You'd be fibbing if you say that you do not wish to go on a Manali trip with your friends. From the 'yeh jawaani hai dewaani' moments to the breathtaking views, we had a trip worth lifetime of invaluable memories by spending a few bucks.
As astounding as each picture looks, our behind the scenes were a little distant from amazing. We planned our trip in the most wintry time of the year ( not recommended ). We had expected to stay in camps since it was the best way to step down and enjoy nature at its best. Still, we eventually ended up staying in the cottage after day 1. The temperatures were as low as -4 in Manali.
Nonetheless, we were all together comforting by the bonfire and enjoying every bit of it. While returning from Manali, we stayed a night at a Kasol camp where temperatures were better and had the most amazing new year eve ever. There were groups from all over the country, and we convened around the bonfire lilting songs all night.
Some recommended places from our trip :
Solang valley ( Adventure sports )
Jogini Falls( Trek )
Hadimba temple
Mall Road
Parvati Valley
Cafe's at Kasol
Gurudwara Manikaran Saheb
We outlined our trip effectively from covering the essential list ( for the chosen time of visit ) to making sure we do not miss any place on our plan.
Additional Tip: Though this would be mostly covered in the essentials, just make sure you carry your first aid and keep your tablets handy. With such challenging weather up there, you're likely to fall sick. Take every precaution you need, and enjoy one of the most enchanting places in the world.
Happy Travelling!
