Chintu Travels Day 2.
Manali Chill.
Manali Chill.
Last night was fun, I won twice at UNO, one more then everyone else, and then followed a friends Marathon on comedy central.
Yup, I have been relaxing, it's been a long time since I had a full 8 hour sleep with no interruptions. The 8 hours being a complete blackout. How do you get these on a regular basis?
Apparently I have been taking a long route to Mall road all this while, Shivam told me about a shortcut, a steep downhill walk from the foresty villages. I took his advice and followed the directions and got lost.
People are too friendly in the villages, yesterday too someone came a long way out of his path to make things easy for me and today too a Nepali guy who has been living here since 2002 helped me with the route.
On a difficult stretch I asked him "Isko kaise cross karenge? ( How do I cross this? )", and he just said "Aaram se ( a pun on with ease and with patience ) "
It was afternoon and I hadn't had anything to eat and with growling sounds from my stomach, I stopped at this small cafe at Manu Market ( Read more on a earlier post about this).
And after that it's just been walking randomly across Manali with a 2 hour stretch of sitting beside the Beas River with the back noise of Manali traffic ( It's bad! You can get stuck for hours!), followed by a long walk across the Nature Park back to the hostel amdist mild drizzle and tall Oak, Yew, and Pine trees.
I write this with hungry alarm from the stomach and a view of the twinkling hotels in Manali.
I still haven't planned where I'd go next, or when.
In Picture, Grand Villages Huts on the short cut to Mall Road from the hostel.
