My Excursion To Rohtang Pass

Rohtang Pass is an area of permafrost. It is 51 km from Manali. The word Rohtang means pile of corpses(spooky, eh)  The cold is unbearable at first but soon you get the rays of the sun. When I first touched the ice with bare hands, i felt semi paralysed. If you feel cold do grab a sip of the coffee or else eat the hot maggi. Maybe your maggi story could be a part of the 'Meri Maggi' stories. Coats are available for rent too. Beware the slippery ice and wear shoes with a good grip or be ready to break your bones. The view from the zero point is very ravishing and somewhat resembles Switzerland which I saw in some films(cause I have not visited it). If you want to do some activities, sitting on a yak or else skiing are good options. Well you can even do snowmobiling till zero point. If you have a good big group, snow fighting is a good idea. And of course don't forget to do sledge racing. It is so cold that even your pee will freeze!!!Overall the place is full of fun and will send a chill down your spine(because of the cold).
