Solang Valley - When we got stuck for 3 days in her first Himalayan trip

Manali - Himachal Pradesh  had always been a go to place for me for a long time. Most of the times I went during post monsoon .But this time it was in 3rd week of Feb. Himachal had already recorded most snowfall this year  over   the last decade.It took us almost 12 hrs(including 3 breaks to reach Manali from Chandigarh. We checked in at Johnson's hotel. It was raining cats and dogs at Manali and temp was around 1 degree.

Manali - We wake up little early in the morning hearing the  hissing sound .It was snowing heavily , and she saw snowfall in her first trip to Himalayas .What can be  better than the Lemon-Ginger-Honey tea in such a chilling morning.

Hidimba temple - Solang valley.
We checked out from our hotel after a heavy breakfast at Manali and went to Hidimba temple for as short visit . This place is full of positive energy.There was divine presence everywhere- snow everywhere .We spend few hours in the temple courtyard and left for Solang valley. But our car got stuck in the snow once we crossed Nehru kund.We were stranded for few hours in the middle of the snowland .Our resort was almost 15 km away .Luckily we got help from a local car who dropped us at the Solang valley resort .Snowfall started that evening and went on for next 3 days. We were the only 2 people along  with the stuffs in the resort .We enjoyed the hospitality offered considering the extreme weather conditions which dropped minimum to -16 degrees Celsius.
Manali Rohtang pass highway was closed due to avalanche.So while returning we had to take Solang Valley- old Manali route .Damn the road was straight from pallet of the creator .
