My Himalayan Odyssey Part 6 – BRO On The Hilly Highways
A road trip in the Himalayan foothills involves many things – adventure, fun, great views and most uniquely to India – road signs from our BRO.

My Himalayan Odyssey Part 5 – Chalo Jalori!
Please forgive me… so tardy that I am not even giving an excuse. Just read please. I think the very fact that the www.dangerousroads.org lists the road to Jalori on its site should have warned me off.
