Kishtwar to Killar

THIS IS IT! THIS IS IT! WE ARE SO EXCITED!

Today is the day we will ride 'The Most Dangerous Road in the World'!

OOOOOH. I AM SO EXCITED!

A rainy day on the Chenab valley

The rain in Spain may fall mainly in the plain...but here in the mountains its a pain

But it is beautiful

And it makes the ride more challenging...wet, muddy, cold

But we are undeterred

At times the road came so close to the river that we couldn't hear our engines over the roar of the river! Incredibly beautiful. This road rocks.

Just a little rainy riding vid

We were so happy when we found this little shop frying fresh hot samosas! That really hit the spot! Piping hot tea and samosas on a cold rainy day...bliss!

Some locals told us that this road is far too dangerous to be done in the rain, and we should stay at some village and try it tomorrow

So we decided the chill by the roadside

And take some snaps

But the Amigos cannot chill for too long. We have to RIDE!
Damn the rain - we decide - we will do the ride today itself!

It was really inspiring to meet these cyclists from New Zealand. Just motorbiking here was a challenge....but to cycle it! Wow.

What a road...what a view...we are overwhelmed

And here we are - on the Most Dangerous Road in the World. No tarmac - only mud. One side mountain, one side valley

And we can't wait to do it!

Though I must say that I look a bit nervous here

Let's take another look at this road. I couldn't capture the cliff and the valley and road in a single frame. See the road on top of the frame?

See the jeep on the road? That should give it a bit of scale

And here we are! The most dangerous part of the road! There is a steep decline with a bend. And the road is wet and muddy and slippery. If you slip on the bend, you will fall in the river. Bawa goes down fearlessly! Adi follows much more slowly. See the glimpse of the truck bearing down on us...
