Long Forgotten Signpost!

Posted on March 12, 2009
As Seen Near Batal, Spiti Lahaul Region

The sign board says that the access road from Batal to Chandratal is 14km and it is jeep route too. Just after the trip I would think daily why I did not take this road. And then when I saw this picture again, it seemed to be such a far away incident. One day I have to take this road and see Chandratal.

    Well I tried to take the route but the road was blocked! Apparently the authorities dig up the last stretch towards season end to prevent errant tourists from getting there. Chandratal will be one big reason for getting back to Spiti!

    Well I did it in 1989 when there were no roads leading to Chandratal and it was majestic!One small correction- both Batal and Chandratal fall in Lahaul region and not Spiti

    Reminds me of the poem The Road not taken by Frost
