Itinerary description
The second leg of our Manali - Leh was mainly dedicated to crossing the Rothang La (3978 m).
The south side of the Rothang La has a road in good conditions with asphalt in the most parts of the path; contrariwise the descend on the north side has an awful dirty road.
Starting from the bridge on the Chenab river at Khoksar, the road becomes better, again with asphalt, .
We stopped in a very good Daba (for the dinner) in Ghondhla that offered us a gas tank storage as sleeping room.
