First Solo Backpacking To Himachal ~ Vashist, Manali, Naggar

“Arre abhi toh ayi hai beti, phir kaha jaa rahi hai?!”, the elderly uncle whom I had asked the way to my homestay exclaimed. I told him that I planned to check out the nearby village and trek to Jogni falls through the jungle. “Dhyaan se jaana aur jaldi aana, barish kabhi bhi shuru ho jaati hai yaha”. I smiled and left. These ever so kind and pure people of the hills are one of the reasons that I fell in love with the mountains. After a crazy time of shifting from Manipur to Chandigarh, setting up a new ‘fauji ghar’ and making it home, scary exam schedules of the husband, I finally made up my mind that I had to leave for the mountains to stay sane. Four months of this married life schedule and I had to run to the mountains. Don’t get me wrong from the above paragraph, I absolutely adore being married to my boy and this fauji life, but then, we all need our me time, right?! And what better way than traveling.

Trust me when I say, this is so so near Chandigarh! Do you know the best part about being posted to Chandigarh?! Other than being a beautiful city with those aesthetic cafes with exotic menu and those roadside dhabas with that finger-licking good ‘khana’ and those delicious parathas with ghee makkhan and cheese, little shopping places where you can pick up some very unique kinds of stuff and those beautiful hill stations just a stone’s throw away! It is indeed one of the best places to get posted.

The husband and I took a ride on a Sunday and in just half an hour we got this view! How lovely is it! So, when we landed in Chandigarh, the first thing I did was to check out the places nearby. And I tell you if you love exploring, the neighbor state Himachal can be a treat! And after asking around a few friends I decided I did not need to wait for anyone to start exploring this beautiful neighboring state. So, I packed my bag, caught a bus and set out.

Early morning stopovers in bus rides The Trip Begins It was around 9 am when I reached Manali and I took an auto to Vashist main temple. As a solo traveler, your first experience can always be such a confidence booster and for me, this auto ride was one. The auto wale uncle was the sweetest! I told him I needed to use a washroom on the way if it was possible and also had to get a change for my 2000INR notes to start with. He took me to a nearby public toilet which he assured would be clean and empty (and it was) and all the while he looked after my bag. After that, he took me to his friend’s bakery where he got my money changed. After that, while we headed to the destination, he was sweet enough to tell me all the local bus timings and the places that were good for solo travelers.

View from the auto - on the way to Vashist Didn’t I tell you… These people in the mountains have my heart! Vashist Once the home of the Vashist clan, this little village is famous for the temple of Guru Vashist and one of the main attractions of the temple remains the hot spring for Indians and foreigners alike.

Guru Vashist Temple! However, it was not the temple that attracted me to Vashist. A few weeks before when I was yet to decide on a place to visit for my solo trip, I received a message from my friend who has been a hippie all his life. He sent me pictures of the homestay he was in and invited me to stay for a few days. He had spent 10 years in the area and also ran a homestay in Manali a few years back. He knew every nook and corner of the place and so I thought of taking advantage of this opportunity. The auto dropped me at the main temple and the homestay was ten minutes trek uphill into the village ahead of the temple. The village is a maze and I had to ask around the locals for the correct trail leading there. Though a little confusing to reach, it was worth it!
