Day 65 (Sun 10 Sep) - Kaza

Sarb was restless so got up early and went off in search of an internet cafe. Everywhere was closed but he thought this was just because it was early. Jo was quite happy just chilling in the room as she still didn't feel well. Sarb finally found an internet cafe open and he happily caught up on a few emails. We have realised that Sarb needs his regular fix on a computer.

Later in the afternoon we decided to have a little walk around Kaza ( [1], [2], [3] ) and look into how we could leave the next day. It was very hot and everything in Kaza seemed pretty closed. We did find a helpful travel operator who explained our options. We could either hire a jeep, get the public bus again or go in a shared jeep. He said hiring a jeep would be the safest option followed by going by bus. He explained that the problem with the shared Jeep was that they usually tried to fit as many people as possible in so there could be ten people in one jeep. We decided to mull over our options.

We decided to reserve a place on the public bus but also go back to our helpful tour operator to see if there was shared jeep available which had a driver who was not intent on taking the whole of Kaza back to Manali. He said he'd try to find one and should call back later. Returned and found out to our relief (Jo especially) that there was a shared jeep, leaving in the morning, and we were the only passengers so far and that the driver wouldn't carry more than five passengers.

We decided to book a place and after dinner we met our driver and arranged to be picked up at 5am the next morning.
