My trip to Malana
Engineering was something which I never wanted to do but still I got caught. The sessionals were going on and my score was zero in last two papers. I did’nt wanted to score a hat-trick so I planned to boycott my examination, I needed a break and wanted to go somewhere, where I can be alone, no mobile signal just the calmness and peace offered by the nature so I started planning a trip but this time I wanted to choose some raw destination. Malana was something, about which I have been hearing since 2 years so I thought why not visit this place. Me and my friend started our journey from the place named Sundernagar on 350cc Royal enfield leaving our college and studies behind. The panorama and the beauty of mountains along the road was amazing and cannot be delineated in words, After a few hours journey we reached Jari.
- Jari is a small roadside village in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It lies at a distance of 25km from Bhuntar and 9km away from Manikaran You can stop here for some refreshment and then continue your journey
As the first ray of sunlight came inside the room through the green tinted glasses over the majestic snow capped mountains I dragged myself to the corner of bed pulling down the curtains to enjoy the calmness and peace of the place. When the scenery around is so beautiful and there is so much silence around you then how can you allow someone may it be sun to ruin your sleep. But my friend did that, Opening the bottles again my friend and one more guy, I don’t know who he was but my friend was in full Trip. They had been smoking hashish and drinking whiskey all night and now they started it all again. This was something which continued for around 3 days and this was our weekend trip. Malana is titled in the world for having the best hashish then how come we do something else in this place.
