The Previus post Are you planning for Kullu Manali tells you how to plan the trip to Manali & some tips to follow.
Now i want to continue to that post by writing my own experiences in the Manali trip.

Actually that was thursday night we started from here as friday was off work. Friday is diwali(Choti diwali i think), we thought of starting early at 8 pm, as usually it was so late because some of the trip members hasnt arrived from the office.
After having dinner here all of us ie 6 guys started from here & went to Alka theatre junction to pick up 2 more frends, from there we started to move, but as we reached the signal light at Gol chakkar, we came to know that we forgot one of my frends laptop, evry one suggted that we defnetly need to have a laptop as we are carrying some 3 digicams, if we do have a laptop we can transfer the fotos immediately & can start fresh again with the cam/memory card.
We returned back to room & picked up the laptop & again started towards golchakkar.
thats exactly at 11:45 pm. My god the traffic was so heavy in the night.

we are still in the outskirts of delhi at 12:30 also.
After 1 hr of journey we stopped some where near a dhaba, had some chai, photo session ha ha
Spent around 30 min & started again.
I was the one who said the Kullu manali trip details to freinds,
i doono how it will be, whether the guys coming with me will be satisfied or not as i am the one who will face them.
Kullu manali was the only place i was always thought of going since i came to delhi.
we went on listening the songs & watching out a movie in the laptop, after couple of hours we reached chandigarh, ha here i wanna tell u 1 thing.
police stopped our vehicle & asked to show the papers, we showed them but they asked 500 rs & we were surprised/shocked to hear like that."trip mein jaarahe hai &
aap tho software engineer hai, dekhiye sir" are the words used by a police man.
i jus gave 150 bucks & we left from there, paid taxes at toll bridges & we move on, after an hour i think the Ghat road started.
barely no one has slept that nyt, & no one wants to. enjoying the beautiful mountains on the way.
guys are clicking the cams continously.
It started raining when we passsed kullu, i expected some apple trees, but i donno which side i have to see so that i get a glimpse, un fortunately i missed,
another reason was i closed the windows of the scorpio as it was raining.
i really thought, if it rains in Manali also & if it doesnt stop, wat will we do sitting in hotel rooms,
luckily there wasnt anything like that in manali, offcourse its raining there 2, but it was a small drizzling kind.
we went to manali at 2:30 afternoon.
jus checked in the hotel rooms & went out to a good hotel which offers Andhra style food. thali cost us 70 rs per person, but it was good.
we planned nothing to do for that day as evry 1 wants to rest for the day as no 1 slept the entire nyt.
guys started boozing & had dinner & slept for the nyt.
the next day was the big day for us-going to "Rohtang Pass" i waked up at 5 am & started waking up all guys, we started from Manali at 8:30, the route From "Manali to Rohtang Pass" was simply superb
but at places the road was not good & that2 it was raining, theres a bit of fear also as the roads are very slippery at that time.

on the way we had so many photo sessions.we had taken 3 digital cams & a mini handy cam.
at 10:30 i think we were halted/stopped at a place & were not allowed further, the reason-roads are blocked.
i forgot 1 thing here to tell-when we actually started seeing the snow guys are screaming & after some distance we were completely surrounded by snow filed mountains
which was the best view i have ever seen.
it is definitely one of the best journeys i ever made & a nice memorable one.
we havent taken any woolen clothes as evry one decided not to wear any & goes unshirt & play with the snow
& we did that
every one was watching us with out shirts & every one was completely under heavy woolens.

To be contd

Kullu-Manali-Rohtang Pass!

So how you are traveling?
How many days are you going to say?
What about accommodation?
Places to visit?
Best season to visit?
Wanna do shopping there?
What are the precautions to be taken?
I have answers for all. Let’s see from the first question-

So how you are traveling?
If you are starting from Delhi, I would suggest you to travel in a cab.
I will bet it will be an exciting journey for you.
If you are traveling as a group just book a MUV-a Scorpio, Innova etc which accommodates up to 8 persons (if you are 6, it will be comfortable to you).
From Delhi to Manali-602 km (what my Scorpio meter showed me) but worth traveling If you have already decided to go by road you will reach Manali after 12 hours-Including stoppages for food & other things.
If you know any travel agency then book your vehicle @ 6/- per km which I can say is the best deal. Start with loads of packaged food-chips, bhujia’s etc & off course music cd’s, woolens if traveling in September to Feb.
Note: Select a driver who has driving experience on Ghat roads because you will travel at least for 6 hours-nearly 200kms will be ghat road.
I will suggest you to start from Delhi in the evening i.e. at 11 pm so that you can have a glimpse of the hills & other beautiful picturesque in the morning.
You will reach manali at 11am or at least 12. Manali is 42 km from Kullu. You can visit some temples & do water rafting stuff in kullu.
Beas river shows you the way all over from kullu to manali.
Have a stoppage at Kullu & click your digi cams-suggested to capture the beautiful locations. If you have less time to spend then book your Air tickets, you will reach there with in an hour.



How many days are you going to stay?
Ah, already I have taken you to manali, so decide how many days you want to see.
Taking about my case, after reaching there, I decided to stay there at least for 5 days, previously I decided to stay for 2 nights.
I have never been to the place in the past, after seeing the snowy hills all around definitely I am not under control, It will be the same scene with you also, if you haven’t visited the place before. Take out some time & plan before starting itself to stay at least 5 days.

“Ok I think you have decided how many days you want to stay there’
