Manali - Himachal Pradesh

We reached Manali after Whitewater rafting at Phirdi on 14th May. Got the bike (Red Enfield Electra, 350cc).

On 15th May, went towards Solang Valley, and then Rohtang Pass (which was not open yet due to Snow). We rode the bike till Martha ~12k ft high on the way.

On 16th left towards Banjar - Jibhi, through Naggaru road. The ride was fun. Went upto a village called Ghiyagi (10kms from Banjar, and 10kms before Jalori Pass). Stayed in a small wooden cottage.

On 17th, Went upto Jalori Pass, from where we did a small trek of 6kms (one-way) to a lake (and a temple near by). Jalori Pass is at a hight of 10k ft. The trek was in forest and for miles of radius we didn't had any human population. It was a nice trek. We had food in Jalori pass and left towards Manali. Visited Hadimba temple in Manali.
Stayed in Manali that night.
