MY FAVOURITE DESTINATION

                           MY FAVOURITE DESTINATION

Manali is my favourite destinations from all the places I have visited so far. I went to Manali with my cousins in 2009 during the winters. We chose to go there in the winters because I wanted to see snowfall desperately. I was very excited while planning the holiday, in the hope to see snowfall while holidaying in Manali. And this was so important for me, because I had never seen snow ever before.

We reached kullu around 9am and from the airport we hired a taxi for Manali and reached Manali in an hrs time. There was no snowfall when we reached Manali and I kept asking the driver if there was a possibility of snow in the next couple of days. He said, there might be and all I could do was hope for it to snow. We chose to stay at victory palace because it had great views of the mountains. The hotel served both non-vegetarian and vegetarian food,and the food was really good.

After checking into the hotel and freshening up we took a walk to the nearby river. The water was extremely cold but we just sat by the river and enjoyed watching the river flow and the mountains that surrounded us. we even tried the river crossing sport and we had fun. After that we just hang out at the mall road(the local market) and headed back to the hotel.

The next morning at around 5 a.m,we headed to Solang Valley.The horse ride took us 30 minutes to reach Solang Valley. By the time we reached Solang Valley, we were freezing to death and felt we couldn’t move and we needed heat desperately. Luckily there was a tree house with a fire lit in it. We went there and warmed ourselves till we felt normal again. We got out and played in the snow for a while and when we started to feel cold again, we decided to head back to the hotel.

The next day we went sightseeing and visited several temples and the hot water springs .but one of the main temple was hadimba temple.We then went to some more tourist destinations and went back to the hotel.All in all, the trip was amazing and I will cherish the memories for a lifetime.
