Hello, all. After leaving Shimla we decided we wanted more mountain action, so took a bus for a whopping 10 hours to Manali. Manali was amazing, if a little cold - snow capped mountains everywhere we looked. A few days in we took a bus to the Rohtang Pass, 4065m high, where we admired the glacial scenery and played in the snow - absolute bliss!

Overall we spent a week in Manali, exploring the local scenery, crossing glacial rivers, watching the leaves turn colour and eating French Onion soup with brown bread (a real rareity in India). In the evenings we ate yet more food and watched movies whilst wearing all our clothes.

We will definitely have to come back in the future and do some trekking, the mountains make you feel so tiny, it's awesome!
