The Kuari Pass - Day 1

The trak I got into was named the Kuari Pass. It apparently consisted in crossing it, though I had no idea what did I get myself into.

So I woke up at 6 a.m. in the morning, as my watch kept on changing the time, so I didn;t really know what time was it and I had to get to the Red Chilli Adventure office at 7:30 a.m. Afetr some tee, I went to the meeting point, to learn I had a complete breakfast waitting for me.

There, I met Arvind, our guide, a showman!! A very funny guy with a lot of sarcasm. A party man doing his ideal job, and you could just see he loved it.

The other members of the trek were also there, except for Erin, whom had gone on another trek days before and we had to meet her at some othe point on the way to the starting point. Paul is a 6.8 feet tall english guy from Sheffield with a very expresive face. And Grainne (pronounced like Gronya or Granya) is funny north irish woman, always laughing at everything.

The 3 of us, Arvind, the cheff, Choky (who seemed to be a great singer) and the driver left to Ghat, however at Chevna we had to change of jeep due to road conditions.

After a long ride full of excitement because of the roads, I did my first camping night in India.
