Heyee..
It was just too good to be in Manali.. I enjoyed it a lot.. from stepping into the bus to stepping out it left me with such good memories that i will cherish.. i got the front seat near the gate and my co passenger was also quite nice he helped me in planning my trip.. as i had just these few days to spend in Manali and near about.. but ... I stepped out of the bus at around 8.30" mrng.. i thought that why take a room today and right now.. so i started to walk towards solang valley so as to do the paragliding.. the views were just awesome.. i soon realized two things.. the best way to enjoy Manali was either on foot or on bike.. I had less money so i planned to take the first option.. and i no where regret this choice.. as my co-passenger had informed me that the solang valley was around 5-7 km but it was the double.. so i can say that i trekked for this 14kms distance to and fro.. and on my way just after 2kms walk i started feeling hungry and had the student favorite maggie at a local home cum shop.. and then again began to walk the 14 km to the valley.. i was just aiming for the para gliding exp.. i was mesmerized by the view and wad just comparing it with Darjeeling.. but later came to a conclusion that both can not be compared at all.. both are completely distinct for me.. and while trekking there was a metal bridge and i should question its existence.. and then finally got the shortcut and indeed it was nice to take that road.. the weather was also just so beautiful.. it seemed to me as if it was a different world altogether. I could not believe it once that a place like this can exist. I was just so happy from within but just couldn't express it to any one making it much more better . And while i walked for a while then on the lonely road met two strangers they were foreigners. When i rushed my feet and approached them both were females i asked them as to where they were heading towards.. they were also going to the solang valley. So that in short meant that i had got a company at-least until solang valley.. we walked together and exchanged the talks and it was nice.. We reached the solang valley and they were confused as to if they were to do the paragliding or not.. but after a few hiccups i decided to do it.. and it was worth the money paid.. it was an awesome experience.
Then some Indians tourists started to bugg us so we thought to walk back to Manali.. on the way back Ana(one of the two from spain) was not feeling well and we waited for a passing by vehicle that could atleast give those two a lift.. they got a lift and reached their guest house.. i walked alone to manali and then to vashisht where there was the hot water spring. It was unbearably hot tried to take a bath some how and then took a guesthouse in vashisht itself.. awl of my plans went for a toss.. i thought of staying for just a day or two in Manali but happened to spend my entire vacation in Manali. Didn't go anywhere else. And it was all due to Edu and Ana. We met on all days.. and on the day before my birthday i had dinner with the two and it was all memorable.. i don't know how to write so much.. so better to keep it as memories.. we drank coffee and tea together.. and then used to walk manali together.. i visited their guest house.. there was a water fall near the place where i stayed and it was truely awesome.. i thoroughly enjoyed there.. and will plan a tour with ankit and abhinav to leh and laddhak may be next year.. i bid good bye to manali on my birthday carrying ample memories to cherish..
