Re: hi : is their anyone from himachal.

Hi Pragathi,

I am not from H.P, but I went for trekking to Kulu/Manali/Solang/Rohtang Pass when I was in high school through NCC. My base camp was in Patli Kuhl along the banks of Beas river. Those memories are still very fresh in my mind and that was the first time I saw snow. I remember those apple trees along the Beas river and the pretty rose bushes and the extremely softspoken nature of the natives there.

Which part of H.P are you from? I would love to know more about H.P.

Regards
Vidya

Hi Pragathi,

I would love to visit Himachal again. You are right, you should go there with someone special. I was too young to realize that then ;-). I have seen the snow covered peaks in the US, but none of them match the beauty of our Himalayas, what do you say? It is Dev Bhoomi as you rightly put. I missed seeing Beas Kund, I heard it is a holy place, that is where Sage Ved Vyasa did his penance. I have heard of Manikaran Gurudwara. I love the colorful Kulu cap. Have you been to Dalhousie? I would also like to visit Dharamshala.

My great grandfather worked in Shimla in the 1930's and 40s and my grandmother and her sisters grew up in Shimla. She would tell us stories about how they would be soo excited to see snow in winter.

Do tell us more about Himachal. Is there any secret recipe to making that delicious apple juice?

Regards
Vidya

dear vmur
yes beas khund is the place from where river beas starts,only up above it is called river parvati.
i did three yrs of my education from dharamshala,ever sunday we ,a group of 6 would go to some tourist attraction in & around D'shala like the dal lake,the famous dalai lama monastry,chamunda mandir etc.incidently we went to kullu manali also together.oh, friends u have awaken those fond memories.thanks.
dear abha,
yes ,mussorie is one of the hippest hill station ,maybe because there r lots of prestigious schools/colleges in deharadun .so some hi fi people visit it after visiting their kids.
how did u find the weather there( in mussorie).we went last sept.it was very foggy all 4 days.local says that it is same all yr.it looked romantic but a bit scary too.

Hi Pragathi/Abha,

Why don't you share some pictures of our beautiful Himachal mountain ranges on IL? I have just 5 of them and they are back home in India in my parent's home.

I saw snow for the first time too in Rohtang Pass. It is beautiful isn't it? Please do share the pictures.

Regards
Vidya
