It was the story from my adventure back in the last month when I was in Manali Himachal Pradesh and from the past few days I have been wondering around the corners of northern Himalayas has Woke up to this day a day filled with lots of adventure lot of mystery lot of discovering and lot of exploration. My friends. It was the story from my adventure back in the last month when I was in Manali Himachal Pradesh and from the past few days I have been wondering around the corners of northern Himalayas as just going by found these photographs and just by looking at them. All the memories of my adventure just came back to my mind like a flashback. I thought why not to share my journey about visiting this really very special place that I explored visit it when I was in Manali.

IMG_5312.jpeg It was the journey to the most beautiful place that I have ever seen the grasslands all around The Meadows all around, and the altitude so high that it just rightly feels that we are somewhere between the sky.

I was on my expedition to wondering around the corners and portions around the Rohtang Pass but as my adventures or it's not just about visiting the last location that I have just thought about high usually just see and wonder around and explore as many corners as I could so was this one among them. It was somewhere in the middle of my journey in the middle of my adventure and it was only the point which was the corner where the food was available as the whole place was not even a single house, not even a single corner where you would find any person also yes, it was the land beyond the last villages of Manali which is the Gulaba and Kothi Village that even I visited in the past and have shared the blog post in the past, but it was the corner it was the journey. It was the beginning of me anything to a whole lot of a different sphere.

IMG_5313.jpeg The journey kind of look something just like this I was so amazed to visit this place not specially about this particular portion but about visiting the whole valley. As it was the corners. It was the gateway to the cold Himalayan desert that I have been wondering around nowadays, and it was my friends indeed, I thought it came into my mind.

IMG_5315.jpeg The journey kind of look something just like this I was so amazed to visit this place not specially about this particular portion but about visiting the whole valley. As it was the corners the gateway to the cold Himalayan desert that I have been wondering around nowadays, and it was my friends indeed, I was just a thought that came into my mind and start of my journey as early as 7 AM from Manali. I was just looking for some kind of bus. Also that would just drop me to this place and unfortunately all the tickets for the bus they were just sold. I was kind of getting fear of missing out that why I have not booked the tickets before as only they were very few vehicles that would just end up visiting to this place. As there were these permissions that the government usually provide in order to visit this place somewhere around 500 vehicles per day or so, and then I came across this Force Van had some seats left in, took those seats booked one and finally made my journey all the way to this place.

IMG_5316.jpeg It took us near about 5 to 6 hours. In order to reach this place the road at certain points. It was not quite good enough because it was the monsoon season out here and only it is the time in the year my friends when we could visit this place and usually the most of the time of the year the place is covered with a thick blanket of snow. There are just few months somewhere as far as I remember that the driver told me that we could visit the place after June till late November and rest the roads are blocked or even frozen because of such a high altitude place. We were literally above the tree line where it was the non-tropical zone that led to no vegetation. Only the green grass could grow at such a high altitude place.

IMG_5318.jpeg I literally had no idea about this place that even there were these restaurants or kind of shops and cafes. I would say that the people would call Dhabas in local Language and the driver told me that we are going to stop here for a while about an hour or so and it was somewhere around 11 AM as far as I remember and he told me that we should come back to the same spot where he parked the van at around 1:30 in the afternoon till then we can just wonder around and I thought why not to explore this beautiful place and capture the beauty of it. It was the spot that just came all the way somewhere in the middle between the ancient and route to the Rohtang Pass of Manali between the Manali Leh highway, and it was a spot where there were these Dhabas and I was so amazed to see that few of them even more than 70 years old at the same spot, though they were just renovated because in order to withstand the harsh climatic conditions, but still the business which was still running on I was so amazed to see generations and generations they were just on over here.

IMG_5317.jpeg The first thing that I noticed I just went on the other side of the crowd as I found out why not you just see what is just right next to the place and it was a Tibetan temple. Where there were these tibetan flags all around and the stairs that led to the temple and the Stupa right next to it. And then I thought let's just go and explore the place. Explore the Dhabas and just test around, the cuisine says even kind of I was feeling stopping feeling a sort of a hunger because had a breakfast quite early this morning.

IMG_5336.jpeg And then I came across this Dhaba that had this board stating the best since 1958 and I was just so much to see my friends that every thing was available in this restaurant or cafe, I would say freshly prepared cuisines I was so amazed to see that even such an high altitude place these people just kept the business going. They believed in the true humanity. I would say yes every thing over here. It was at reasonable price even Such an Harsh life that would just be at this place during the evening time even in the summer season when the temperature just dips to minus these people just believed on providing the fresh food to the needy one as the person who is starving in the mountains who just needs to get something to eat for some energy and that was what their ancient ancestors believed when they started the business back in the ancient times, and still this people, they believe my friends in the mountains, keeping the good work going on.

IMG_5319.jpeg Unfortunately, I was not able to purchase any meal or so at the place because I had carried my own lunch along with me as I was not aware of that whether we would get any food at such a place or not so I carried my own Panatha along with the local Fern Pickle and I asked the people of the Dhaba that can I sit here and eat and there was just so friendly so good to me that they said yes please you can sit and even offered me a plate where I could eat my food so I ordered 2 cups of tea, and it was really whole lot of humanity that I saw when I was at the place.

IMG_5320.jpeg There even were these few of the paraglider is just flying nearby that I saw when I was at the place, followed by the glacier that was just all covered with thick cover of clouds just right behind.

Exploring the surroundings nearby.

IMG_5324.jpeg Spend some time wonder around had lunch and now it was time. I thought why not explore the nearby so I went back to the Tibetan temple which was on the other side as the dhabas were on the other side.

IMG_5321.jpeg It was even really a whole lot of a peaceful moment by just looking at the Tibetan flags. Just getting in a full vibe along with the wind. That was just blowing and guys you won't believe. I was just looking at them from minutes and minutes and really enjoying and thinking about that how beautiful the nature is.

IMG_5322.jpeg Captured as many photographs as I could of this moment, and still my friends whenever I see these photographs, the whole memory just flashbacks into my mind, I could see the blue sky, the sun, the clouds and I could literally see the clouds forming up in the sky, it was just really a whole lot of a peaceful moment that I had on when I was at the place.

IMG_5323.jpeg And now it was the time to just be on the other side of the place so I just took a short walk and just had a thought about why not to just go a bit further and see and explore the beautiful surroundings nearby. It was somewhere around 12:40 PM as far as I remember and I still had few minutes to just explore the place nearby as the bus would leave after 1:30..

The Ancient houses.

IMG_5325.jpeg Then I came across few of the ancient houses that was just built in the ancient way that the himalayan houses are built with the rock wood and the roof. It was built of the tin I'm right behind was a sort of a glacier, which was now all dry and there even were few of the Cattles just gazing around.

IMG_5330.jpeg Decided to go a bit more further and down. I saw that just right behind, there was lush green meadow and I could not resist so I found the way and made my journey all the way to the beautiful Meadows which was just somewhere quite a few minutes away...

IMG_5331.jpeg It took me near around 10 minutes or so my friends when I reached at this beautiful corner and just right beyond I could see that there was another lush green meadow. I thought why not just go closer and capture the beauty and just be a part of nature for a while and it was really a whole lot of beautiful moment. My friends I was somewhere in the middle of nowhere that I was not sure about that where I was from here the dhabas were near about 15 minutes Away.

IMG_5327.jpeg Finally ended up to this beautiful corner and just in order to reach at the corner. Most point it would take me near about 15 minutes more as it was quite vast space and yes I would start my journey just being on the other side or the corner. It will take quite a lot of time. My friends as there was no point to just think about that how far the distance would be. It would be like getting close to the mountain and the mountain is getting far and far away and this is the phenomena that I have experienced quite a lot of time in the Himalaya so instead I thought to just sit here for a while. Relax and imagine and just wonder around this beautiful place and just think about and look around the surroundings nearby and really enjoy the nature and its moment.

IMG_5328.jpeg I finally spend near about 30 minutes more. When it was finally time to go back. It was really a beautiful moment. My friends that I wanted to share it with you guys through this post the clouds, the sky, the landscapes, the cattle, gazing it was just all in just a single frame. It was really a whole lot of a different experience.
