Pictures

Here are some pictures taken in Manali earlier this year. I never got around to posting any of them, I thought I should put them up before the year ends.

Manali is a beautiful place, one which I wouldn't mind visiting again. Located in Himachal Pradesh, it took us around 16 hours from Delhi by bus. The route took a scenic turn once we neared Manali. I couldn't go back to sleep and started taking pictures from the bus, they turned out pretty decent.

We wanted to be a little adventurous, and we tried paragliding. They have a valley for it, I've forgotten what it was called. It had a beautiful backdrop of the Himalaya though. Paragliding was a heady experience. I have a fear of heights; and once I was up in the air, I really, really regretted trying something which involved being several hundred feet above the ground. And the close up pictures of me showed how scared I was, so I am not putting those up. H seemed to enjoy his ride though.

We also visited Zero point, which is at the foot of Rohtang Pass, they hadn't opened the pass yet even though it was May, because of heavy snowfall. It was my first time seeing snow, and it was yet another nice experience.

This pic was taken in one of their many parks. Aizawl should have just one of their parks.


Taken on the bus trip back to Delhi. The river Beas. People go white rafting here, they camp along the river bank, eat grilled meat etc and have loads of fun. But we didn't really have that much time or the inclination, so we missed that oportunity.

And here is our home, sweet home. The sitting room is obviously the most decorated room in the house.

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
