Way to Manali:
It is a long way from Shimla to Manali almost 280 KM. There are three routes to complete this journey
1. Via NH88 which is 280 KM
2. Via NH 88 and NH21 which is near about 150 KM and
3. Via NH 22 and SH11 which is about 250 KM.
As construction work was underway we choose 1st option. The route would pass through places like Mandi, Bilaspur & Kulu. It would be a long day so we took sufficient water and dry food with us. The car slowly drove out of Shimla and we were on NH88.
The road was as much beautiful as we expected. We passed under the shadows of many hills. At each road turn nature used to surprise us. At one side of the road there were high hills while the other side moved way down which was full of tall deodars, pines etc.
At one such road turn we found a small temple on beside the road. The place was so beautiful that we could not resist us from stopping there.
Way to Manali
After spending couple of minutes under the shade we started again.There were only Hills. Sometime small rivers used to accompany us. At noon we reached Sunder Nagar a small town in Mandi. We stopped at a road side restaurant and had our lunch with Dal Makhani, Salad and Chapati. We had light lunch as heavy food could cause motion sickness in the sharp turns of the mountains.
Post lunch we started again. The wind was chilled and when i felt asleep i did not know. Sometime later when i woke up i found a river going side by side.
We drove on ..on...and...on......
