My Manali Experience

 My Experience at Manali: A Travelogue

It was a chilly October winter morning. Two days had already passed since I had appeared for my JEE Advanced exam. Having gone through a lot of mental ups and downs in the past few months, I desperately wanted to go somewhere and find my peace. That's when I started Googling about "Places in India to visit in October" and I came across so many articles featuring this heavenly place called Manali, in Himachal Pradesh!

That's when I, along with my mom, decided to plan a trip to Manali.

16th October, 2021: When we Boarded to Delhi

After researching about Manali, I, and my mom packed our bags. We prepared ourselves with warm clothes, EXTRA warm clothes, toiletries, etc. and boarded the train from Kota to Delhi. We reached Delhi in almost 4 hours. Fortunately, we had booked a 5 day Kullu-Manali package, so we didn't have to do much. In the evening, we boarded on a bus from Manali to Delhi and by 8 am the next day, we reached Manali!

First Day In Manali!

After surviving the jerks and jolts of the rough roads of the Delhi-Manali route, our body demanded rest. So till 11 am, we gave our spines some rest, following which, we got a call from our taxi driver informing us that we need to brush up for the first-day sightseeing.

We set out for our first day in the taxi and the view we witnessed throughout was just amazing! Snow-capped mountains, the cold manali weather, localites wearing their traditional caps; big, tall, green trees and a beautiful colour scheme of blue, green and white! It was a pleasure to even just watch out of the window!
