Landed at about 4am local time and after being introduced our mountain bikes (rather cheap vrsions of what we have at home) we set of with Ancur (our guide) and our driver to Pathankot, a town in the northern most part of Punjab
The journey took 12 hours to cover (circa 300 miles) and took us thrugh mile after mile of paddy field and increasingly erratic driving from the other road users). By the time we got to go for a walk in the town we were witnessing mutple lines of motor rickshaws with motorcycles and cows all coming towards us at the same time. Chaos.
After arrivng at town (27 hours travel) we looked around the local market early evening and visited a local temple. Then it was back for a meal and my blog. So far so good, but the cycling starts in earnest tomorrown (60K) and a camp in the hills. Appparently we will be picking up a cook tomorrow so with the guide and the driver, that will be three looking after the two of us!!
