Rode from Amritsar to Dharamsala today, about 200 kms of life threatening riding....got hit twice, rear ended by a scooter and side swiped by a van. Stayed on both times....
They can't be putting their driving down to karma, it's just shit, if they used their mirrors it would help
.
So I'm now in the foothills of the Himalayas in a town called Dharasalam. It was recommended to me. The only difference I can see is that the piles of rubbish are a different shape!!!
Found a nice hotel at £20 a night, it's expensive for the area but I thought I'd treat myself....
Robbing bastards want £5 for internet access though.
So a few photos of the scenery on the way, it's getting better thank god. There's a photo of my crash helmet in there, I'm trying to show the amount of dust and dirt on the padding, I don't know if it's clear enough but it might give you an idea of the crap I'm breathing in all day!!
Another day on the scary roads....
