Kharapathar to Jubbal Road, Himachal Pradesh, India, 14 December 2016, 1100 hours:

We are heading towards Jubbal from Kharapathar. The weather is clear and warm today. Snow clad mountains are visible in the distance though the valley below is full of thick mist. I guess it’s because there has been no rainfall for a long time. But much to our delight the road condition is great.
