The never ending drive to Manali was amazing. The chilled wind that I felt on face gave me the feeling of my hometown(Shillong). I never wanted the road to cease, the scenery was just so overwhelming. Halfway to Manali we took rest in a lodge but I could not wait until the next morning to begin my journey again, so I did not sleep. Next day we left early morning and the weather was awesome, bright sunlight and chilly wind. On the way, we got down to a river and enjoyed the glacial water, the hills, the cool air. On such a wonderful journey, when you have just the right person by your side, the journey becomes perfect. The icy-cold nights were bewildering. The people were lovely, they showed great hospitality. Their traditional costumes were beautiful. Solang valley was brethtaking, skiing and cable cars. It was an incredible experience.
