From
Manali up to the Rohtang Pass at 13,000 ft, the Raid enters
Spiti Valley on the second day’s run. It races along the
roughest of roads (or what pass for roads) along the swift,
unforgiving waters of the Chandrabhaga river, via Gramphoo,
Chhatru, over the Kunzum Pass (which had a foot of snow
only a few days ago) and Losar, until finally sighting the
night halt -- Kaza. At the end of the day the overall images
that crowd every driver or rider’s tired mind are those
of boulders, boulders and yet more boulders!
