The utopian hillocks of Shivalik hills
Away from the cacophony of the daily humdrum, escape to the tranquil heights for a week, through the chaotic capital of India, New Delhi. Treat you to a smooth Volvo ride from the urban doldrums of Delhi to the utopian hillocks of Manali. Break your dawn with the panoramic view of Dhauladhar, the very range, where the mighty Himalayas started erecting about 10 million years ago – over the vanquished Tethys. Cast a thousand years look at the snow cladded Pir Panjal Range, where the India’s longest and Asia’s third longest railway tunnel is situated at the treacherous height of 2,100-mts, to feel the beyond-the-realm horizon of the great Asiatic mountain range and then, venture into the mountain adventures to prop your day ahead. Scale the alleys of the Manali’s old town to languidly spend the day in the hippy villages.
The hamlet, nestled at an altitude of 2,050-mts. by the Valley of River Beas, with its versatile traits, beckons you for absolute engagement in nature, adventure and simply spending good times. Trekking, paragliding, rafting and skiing are some of the mountain adventures that will hike the adrenaline rush in you. Coupled with an all-inclusive sightseeing, the package is built to entice you in the seven days trip to the summer capital of the then British India. Follow the mountain trails up to Shimla, a 12-Kms ridge that will offer you the blend of a holiday resort and hill station. Have a lavish time in the vacationers’ potpourri of the famous mall of Shimla. Relax in the ebb and flow of the lower bazaar in the hue of local life and the shops selling hardware, stationery, fabric and spices. While you take a stroll, back to the hotel to make your headway for the same old busy life; don’t forget to lay your hands on the retro looking hand-painted signs, in the local market.
