Manali Madness

To get away from the heat in May, we headed up to Manali, a hill station up in the Himalayas, about a 14 hour (memorable) bus journey north of Delhi.

Hidden trail

After the heat and dust of a record summer, the cool mountain forests and meadows were another of India’s amazing contrasts.

Trampoline

Manali is more or less an Indian resort – mostly national tourism – and seems to have made a name for itself in the action sports department. Trampolining…

Abseiling

…abseiling, climbing…

Climbing

…getting wet…

Canoing

…rolling down hills in plastic balls…

In the zorb

…and bouncing across raging glacial torrents.

Crossing a torrent

Adrenaline junkies though they may appear, however, nothing prepared us for the drive up to Rhotang Pass the next day… of which more to come.
