Himachal Pradesh is a heaven to visit during winters. It is synonymous to snow beauty on earth because of it's serene and mesmerizing places to visit. It has several hill stations and landscapes to escape from the hot climate and the busy life of Mumbai.
I went on this trip with my friends and so it is one of the most memorable trips of my life till now. I started my journey with Chandigarh express from Bandra terminus on 30th December and reached Chandigarh by 5.30 pm on 31st December. From there we went for local sight seeing and after that resumed our journey for Dharmshala via our tour bus.

We finally reached Manali by 7.00 am, checked in the hotel and got to see the above beautiful view from the window.
We went to a river sight place and enjoyed the nature's beauty, clicked some beautiful pictures and created life time memories. Explored the mall road, had some local street food and bought some stuffs. There's also a garden in the local area which one can visit which had an entry ticket of Rs.50 per head. After exploring that place we headed back to out hotel, we had dinner and took a nap to refresh ourselves for the next day's journey.

We started out journey fro Solang Valley through our bus and took a halt to rent the clothes from the local store for the snow fall. It was for Rs.100 (Full costume + Leather boots). After reaching Solang Valley, what I saw was something that I never experienced anywhere else. The place was full of snow and it was very cold on the top. We truly enjoyed the whole weather and clicked some amazing pictures.

Dharmshala is the hillside city on the edge of Himalayas and it has a lot of wonderful places to visit. The well know Dalai lama lake is situated here. Dharmshala stadium is one of the tourist attracts over here and it actually is worth seeing. The whole stadium is well maintained and the view from and around the stadium is breathtaking. The mountains and the snowy view was a real beauty and it was something that one cannot describe in a picture.

This place has a lot of chaos and a lot of Tibetan population can be seen here. There are many monasteries, temples, waterfalls and lakes one can visit. We went to the famous market of McLeod Ganj and had the local food. There are a lot of exciting things over here that one can buy. I bought a shawl and a neck piece from here. We also had pastries which are worth trying if anyone visits here. Chai and Coffee was an essential wherever we went lol!
Day 5
This was the last day of our trip so we went for local sight seeing near our hotel. Had our lunch in the afternoon and then were prepared to head back to Mumbai again! This was the end of my 2020's first trip to the most amazing place.
