This is the story of the trek Tania and I did in one day in Manali. We set off at 7am and came back 12 hours later, tired, dehydrated, out of food and water (we had to resort to drinking from waterfalls!) but it was so worth it!! The photos start at the bottom and finish at the top!
And finally - making it down to base level where at least there were animals grazing! We managed to walk about 2 hours back to Manali along a cattle path!
And we walked for another few hours along the side of the peak of mountain - we ended up having to climb down this as it was late afternoon, and we were 3 hours away from Manali, believe me scrambling down 1000ft waterfall is not fun, and it's scary at best!
Ok so when we got to the top, it wasn't quite the top - we still had more climbing to do and managed to climb this vertical wall of rock with no equipment - yikes!
Tania and I, glad to be getting near the top!
If you can see an edge jutting out at the top in the center - that was the one I was sitting on looking down! Photo taken from path a small drop down mountain side.
Sitting on a ledge near the top of mountain - it's a long way down! You still can't even see half way down the mountain!
Close up of Mountains - really shanti
