Route Map

Found these maps to illustrate where I've been. I started out in Calcutta, going to Varanasi for a long weekend (10 hr train ride), flew to Delhi (2 hr flight), trained to Agra (4 hrs), Agra to Jaipur (4.5 hrs) and Jaipur back to Delhi (5 hrs). From there I trained to Shimla (kind of on the right of Amritsar on this map) (10 hrs).

From Shimla, in Himachal Pradesh state, at the bottom left of the map, the road trip took me to Sarahan, Sangla, Chitkul (bottom right), and then up towards Kalpa, Nako, Tabo and Kaza. As the pass that brings you all the way around the big loop is only open mid April-ish, we had to drive all the way back the same way we came from, 2 days in total, or about 450km (average speeds on the windy narrow roads are about 20-30km/h)
