Keylong to Kullu/Manali

This gallery contains snapshots from the second day of the drive to Kullu (Keylong-Manali-Kullu). Monsoon was wreaking havoc when I left Keylong.it was extremely overcast and raining for almost the entire duration of the drive. Had some really scary experiences on this route, but wouldn't trade it for any other drive, anywhere.

Confluence of rivers Chandra (flowing left to right in this picture) and Bhaga at Tandi. Had no plans of stopping here, but was forced to as the SUV was leaking engine coolant in buckets. Unable to fix it, a mechanic sealed the coolant pipe and asked us to cool the engine periodically using water from streams. His quote: "Not all vehicles have engine coolant".
