[In the Mud - Himachal Pradesh]
4250m
Mudh, my most memorable time on this trip. I ended up spending one month here; at first 2 weeks and then I came back after a week for another 2 weeks.
Literally nothing out here but a couple of guest houses and restaurants. Just what I needed at the time, silence, sitting in nature and lots of walking, with wonderful star gazing at night, especially when the electricity was out- I could easily see the Milky Way bands across the sky.
Literally did get stuck in the mud here. I was doing some maintenance on my motorcycle when it got stuck in false neutral- I literally had no gears. I was careful in planning my trip to bring all the necessary tools and spare parts- except for an allen key! (and no one in the village had one or the other tourists on motorcycles who came).
In the end I had to do a 5hr return bus ride to the nearest town where I met a foreigner living there. He was kind enough to go around town with me asking some of the locals if they had any tools. 2 days later I had a 4hr return ride to bring the tools back...I am so grateful I didnt end up having to put the bike on a truck and bring it to a mechanic as I have seen many tourists do in this area, and those hours watching the mechanic work on my bike paid off too.
