Story of my First Trip!
My very dear friend whom I know since 2011 ,
as we did our high school together is now running a property named as DumDumcafe and Guest- house in this magical place called Pulga, a small village in Parvati Valley.
To those who are not aware of this Valley, it is valley in Kullu distt. in Himachal .
And that present day she was in Chandigarh for some work ...
I was in Chandigarh too and I had my exams getting started in other two days...
It was raining and on the other side she had been making me wonder  about how fun it will be to be in Pulga , I was curious to see that place too and by the time she had to leave back to that magicland I was all convinced and ready to go to that place on one condition that she ll let me come back next day!
We started our journey early morning  around 4Am , and she was so high and extremely happy as I were sitting next to her in car..
She was pinching herself and me to check if it's true and we both were tripping, laughing ,listening  music and enjoying cool breezes on our face...
After  two hours of drive we took a tea break , took a few selfiesss and started again.. 

Our first pic of this trip ????

It was around 11Am that reached Pulga... 
We trekked for 40 minutes and reached village... My heart was in awe by the beauty & the vibe of that place also the weather changed every other hour..It's unpredictable.

We bummed and chilled  before we dozed off for sometime...
It was late in the evening when I woke up and sky was all lit with stars , as I went to cafe, it was all glowing with beautiful neon paintings and there were few people sitting there , they asked me to join them too and we all had a good night ..

Day 2

We three musketeers with our ferocious & lovely dog Afro woke up early and got ready to mark the trail..
