We survived the road to Keylong!!!
This is a top pick!
The road to Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India - A beautiful yet dangerous and bumpy ride to Manali involves a 22-25 hour drive with a stop over in Keylong. We decided to stay over in Keylong but had no idea what we were about to endure.

An unplanned stop off
... the vehicle had and the van was to all intense and purposes useless for the time being; suppose it's lucky he opted to stop here rather than being stranded 100kms further on....
In these situations it is absolutely impossible to get a straight answer from anyone, the driver promptly forgot all his English (which earlier had been fluent), and even forgot his Hindi when dealing with the Indian member of our bus party and began conversing in shrugs and ...
