Greatly said, “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before” which is a great word to live by. There’s something exciting about exploring a new place every year. It can be a new country, a new city, or an interesting spot near your hometown.
So, is there something you want to do that freaks you out? Go for it because sometimes, the scariest ideas turn into the best travel memories like “When I fell in love with the magical “Abode of Snow ⛄”.
Manali is such a beautiful place that it mesmerizes our souls. Manali basically means ‘Home of Manu’.
Manali is a full flashed package of adventure, trekking, hiking, sightseeing, and many more things.
One and half years back I have visited this place. It was soothing and beautiful which I would really like to revisit. It was full of a thrill as I have first seen its glory with my naked eyes I was astonished and touched by its beauty.
In this way, Manali welcomed me in its arms. And from here my journey started.
I first visited Solang Valley. Its way was full of excitement and enthusiasm. I was not able to wait for a long to play in the snow, see the beauty of nature, and breathe refreshing air. We can do various activities here like trekking, paragliding, skiing, ropeway, etc. Even now, I still remember the juicy corn and rajma rice were very tasty.
The second place I visited there was ‘Hadimba Devi temple’ the most auspicious in the region. I felt a different kind of energy there.
The same day I visited a very beautiful and famous place ‘Manikaran’. This place is very famous for its hot springs and people dive into the hot water which is not that hot to wash their sins. A beautiful and ancient Gurudwara is also situated here.
When I was going back to my hotel, Kasol was on the route. Such a charming place. Well, it is situated in an open space on the edges of the river.
The very next day I visited Kullu. It was also very beautiful and soothing to my eyes where I did river rafting and boating. Well, Kullu is famous for its shawls.
The same day I visited Mall road. It is situated between the main city. It is lined with hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, shops, and different types of other stuff. It was the centre of attraction. Had to take some memorable thing from there, I thought then I took a wooden nameplate for my house.
I must say Manali is full of culture, craft, different types of religion, adventure, wildlife, and languages.
So finally it was my time to say goodbye to such a beautiful place. I just left Manali but it took my heart. A big smile comes to my face whenever I think about my Manali trip. It just feeds my soul through its mesmerizing beauty. This trip was truly amazing and the best one of my life.
