Guys, Good news. We have a free accommodation arrangement in Kullu. One of my friend has a guest house in Kullu. He has agreed to provide us with free stay on 2nd June. The guest house is located in Prini, Kullu, near Angora farm. On reaching prini, angora farms, please call up paaji for further directions.

Activity In-Charge
Can guys please volunteer for being in charge of the activities mentioned below:

• Railway booking, confirmation, cancellation etc. - Vishwas
• Hotel accommodation booking – Rudra
• Money Management - Aman
• Communications, photography backup, blog writing etc. – Aman / Alankar
• Route planning, gathering detailed information about the places to visit, fuel stations, road conditions etc. – Spidey

Details of point no. 1, 2 and 5 needs to be detailed in the thread today itself so everyone can digest the information available.

We are still not sure about the Manali way. I feel there is a 50-50 chance of the road opening, and we should not take any chances, because if stuck, it will ruin everything.

Yes I agree but since this is free of cost, what's the harm?

Absolutely no harm, if the booking are being done without paying any advances!

No thanks. It does not fall under my job description.

Updated list of your purchases.

What % advance do you pay on something that's free?

Well my list of common items is complete

The accommodation is FREE. No money to be paid now or later.

@ Spidey - What is the progress of your purchases?

arre... i'm talking about the other bookings which Vishwas wanted to make (Mandi/Manali/Leh). I can 'read' this one is free.

I wanted to make booking simply because rudra / Inder were either not completing initial reccee or not letting us know. It is peak tourist time right now in that region and we may have to hunt for hotels in places like Manali, Leh and Srinagar so was desperate to at least book something tentatively.

That was the reason I spoke with my friend yesterday evening about free accommodation in Manali. However, Paaji told me in the evening that rudra has started booking hotels so stopped panicking.
