The journey to Manali may be a little tedious but nothing extraordinary. We started from home at 4.00 pm from Gurgaon for Vidhan Sabha metro station. Chhavi, my neighbor, her daughter and I were traveling to Manali from Delhi. I usually book tickets on Manali Mail but I could not get any tickets this time….

And we are Off to Camping in Manali
We are off to camping near Manali, Chhavi and I with my neighbor and her daughter. Seshadri is already out trekking with his friends, he is doing a tough trek. My niece Vasu was also supposed to come, but she backed off, saying she is missing her parents! Finally the packing is all done. I…
The Last Working Friday!
Or in other words I quit my job and today is my last working day. It was not entirely planned but when things became such that quitting looked like an option, it looked increasingly attractive. I would walk past this sign without ever noticing it for the past one year. But now that I am…
The Mountains are Calling And I am Going
It is that time of the year when I head out to mountains. Usually I take two weeks off and go trekking. But this year it was not meant to be. I am just taking one week off and I am not trekking. The original plan was to take two weeks off but then I…
Beautiful Blue Skies from Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh
I am missing my mountains. The last time I ventured that way was in June (Nepal) but I got too much rain and clouds. So, when I was rummaging through my old pictures of the blue skies from Jagatsukh appealed to my senses instantly. Jagatsukh is just 6 km away from Manali but it is…
Beautiful Skies from Jagatsukh
For today’s sky watch I once again fall back on the mountains, my first love. My last visit was to Jagatsukh near Manali and I share two pictures from there. Manali is overrun with tourists now but just go away a little from the main town and you will find places like Jagatsukh! I like…
Landscapes from Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh
Walking around in the hills is my favorite past time. And this time in Jagatsukh I walked at least for 8 hours in three sessions. I should actually say I was on the road for 8 hours because for most of the time I would stop and click pictures. I don’t know why the landscapes…
Khakhnal, Himachal Pradesh
I visited a small village in Himachl Pradesh called Khakhnal. It is the next village after Jagatsukh towards Naggar. I love walking and I love walking in the mountains. So one fine evening after a lot of good food at Ramakant ji’s home I decided to go for an evening walk all alone. It was…
Spring Blossoms
This was probably the first time I went to the hills in March. While you can visit the hills in any seasons March brings out the spring blossoms and it is beyond pretty. I have seen a bit of blossoms before but this time they were putting on a regal display! There were two apple…
Flowers for You!
I am very fond of clicking flowers, though recently it does not reflect in my posts. So I am going to correct it. Today I am going to post a bunch of flowers all clicked around Jagatsukh. And I have enough flowers for 2-3 weeks and that is without rummaging my folders! When we took…
