Its been really rough last few years. And, specially not bound to any job gave me reasons to go anywhere, far from everyone. I really wanted to relax, meditate in valley, in silence.

How

I wanted to somewhere else initially. But, could not go as per my wish. Which enhanced my restless-ness from inside. I really want to go out. AI being my friend, suggested Tosh, near Kasol. And, upon discussion, Manali was chosen.

I planned 7 days trip to Manali, living as student, rented hostel bed, in shared dormitory setup. Which will save money as well as, give a chance to meet new people.

Then, the original plan was to goto Kasol as well, for another 7 days. But, its still under processing.

Why

I needed a detox, fresh air. I wanted to breathe.

Start

And, here I started from HRTC bus from Delhi.

It was a long journey, from 9 PM to 10 AM next day. It was a volvo bus, not sleeper. But surprisingly, seat was so good that I didnt feel tired. Although, I could not sleep well. Still, decent. Given, 13 hour journey, with few breaks in between, giving breath to my bum. I was using my newly bought wired earphone well.

Bus did stop in between, I took few pictures.

In early morning, I took tea near Mandi.

How did this story make you feel?
