Kaza, Himachal Pradesh, India, 29 January 2017, 0816 hours:
We are in the car and ready to go. We are making our second attempt at getting out of Kaza to Shimla and onwards to Chandigarh. The weather, which had been bright and sunny yesterday, has turned today and it is overcast, cold and looks like snow.

If we get caught in any fall of snow heavier than a sprinkle, we are likely to be stranded or have to turn back. Let’s hope for the best.
