A look at the real one with a real Jasoos..
Brings back memories of my trip to Sang La in 1995--in my Fiat1100. The first telephone was installed in that area at that time. Sukh Ram ( the thief ) had come over in a chopper. The Baspa at Sang La was pristine. We were the only tourists--nobody had seen one in that area, except truckers and military/itbp.
The population of Karcham ( village at the bottom where Baspa meets Sutlej ) was 240!!!
ITBP had a mule train going from Rakcham, if I remember right. The border was 30-40 km away.
The NJPC ( Nathpa Jhakri ) was being constructed--blasting everywhere
Karcham, Rakcham, Sang La, Rekong Peo, the eternal search for the real Kinnerr Kailash ( at least 4 different ones were pointed out by the locals )
