Ravishing Rohtang


SNOW... Who doesn't like the idea of playing and running around in snow? Somewhere watching various movies where the actors ran around and enjoyed in snow and photographs surfacing on the social networks, we gradually started to like the idea of playing in snow. So much so that we day dream that of running behind that one crush which never even looked at us or throwing snow balls at our friends. India being the hot country, we not always get a chance to experience the magic of snowfall everywhere. However we have been gifted the place called Rohtang Pass which lets us fulfill our wishes!



Rohtang Pass is situated in Himalaya which is around 51 kms from Manali. It is situated in between of  Kullu Valley and Spiti Valley. The way to Rohtang from Manali offers various breath taking views making you fall for its beauty. The Nature shows exactly how beautifully the mountains are carved and a covering of crystal clear snow to increase its wonder. The Road is filled with many turns and twists but the greenery of the valleys makes us forget the pain of many turns.

The Road till the checking point is always crowded with vehicles and takes almost 2-3 hours to reach from Manali Mall Road. However then it doesn't take much of the time to reach the Rohtang Pass. Just one hour journey approximately and you reach the destination.

There is a special Permit required to visit Rohtang Pass which is obtained via the internet one day prior to the journey. The Rates of the vehicles are as follows:

  • Taxi : 6500-7000Rs (4 Seater)
  • Sharing Mini Bus- 1000 Per Person
  • Private Vehicle - 4000 Per Person (4 Seater)
  • Motor Cycle (Royal Enfield) - 1500-1800 
There are Warm clothes available on rent in various shops on the way to Rohtang Pass. One will require the warm clothes as the temperature falls to minus in the region. 
Adventure sports are not conducted in the area due to some internal disputes. So don't expect any skiing in Rohtang.


Try the Channa Masala in Rohtang as it gives an essence of the taste of Himachal. Also there are vaious dhabbas on the way to Rohtang. So food is not the issue there.

Why wait? Go get some chills!

Verdant Visapur Fort

So as monsoon has started in mumbai and pune, there is no other time which is best for trekking. Mid of June  marks the start of rains and greenery which is much pleasing to the soul as well as eyes. The huge mountains, cool breeze and enchanting waterfalls are literally the gems of nature which makes us realise what actually is heaven on Earth! To add cherry on the cake is the strong and marvellous forts which makes us realise the greatness and valour of the heroes of the past. One such fort is the Visapur Fort which is located in lonavala. Although fallen due to the nature's   wrath, it still echoes the story of the past. The trek is moderate with muddy roads and as well as a path made up of huge stones. This trek will give you an experience like no other. Walking through dense forests and climbing through huge stonewallings makes the trek more the adventurous. Once you reach lonavala you can get the local train and get on the very next station that is Malavli....

Bracing Bhandardara - A camp under the stars!

The idea of Camping under the stars itself is so enchanting that one will just be daydreaming the moment they hear it out. Camping is like a teacher itself which teaches us newer and newer experiences while we set out to discover nature. Sleeping inside the tent and sitting besides a bonfire under a night full of stars will be enough to make anyone awed. The Nature is so abundant that one might exhaust learning from it but it won't be exhausted teaching about things.
