Note :— just in case you are concerned about paragliding’s safety, let me tell you pilots are well trained and very motivating. They will boost your confidence and morale and will make you feel comfortable. Also, paragliding can only be done at most by people having weight of 75 kgs . It’s very rare if you are over weight.
Similarly a very less known but important mythological place is also hidden in Solang Valley. Yes, Anjani Mahadev Temple. It is said that MataAnjani mother of Lord Hanumana worshipped to Lord Shiva here and he rewarded her prayers with her son Lord Hanumana.
You can tak AVT bikes to reach there or a pony.
You can also trek upto 5 km to reach this place. Believe me the route is very beautiful.
If you are lucky and your AVT rider is cool enough, he will even let you drive the vehicle and can teach you as well. Trust me it’s wonderful.
It is believed that in winters the fall above the Anjani Mahadev’s shivlinga frozes and builds a 40ft tall snow Shivlinga and in summers feet chilling water welcomes you to the temple.
If you are done with these beautiful places and feeling hungry, don’t worry. There are food stalls in the valley serving tastiest Maggie and other foods as well. Don’t forget trying them once.
