Caman The Enjaiment #4

The valley below the Gata loops! The view is so spectacularly beautiful and distracting, we’re in danger of going off the road on the twisties.

Another view of the valley. The river is the Beas river, a tributary of the Indus.

From the bottom-most loop.

A short while after the loops, we reached the camp-town of Sarchu. Our original plan was to camp here for the night, but it was still early in the afternoon, so we decided to push on to Bharatpur. But 10km out of Sarchu, we meet the RTMC boys Adrian, Sam and Arun, on their way up to Leh. Talk about wild reunions!

A short distance from the meeting point was an approriately named "Poppy Tent Camp". Pretty expensive place, but ideal for a party :- It had two-man luxury tents and a nice large central tent which was a dining hall, prayer room and party venue all rolled into one. We got very high that evening… and I’m not just talking of the 13500 ft above sea level.

Adrian, all warm and smoked up!
