Manali is a beautiful place where the mountains are capped with Snow.It is located in Himachal Pradesh. The river flows in the middle of the city, we saw many tourist, locals having a good time playing on the river side. Manali is a good tourist spot, there are more Bike Rent shop than hotels.
I loved to interact with locals to know more about them. I was informed that the peak revenue time for them was from March to August, so they have to earn as much as possible later due to the snow fall there will not be any business.
We woke up at 7am, it was wonderful feeling to see the beautiful mountains. Morning Tea, breakfast were at the same place. Since we were 14 members', it required some time for all of us to get ready and to get started.
The breakfast was Alo Paratha, Pickle, Curd, Cheese :).
At 11am, we met Varun who was in-charge of Vehicle which we were about to rent. We had rented 1 Bolero, 2 - 500CC Royal Enfield, 5 - 350CC Royal Enfield and 1 - 350CC Thunderbird.
I took 350CC Royal Enfield Electra model. From our team, formation was Rajesh S and Shamgha/Yogesh - 350CC Classic, Rajesh R and Rakesh - 350CC Electra , Nirmal and Prashanth - 350CC Electra. The 500CC bikes were ordered by Charan's team.
We were riding for the 13 days ie from June 7 till June 19. The cost per bike was
350CC : 1300rs/day
500CC : 1600rs/day
Bolera : 4300rs/day
This had a huge impact on our trip budget but the Bike ride was planned. Bolero was rented so that we can keep our luggage,tent and stuffs also if any person falls sick he can make use of Bolero.
We were set for the test ride to get comfortable with the bike and also to mentioned if there is any issue with bike to Varun. We visited Solang Valley which was about 15km from stay. We did not spend much time in Solang valley and returned back to do more of shopping as suggested by Varun for the adventures trip.
We reached back to the stay around 3:30pm where we had lunch after which we started to ride.Around 5pm, we packed everything in Bolero and were set to go out in Bike.
First destination from Manali was Mandi, which was 110km far. The road was good, but it was with twist and no boundaries ie.. if you fall you go up straight. Risky road but was fun. We had to make journey in the dark as we had left late for Mandi.
The planned destination was Dharamshala, which was 100km far from Mandi. We did not go there as it would be very late.
We reached Mandi around 10:30pm, got accommodation and good food and had a good sleep.
Day2 Completed.
Next : Leh 4
