It was our first anniversary and we had to go somewhere!! Sushil, Priyanka, Nitish and I decided the place to be the very famous old Shimla-Manali, to beat the summers of Hyderabad. What can be more relaxing than to be on a hill-station during the summer season of India. Thanks to the corporate world, where we cannot take more than a week holiday! So, it was a short trip again, two days in Manali and two days in Shimla. It was worth every penny there. The mountains, early morning view, river all the way along the journey and the pahadi's! It stole my heart.
The journey started on 30th from Hyderabad to Chandigarh via Delhi. We reached Delhi at midnight and checked in into a hotel next to the airport.
1st May, morning we had a flight to Chandigarh. Once we reached Chandigarh, the cab was waiting for us at the airport. We had booked a package from Antilog Vacations.
We started our trip to Manali. On the way to Manali we had breakfast (yum aloo paratha) at Haveli.. then lunch (which was okaish) at some random dhaba kinda on the way. We saw
Padoh river on the way.
We did river rafting on the way. The view was amazing. It was chill.
Finally we reached our hotel - snow villa. Had amazing north Indian dinner and walked in the area nearby to view the night chill scenes.
2nd May,2018: We woke up in the middle of the mountains, could see the snow-peaked mountains. It felt like Switzerland.
After having breakfast at the hotel itself, we headed towards the Solang Valley. On the way to Solang Valley, we saw lot of apple trees which did not start bearing the fruit though. The view on the way was awe-struck and serene.
We took an ATV to reach to the top of the Solang Valley. You can choose horses or simply walk up. Walking up is not a good option, as it is far and lot of ATVs and horses on the way would disturb.
We did some sports activities there, like crossing the river etc.
We proceeded to visit few more places which were in the package like mentioned below:
Nehru Kund,Kothi, Solang Valley (World Famous For Adventure Sports Activity) and up to Gulba/Hadimba devi Temple and Click Pics under pine trees/Vashit Hot Water & Old Shiva Temple /Club House/Tibetan Monastery/The Manali Mall Road.
We took a ropeway further from Solang Valley to reach further heights where people were doing paragliding etc.

We visited the mall road in the late evening and proceeded to take rest for the day.
3rd May, 2018: We were all set to start for Kufri. Took horses to Kufri.
We did not find any snow there. On the top of the mountains, after reaching there, we saw an old Shiva temple, and the view was good. We proceeded towards Shimla.
On the way, we found lot of Minchy's shop and stopped to buy few sharbats and pickles.
We reached Shimla and visited the mall road. I fell in love with the mall road. We spent the entire evening there, roaming and having good food.
