Journeys - Manali to Kaza

During this journey through the Lahul and Spiti Valley (between Manali and Kaza) I could not stop snapping up this breathtaking scenery. It's impossible to capture how beautiful it is, its just stunning blue skies and amazing mountains. The scenery changes around every corner, snow cap peaks one minute and a moon scape the next.

The journey starts of green and gets drier and dried as we ascend higher and higher past the water shed.























Rob with his eyes glued to the passing scenery.



Entering the Spiti Valley.













Nomadic herder with his flock.





Here they come!



Getting closer.....





Battling our way through a flock of goats and sheep.



That's the road on the right. It's bumpy and small with over hanging rocks and lucky (on this leg) no landslides.







This is the Kunzum Pass, the highest I have ever been at 4551m. It literally and figuratively takes your breath away! Its so clear, beautiful and peaceful up here. Maybe its due to the lack of oxygen to the brain.....





Actually, the highest I've been is now 4551.50m......
