          I was thinking more on the lines of a 'Polarisation Filter'. Wouldn't that have a similar effect. Lesser reflections, greener greenery, Bluer sky, clearer waters... would be great accompaniment to the SLR..

                        No they arent, I guess heading to Manali was a sensible decision with the route they had planned...but would like to knmow why do you think otherwise? especially since you never got to see that route

                          Not that the route is bad..but bcoz now they might have to return back to chandigarh and take the detour to srinagar .. which has cost them 2 days.

                          • just came back from leh to manali. ananth and I I managed this section two days ago. roads are in pretty bad shape, especially barlachala. would be advisable to do the srinagar stretch for the next 5-10 days and then attempt the manali route. definitely bikable but in pretty bad shape.

                                Losar-gramphoo is very bad with slush & black ice.60kms took a total of 11 hrs. of uphill climb for seasoned tourers.
                                downhill was quoted to be risking one's life.
                                An entire stretch is just boulders & rocks of river bed covered with mud,water & ice.

                                That was MG's reaction
                                Inder loosing Biking Virginity before losing his own which might be even more tougher than Khardungla :P

                                Congrats man.From what we heard first hand reports its pretty tough out there & Baralachla being closed most of the time results in wastage of days.

                                since we don't have time on hand ,decided to detour & ride via Srinagar.
