Manali             When it comes to Manali, the first thing that hits your mind is honeymoon packages, but sure nowadays the place has also become a favorite destination for trekkers as well. Day-3: Manali en-route                       We continued for our journey from Shimla on 3rd day towards Manali early morning.I was especially excited because of the things I had read about the scenic views on the way from Shimla to Manali.

Manali Adventures and Kasol ( except Kheerganga 😔) This is continuation of our Manali trip. Read the previous blog to check itenary and details of Manali.( Manali Trip Details ) Day 5: Snow activities      We had kept this day only for snow activities as we all were excited to see snow for the first time and did not want to hurry away the time.

Although enough for a slid...
