Away from people, away
from noise, I long to travel to a place where I can hear the sounds of Nature
and stay close to Nature. Guess why? No...not to get rid of any kind of work
pressure or depression or stress. I stay at Mumbai and all I get to see after stepping
out of my home is – people, vehicles and buildings! And this sight is certainly not very amusing all through the year. Phew...
But above all, I have
always been in love with the Himalayas. So every year, I need a break or two to see,
feel and touch the mighty mountains. Sigh!
This time we (Sid and I) decided
to take the road less taken to reach Manali.
Naggar, around 20 kms
before Manali, is a laid back quiet village tucked beautifully in the snow-capped
peaks of the Himalayas and lush green flora. I would undoubtedly say that it’s
the best region of the Kullu valley.
Enjoy
the pictures.

We went inside Naggar Castle (an architectural masterpiece built by the Sikh kings of Kullu valley) to gaze at the spectacular view of Naggar village from the roof top restaurant (pic below) of the Castle. It was late afternoon, cold, and what could be better than being served with garam garam chai and coffee by the locals.
Folks, travel the planet Earth before you die. There’s lot to see, worth an experience! Isn't it?
Much love
