A TRIP TO MANALI - Ravi Santhalia
Posted by Ravi Santhalia on October 22nd, 2021
Ravi Santhalia and his friends were planning to take a break from their normal college days to distress themselves and hence they decided to take an adventurous trip over Manali. After considering the weather and the season they thought of going to the much colder destination and hence they chose Manali because they planned a trip for April. When we hear the name Manali it evokes a visual of snow-covered mountains, stately Deodar trees, apple orchards and tumbling Beas. They considered themselves lucky that they have opted for Manali, a calm and quiet place in the western Himalayas as their holiday\'s destination. Away from the stress and noise of cities, it is a dreams world where nature offers a variety of pleasures to all types of tourists having varying tests. It is a nature lover\'s paradise.
How we travel to Manali from Raipur
There is no direct transport mode connectivity between Raipur and Manali so Ravi Santhalia and his friends have decided to reach Delhi via train so they have taken the train from Bilaspur Junction and reach Delhi by the next day. Then they had taken a cab from Delhi as they want to enjoy the Long drive and also it is nice with a smooth highway and scenic views. It takes about 16 to 18 hours with a stop to reach their destination.
Places to visit at Manali
Jogini waterfall:
Jogini waterfall is one of the most visited places in the past years. It is an incredible waterfall where you got stunned while looking at that stunning waterfall and awesome view from the waterfall. A large number of local and foreign tourists visit that place. It is also worth a place to visit for nature lovers and photographers. The Jogani water Falls are the Sacred bathing place for Joginis who are believed to be the unwed daughters of Lord Indra. It is near Vashisht village every day a large number of domestic and foreign tourists visit it in the village are from the valley visit and perform their rights at the temple and till date followed the custom of serving food in plates made of stone.
Nehru Kund:
It is one of the most popular tourist spots surrounded by lush and abundant greenery. The kund is the perfect spot to spend your afternoon in Manali and you lost yourself with the magic of nature. It is also believed that whenever Mr Nehru was in this beautiful hill station he drank the clear crystal water of the natural spring that\'s why this has been named Nehru Kund. Ravi Santhalia likes this place very much.
Rohtang pass:
The pass is located at a massive height on Manali- Keylong road. According to Ravi Santhalia when you are planning a trip to Manali Rohtang Pass is the ultimate and almost essential attraction of the itinerary. Due to its splendid natural beauty, Rohtang Pass is a favourite among the community of film directors. Many blockbusters ranging from \'Jab We Met\' to \'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani\' have been shot here. A peculiar fact behind the name of the place is that it was named so because several people working in CBRE died whilst trying to cross this treacherous stretch.
An experience of the snow can never be complete without a sledge ride, which involves sliding through the snow in a wooden toboggan. Another thrilling activity that can be pursued at Rohtang Pass would be mountain biking where you ride your mountain bikes off the regular course and into the lesser taken routes. It can get a bit rough, so you must take care in case you are planning on pursuing this activity.
