Day 1

A city tour in Delhi. Took a room for a day to keep our luggage. We were 12 in number... And we roamed around in the city on rented can. The food from Karim's was so delicious but a little costly.

The Landmark for Delhi

Day 3

Kasol...the land of ultimate serenity. Though we wanted to start early for Kasol...we all slept off. We couldn't make it to Kasol that day...so we took a detour to Malana village. On mid way of the trek it started to snow and by the time we reached the village it was covered with snow and we couldn't trek back a it was evening already. So we stayed in Malana but it was around -5°C that night and we struggled a lot to cope up. We stayed at a home stay there. It was quite good. We parked our bikes at the entrance to the trek at shop there at cost of ₹100 per bike and the sty and food cost around ₹400per head. The next day morning it was stil snowing and we had to trek back before it got worse. So we started our trek back with few dogs as our guides. We then rode to Kasol from where we had lunch and spent some leisure time there. The same day we returned to Manali. After a little shopping we boarded bus to Shimla
