And i was Like 'Never say no to Mountains' - i am always in
Arrival at Chamba :
I started my Journey from Chandigarh to Chamba in Hrtc bus the most adventerous way to explore the mountains.
the bus Route was :
Chandigarh - Una - Pathankot - Banikhet - Chamba
It's a journey of around 10hrs Covering all the mountains, Serpentine & twisting Roads for more than hours giving a feel that it can fall of the edge at any moment.
By the evening 7pm i was finally in the town Situated on the banks of Ravi river and my friend was here to Recieve me.
We went to his house which is near Chamba chaugan, Settled down Packed our backpacks had a dinner and went Out for some healthy walk through Chaugan.
