Manali to Dharamsala

I rented an Enfield for 10 days in Manali. Yesterday we started heading towards Dharamsala. Last night we stayed in a small town called Kullu. Now we are staying the night in Joginder Nagar, which seems pretty nice so far. We should be be in Dharamasala tomorrow night then we will loop back towards Manali. The ride has been pretty nice so far. It rains sometimes but we usually just stop until it passes. The roads go through the mountains so it takes quite a while to cover a fairly short distance. 

I had a little trouble with the bike before leaving Manali. The kick start lever fell off. I got that fixed and its been running pretty well. It cost me 600 Rupees per day (about 12 USD). It is kind of expensive but seems to be worth it. 

I have a bus ticket back to Delhi on the 7th. That means I will be there on the 8th and can catch my flight on the  9th. The bus from Delhi to Manali took about 18.5 hours. Hopefully we make better time going back because its much less comfortable taking buses through the mountains then trains. 

Its beautiful up here. The mountains are a nice change from the chaos of the cities. Its like a completely different world.
