Man proposes but
God disposes.
Interesting beginning YS but food review is getting preference over the other journey details.
Waiting for more pictures and descriptions of the enroute locale .
That day I was in Kandaghat, and I guess it was raining till Salogra (before Solan). Seems you did not encounter rain that day.
But during my journey towards Chandigarh it was beautifully raining and mountains were clear and clouds were playing.
