Thumbs up Could we date it please??

Very nice article by Gaurav Punj.

Took me back to 2005 when I did the Pin Parvati and the Pin Bhaba Passes in a single trekking schedule ("Pin Bhaba"="Wang Khango" of this article).

Gaurav, is it possible to add a date to this event, at least in the "comments" page.

If it has happened in 2007, it means Road transport to the Pin Valley is questionable as of today (30 March 2008). One has to possibly trek on foot for two more days to Attargu. Repairs will not start till June and the Parvati to Mudh crossing may also have a couple of stone-bridge crossings being washed away.

Which means one has to provide two more trekking days till news of "Mudh road links restored" reaches us.

Gaurav, very nice article... Thanks

Send a message via Yahoo to Gaurav.Punj
August 2007 is when we had this experience. So I guess, the road might still not be open. Anyone has any updates?

And I was there in Pin Valley just a couple of weeks before that...
Was there in the third week of July 2007 with a travel mate...
Roamed all over Spiti including Pin Valley...
Not a drop of rain then...
The weather, I guess, always has a major role to play in ones travel plans...!
Cheers...!
