Tomorrow, Tuesday 18 December we have a big day on the road making our way from Pushkar to Delhi. It will take 7-8 hours depending on the traffic. It is mostly highway driving.
Deepak will have a roof rack fitted on the Tata when we return to Delhi, this is for our ski bag, it has been in storage back at Hotel Ajanta.
For the past week he seems a little apprehensive to be driving north where it is getting colder and snowy. I don't blame him the Tata is not a four wheel drive. We asked him this evening if he was okay about driving us. He said he was as far as Jammu maybe even to Srinagar depending on the road conditions.
The highway from Jammu to Srinagar has been operating with one lane due to the snow over the past week but it should be cleared by the time we reach it in ten days time. Shimla has also had snow but not enough on the road to make it unsafe.
Rajasthan has been spectacular but we came to India for the snow so now it is time to get there.
We will take nine days and the road trip will be scenic with lots of mountains which we are looking forward to.
Tonight we went out for pizza. There was a wood fired pizza place down the road. It was good to have something not so spicy. Jim had beer in disguise again, this time as a large silver soda, wink wink!

Hi Happy & Jim, I have finally tuned in and read all your updates in one hit. Loving the photos and dialogue. Almost feels like I'm there. This is a very memorable road trip! Envious of the Indian food - my absolute favourite, especially when it's authentic Indian! Travel safe:) Stay warm. Claire xx
