For my honeymoon i went to Manali. My husband drove all the way from Brahamali, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh (my home and where the wedding took place) to Manali. Initial I was apprehensive about my husband driving in hilly area. But with in an hour I was delighted that we have don't have a driver with us. However, I kept wishing that I could drive too.

Well, anyway it was fun. Our first halt was at Riwalsar, a picturesque place. We visited some very old monasteries there and fed the fishes. Then we stopped for a short time at Mandi and finally spend the night at Kullu.

The road from kullu to Manali is wonderful. It’s very beautiful. You have a river, I think, brahamputra, on one side and a beautiful mammoth mountain on the other. At some points the road is at the level of river. We passed many forests and apple and plum and pear orchids on the way.

We stayed at Club Mahindra situated at the far end of the Manali market at a secluded and beautiful place. It even has apple orchids on either side of the building.

We roamed around in Manali and went to Rohtang Pass. The Taxi cab driver told us, on the way, that a lot of movies shooting take place on this road (Manali- Rohtang). And I am very sure he was telling the truth, when you see the road you will also vouch for it.

Finally we drove back to Brahamali, Bilaspur picked my mom and came back to our dear Delhi.
