Manali - Leh Road

Hi all! Just checking in because I think some of you may be concerned. Right now I'm in Manali waiting for our noon taxi ride to Leh. Manali really reminds me of Washington. There are huge evergreen trees and apple orchards. It's really gorgeous! I'm excited already for what Leh is going to look like. Most of the taxis leave Manali at 2am and get into Leh at 8pm (about 18 hrs). I think they time it so you catch the sunrise over the pass. Katie and I are on a time crunch though so we had to pay a smidge extra to get out at noon and get into Leh at 6am. We may miss some of the mountain pass views but it's not possible for us to wait. We have to catch our flight out of Srinagar and if we missed that, we miss all of our trains out of Calcutta. Well, off I go! We're armed with altitude sickness meds and tylenol PM. I think we'll make it just fine! see you in Leh!
