Delhi to Manali and local old Manali cafe crawling!!
Took the trip as team lead for KANJOOS TRAVELLER
Started from Delhi in a Volvo reached Manali, checked IN to our hotel in Old Manali just beside the river!
Whole day for leisure and wat we chose was Cafe crawling!
Started the the day too early from Manali in our high energised Tata Sumo 3.0L. first stop was Marhi for our breakfast. After clicking uncountable photos at Rohtang Pass we said a sweet good bye to mettled road going towards LEH and took the 'RIGHT' Right turn towards Spiti valley. Absolutely no mettled roads doesn't mean it were once covered with McAdams solutions and now their condition are bad NO there were never roads - stones pebbles dust is wat u will witness in the name of road for next 180KMs.(9hours) Took chai break at Chhatru and Lunch at famour CHACHA CHACHI DHABHA in Baatal. Chachi hosted us with half cooked Maggi and A little overcooked Rajma chawal. But she was very generous with me to have a picture with. 🙈 After lunch headed towards the most beautiful site for the day the KUNZUM PASS 😍 ... After Kunzam we are in the Spiti Valley the eyes were mesmerized, the mind went into standstill, everything around was so serene so beautiful so natural so untouched, that city dwellers cannot imagine, only way is to visit and feel it.

The Chandratal Day
After having light breakfast at the homestay started out journey for Chandratal! First stop being picturesque Key Monastery.
Heading higher went to beautiful village of Kibber reached again at a Highest- Bridge in Asia the Chicham bridge. After long photo session there, headed for Chandratal!
Speechless, thoughtless for almost half an hour, everyone from our group grabbed a rock, sat quietly and was thinking nothing I guess!!!
That's the place!!
Again the campsite was awesome, and to add to our fabulous journey we were lucky to gaze the galaxy that day! Yes a clear sky near Chandratal is best for galaxy sightings in Himalayas!! We were blessed!
