Day 3
After the torture that I had gone through the entire night I felt that it was all worth every moment of it. Woke Vikas up and told him what happened with me the previous night, the reply was ME TOO.
Seemed like I was not alone. We did get some sleep but for short periods of time. I got up and took a few shots of the Sky and surroundings. Here it is.

Day 2
0600 - Woke up early after a good decent sleep without any disturbance. Felt like being in heaven after the sleep. Woke up lazy and sat on the bed and stretching myself to glory if you know what I mean. Had a few cups of Tea and fags and woke up Vikas [Crack] as well. Early sunrise was perfect but Sun rose way too early than expected. Our plan was to reach Rohtang by Sunrise but by 6am it was way too bright and felt like 8am rather. We were fresh for the start of the next leg of our Trip across Mountains. This is the day when we truly start exploring the real Himalayaz. Return to Himalayaz IV had just begun.

INTRODUCTION
Trip Log:
Friday Evening
I started getting calls by most of the people, giving some reason or the other. I Didn’t expect so many calls from Delhi as well as Chandigarh. Any ways, went to the office and started preparing for the trip as I had to do extra hours to complete my work there.
