Road conditions - latest reports HP/Ladakh

Digital equipment on the road : one battered USB thumbdrive on my keyring, cap missing after it went thru a cycle in the washing machine. Camera. Zoom H2 for the soundclips.Posting from Kaza.

I'm hearing that HRTC is planning to offer onboard wifi to compete with the upcoming train - then I'll bring a laptop.

Are you saying then, you make your blog updates from cybercafes on the route?
.

Around 5 hours. Do take a look in the Railways forum as well, plenty of threads on this one subject!

Thanks Dilliwala. Will do that.

By the way, out of curioity I just took a look at the "Similar Threads" list at the bottom of this page and guess what was foremost: "Arthur Road Prison Conditions" !!!!! Wonder what connection the infamous prison has with this thread.

The way Shimla is "developing" it will feel like a prison soon!

Ok, back to your Q - what the software does is simply look for the same words in other titles (here 'conditions'), thereby throwing up some quite nonsensical links sometimes. Had someone started a thread this morning with 'Ground conditions at Dambulla for the one-day match', that wud have shown up too.

Any updates on the road conditions ?? Wondering how it would be in October ..

Cheers !!

A LOT can happen between now and Oct. The right time to ask wud be - end-Sept.

Hehehe, You bet!
Was just a lil curious as had to decide for my itinerary. I got 21 days on hand and planning to chill and sulk in Parvati valley. Lets see options are still open.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Cheers !!

As far as I know, puchoo's report in #121 is the latest available, but that's for Shimla.


Anyone been to Manali lately?
Where's vasuki? He always seems to have up-to-date info.

Yup, I did check that. No worries. I have my eyes set on this forum always !!

Hey Puchoo alias Sidharth

Remember that Im depending on you for an update for my husbands impending Shimla trip. I may also come along if there are enough of his FF miles to get me a flight.

Take care.

I await ,eagerly , for the grilling to begin!!

Came down to Manali today from Keylong , 5.5 hrs with shared jeep.Excellent weather. Muddy stretches before & and after the Rothang, no real problems. Chucked some decent snowballs at the pass.

The preceding two days were rotten , bikers coming in to Keylong looking ragged. Met friend from Spiti here who had an an hour of impressive snowfall near the Kunzum La. Will post pics later.

@vistet ... We wait for the pics to do the talking .. Glad to know u had a good one ..

Cheers !!

In other words - situation normal .
Are the potholes and craters between Gulaba and Gramphu gone?


Wow! In early September!
