Manali part III

Good Afternoon All!!!

Yes, This is a tough time for all of us. We have to stay strong. We can't lose hope. We have to be optimistic about this situation. It’s true that we need to take this virus seriously. It’s capable of causing severe illness, death, and drastic long-term changes to how we live and work. It could even cripple the economy. But we needed to focus on the positive so that you have the energy and resolve needed to weather this storm. 
Together, we’ll get through this.

Here I am sharing details of our 3rd day at Manali. Because of the rain, we couldn't go to Paragliding. But then we decided to go to the River rafting, which wasn't our plan.   But it was a fabulous experience in chilling cold weather and river too. 

White Water Rafting On Beas River

The rafting experience in Manali on the unsettling waters of Beas river is an advanced adrenaline rush. The navigation in the white waters of the river goes on for a 7 kilometers stretch. The mountains and undisturbed green enhance the experience of your adventure. The climatic conditions and other facts considered making Summer(May-June) the best season for river rafting. This is one adventure sport for our lifetime. It was too chilled, but still, we enjoyed the splash of chilling water while rafting. 

After the river rafting, our driver suggested to Vist temple nearby. 
Vaishno Devi Temple
Vaishno Devi temple in Kullu is situated on the banks of Beas River and is 2 km from the beautiful town of Kullu, right on the way to Manali. Vaishno Devi Temple has turned into one of the most sought after religious places in Kullu. All temples here are multi-storied, and Lord Shiva temple is well placed between the Mountain. The main temple that appears like a cave is beautifully carved inside with life facility. But visitors are required to crawl inside it. To add to the delight of the pilgrims, the premises of this significant temple also houses a Lord Shiva temple. As a part of the temple’s service, the trust of the pilgrim center runs a ‘Laanger’ and ‘Saraye’ service which provides a free vegetarian meal and night stay to the worshippers. The River Beas flowing by the side of the Vaishno Devi temple is an added attraction.

After that, we went to Naggar Castle

The Naggar Castle is a famous castle located in Naggar. Naggar Castle is a magnificent historical structure. The castle was built by Raja Sidhi Singh in 1460 AD in an impressive combination of European and Himalayan architecture. The castle has a traditional architecture called Kathkooni, which uses a combination of stones and wooden beams.
In the year 1978, the castle was converted into a rest house and more recently into a heritage hotel that is run by Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC). The Naggar Castle has been recently renovated while keeping its heritage structure intact.

Last day at Manali we visited Manali Mall road. We Did  bit of shopping. 

And there we said goodbye to mighty Manali with a bunch of memories.
