My name is srikanth and I am 24years old. 1year back I traveled to Manali, hiamachlapradesh, India. That trip was one of the best trips of my travel life. I went with my two friends. We planned for tree days but I spent half of the mounth in Manali. What a awesome place it was❤️. I meet some of the local people and stayed at there resort. The local person I meet was one of the femose dj in that area. I have just lost my self in the wilderness and that experience was awesome. That trip gave me some of the memories which I never forget. One of them was Para gilding. One of the best out Dore activitie I did. Even rafting was fun. Every day I woke up and just started visiting torrist spots and at nights I used to go for long walk alone in the woods. Food is the second reason of my traveling. I love food and half of my taval time is spent on eating local food. I love to eat and learn about the different coltures, traditions of the people and place. I have a story to tell in this trip. We went to a bar to celebrate my friends birthday party. We had some drinks and we started going to a resort. There are 20 people in total and I only know two of my frnds with whom I came to the trip 😂 so we all were walking together for some time and I and this German dude got kind of late and missed the way 😂and I have no idea where to go. This is 3am in the morning and we are middle of nowhere. My phone is dead and we can't Call our friends to ask the way to the resort which we planned to go and stay there for the rest of the night. So we sat down and started talking about random this where he told about his country and how he became a traveler. Then I talked about my country and culture. We talked almost for one and half hour and then we started walking bit more and we saw some people sitting far away from us have a campfire. We soughted loudly. They heard us and then one of them came and showed us the way. We have no idea what would we had done if we didn't found them.. One more story I would like to share. The same German dude 😹 with whom I got lost the way in my first story went to a festival two days before we came and he lost his hand bag in which he have his passport, cloths.,atm card, phone etc. He told he can't find it anyware in the party and now he can't go back to his country coz he lost his passport. He told he wl re apply for passport later. Lot more story's I would love to share but the list gose on. I have traveled almost all of India. Only some states are there which I still have to explore. But until now Manali was the best trip of my travel life. I would love to visit that place again soon. The wilderness and the cold weather is awesome.. Camping in the woods and especially Manali is femouse for there trippy festivals where you can get lost for three days and more without even realizing as I Did. This winter I am going to visit hemachal pradesh again. I miss everything about that place. The tea, mountains, valleys, forests whatnot everything. Before travalling I was not that spiritual but now I am kind of spiritual in my own ways. That is one of the happiest places I have ever been to. I got this awesome opportunity to meet different people from all over the world and to know about there culture, tradition and stories of them. I haven't traveled for 5mounts now and I can wait to travel. I will highly recommend Manali, hiamachlapradesh, INDIA to all the travelers who did not explored the north side of India. So, this is one of my travel story and I hope you guys like it.
