DAY 529


About a quarter of the distance and about half the time was spent on 'kutcha' roads. Rocky, gravelly, sandy they shake you about but are fun to ride. We frequently passed road gangs repairing the roads after land slips - common, especially after the monsoon and winter seasons. One road gang we came across held us back with a little red handkerchief while they dynamited some larger obstacles on the road ahead. Along the Pangi valley between Sach Pass and Rohtang Pass, the road has been blasted out of the steep cliffs.
