Manali day 4 (1/12/08)

We woke up early, completed the packing and  took breakfast and started for Manikaran. The roads are uneventful. Manikaran is a beautiful place. There is a Shiva temple and a Gurudwara side by side and a hot spring in front with steam coming out of it. The place is surrounded by hills on all side. A true feast to the eyes.

Then we left for Simla. It was a long boring journey. It took almost 7 hours. On the way our driver got involved in a fight with a motorcycle driver.

After a long search we found out our hotel Quality Inn Himdev which lacked quality. There was no carpet in the floor, no bathtub in the bathroom, room heater is substandard, room service is terrible. This is one rare hotel which doesnot give you welcome juice.

003 Ridig the yaks is a novel experience.

025 At monikaran ther is a hot spring with steam coming out of it.
