We reached Manali around 11 AM on Day 2 (Saturday, 25th Sep). Got a room in Hotel Naveen, Manali for 2 hours for refreshments. After having super good lunch, got a taxi from Manali to Leh around 2.25 PM. One old man from that hotel arranged taxi for us but it is always good to go directly to the taxi stand and hire one.
We were planning to stop at Rohtang La (La means pass) and play in the snow. But we got stuck in a traffic jam before Rohtang for some half an hour and it was too late when we reached Rohtang.
We had dinner just before Keylong and stayed in Hotel Snowland in Keylong. It is a decent place for one night stay.
