A Spectacular Narrow Gauge through the Ravines of Beas

Day 2 and the Final Day of our Sojourn. This was for covering by far the most spectacular Narrow Gauge section of India. We knew it was impossible to cover in 1 day so our target was to cover this section till Jawalanwala where it was more feasible.
