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/camping-at-jispa-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We checked ourselves in and soon it was time to sit around a bonfire.
