The local people told me that i was seriously risking my life. In keylong I stayed some nights in a buddhist monastery. Then i went to Uddhaipur and from there I walked a wrong track which became so dangerous that I had to walk back.
After that i walked through Pangi valley into kashmir and from there I went back to the mainland.
Nice trip and yes i forgot sunblock on the rotang walk and i lost my upper skin on my face.
I chose the hard way because I want to get tuff for the indian way of life.

Damn, I would die just trying to reach Rohtang let alone beyond it. I guess you are a true wanderer.

His story is enough to make us all look like little kids playing in a sand box
Yes- if you managed to reach Koksar over rohtang...you were in serious situation. For your information HP govt. has deployed mountaineers both sides with walkie talkie sets for locals support.
Many...many has perished while doing what you did and there had been stories of LAMA people-who choose to die up there in remote places.
If you did this with planning and calculation....congratulations !
