Thanks Ravvs, when i set my mind on something, i do that irrespective of repercussions
I agree with you TBHPian are the best and fastest source that you can rely. IMO, sometimes they are faster than a google search..LOL
Also for travel related and hotel booking related info, BCMtouring.com is a great source ( Do check it out)
There is a major change to my plan. My dream of driving to Himachal will remain a dream until some more time as my cousin drop out of the plan as he has important official travel during the same period which he cannot skip.
I would have loved to go ahead in my car but now the equation didnt look so good with me spending 4-5 days just on the road which i rather spend in the beautiful locales of Himachal.
So i took an instant decision yesterday :-
Dec 19th : Booked a 9:00AM flight to Delhi
Dec 20th : Booked a Cab ( Indica/Swift D) and will leave at 8:00AM and reach Shimla by 4:00pm
Dec 21th, Dec 22nd, Dec 23rd : Shimla, Kufri, Naldhera
Tanveer, can you suggest any other place to visit near by to Shimla during these 3 days in Shimla?
Dec 24th : Vacate Shimla and head to Narkhanda and spend the night in Hotel Hatu
Dec 25th: Vacate Narkhanda and head towards Tirthan Valley. Here i am stuck, unable to find a hotel till now
Dec 26th: Leave Tirthan Valley and reach Manali.
Dec 27th, Dec 28th, Dec 29th : Visit Rohtang Pass, Solang Valley
Apart from this, is there any other good places to visit from Manali?
Dec 30th: Leave Manali in the morning and reach Delhi late in the night
Plan to visit Amritsar/Haridwar if possible before catching an early morning flight back to Hyderabad on Jan 4th
My hotel bookings in Shimla, Manali and Narkhanda is confirmed.
Though i am disheartened that my original plan has not materialized but i am happy that atleast i will get to put up my feet and absorb the beauty of Himachal during this much deserved vacation.
Thanks to everyone who contributed on this thread. It'll help if someone can point me to a hotel in tirthan valley as that is the only missing link.
