"Heaven in Himachal Pradesh"

May 23, 2013

Manali Experience: It was my first experience in Himalaya with my wife. I heard a lot about Manali before we reached there. The reality was much better than our imagination. The hotel & staff was very polite & cooperative. It was a holi festival at that time. I was surprised to see that local people were playing Holi with eggs. The traditonal folk music & dance was exiting and we all also participated in it. The main attraction was snow safari which was just few kilometers from our Hotel. In my life it was my first experience to play with real snow. I just can't forget this. The Gayatri temple and Vashishta hot water spring are also very good spots to visit.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food served in hotel was tasty and everybody from child to old person has loved it. Sightseeing is done by jeeps. Wearing Dangri ( special suit on rent to enter snowfield ) and gumboots for enjoying snow was a great experience. For shopping we got enough time on mall road. It was too cold on mall road but was comfortable in shops. You can shop anything there without carrying it with you. The shopkeepers offerd us to courier the purchased items to our home address.

Activities & things to do: Water rafting, skieing etc

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Carry extra warm cloths, umbrella, torch or flashlight is must. As weather in Himalaya is unpredictable , you should be well prepared when you reach there.

"Picturesque Manali"

Manali Experience: There are endless things in manali that will attract you, the roads filled with snow, winter chills, nice hotels, and the people especially were so cordial and inviting

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: The roads were filled with snow, we found different variety of foods on the market place with multi cuisine restaurants even the street side vendors cooked lovely food. Nice hotels and nice sight seeing places like solong valley, manikaran, hadimba temple. the trip to rotang will be one of the best trips in my books.

Activities & things to do: We did river crossing and paragliding which was quite reasonable when it comes to your pockets. but they could add new form of adventure sports as india is rapidly growing wid adventure junkies like me!

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: U can easily get the travel agencies near pahargunj railway station who can easily book you volvo bus tickets for manali which costs around 800 per person. but i would advice to book tickets personally after reaching or u can trust good websites for booking tickets.availability of hotel rooms depends on the season. i would advice the travelers to be careful of the street side vendors who sell clothes and apparels. do check your bags after shopping whether u have got the correct quantity of clothes you have shopped for or not.

"Manali - My New Year Destination"

Posted by Chetan Sharma
May 10, 2013

Manali Experience: Manali The HoneyMooners destination is worth visiting any time around the year except the rainy season. With many local places and sight seeing it is worth visiting the place.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Normally it try to eat out at local shops as that gives you the exact taste of the local place and I with whatever i have tried out in Manali from food standpoint it was like what I have in delhi. Most of the food joints gave taste of typical north indian taste and nothing was much different. There are lot of place to visit in Manali specially the Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass (Can visit only during summers or early winter before snow) and they are worth visiting. Try out the paragliding and ropeway at Solang valley. For shopping markets in Manali sells wollens from Ludhiana, Kahsmir which you can get easily in Delhi so it's not the worth to do shopping from Manali, though you can try out shawls from Kullu.

Activities & things to do: Visit to Hidimba Temple, Vashith Temple, are good. Visit to Solang Valley and tyr out the adventure sports is must. Visit Manikaran and prepare some rice in hot water spring. White water rafting around Kullu is also good.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Best way to travel is by road either by Volvo/Himachal Roadways Bus or on your own car. The travel to this part to Himalayas by your car is the easiest as roads are wide and with very less blind cuts. The last 80Kms or so from Malali require some care while driving but then worth to travel by car as you can stop by for sight seeing of some waterfalls and other natural beauties. From Delhi you can reach Manali either by Car via Delhi -> Chandigarh -> Baddi -> Kullu -> Manali. There is a airport also at Kullu but travel thru road is worth. I belive the best time to visit from May - December with specifically in Ocotober as you visit Rohtang and watch the world famous Kullu Dashehara. If you visiting in winters then carry good warm clothes.

"Manali - Review"

Posted by Karthik
May 07, 2013

Manali Experience: Manali is a truly amazing destination for travelers. It is situated in the lap of the snow-clad mountains, the Himalayas. It offers a magnificent getaway for travelers in Summer. One can feel the chill even in Summer!! The scenic beauty of snow everywhere especially the snow point captivates the visitors. Besides there are other good places like the Ghatodkach and the Hadimba temple. Overall, it is a must-visit for an avid nature lover in India.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Good food is available in Manali although a bit expensive. The availability of vegetarian outlets is less near the top of the mountains. Taking winter wear can be very handy. One would have to shell out a lot on the vehicle and other conveyance to the snow point. Be careful with leasing out mountain clothing as they can take the travelers for a ride.(got duped). Shopping may not be that worth here barring some shawls.

Activities & things to do: Best time to visit is in Summer. Make sure to spend a lot of time in Manali as there are many places to watch. If one gets to reach the Rohtang pass, its a delight since the road to it is closed many times.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Carrying winter wear, jackets, blankets etc can be handy. Be careful with the tourist guides etc. Be careful in the mountainous terrain . Do not venture out too far in the snow and always stay close to people. One can reach Manali by road. It is relatively close to Chandigarh and quite a distance from Delhi.
