My favourite travel destination in India
Camping in Rishikesh might be the perfect vacation for some people but not me.
Manali:
There are several destinations which are worth travelling and will fascinate you with its specialities, nature, diversity and culture. So when there are so many places to explore my one of the favourite holiday destination is ‘Manali’ in Himachal Pradesh. This place is best to visit whenever you need a vacation and to be away from your heck-tick schedule. The reason behind its beauty is the fresh air from the surrounding dense forest and its cold weather. Its one of the most visited destinations in India. It has 2 major attractions Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley which makes the destination visit more fascinating. Though now we have many other activities as well to explore like white water rafting, rekking, paragliding, skiing, zorbing but my favourite is paragliding which allows you to see the beauty of its place and the snowy mountains from a certain heights and that mesmerising view is something which makes it special as well as exciting for me. There are few famous temples which are also worth visiting Raghunath Temple and Jagannathi Devith. The Snowy weather can be enjoyed in December to February month but still this place is pleasant to visit throughout the year. Its a must visit destination and would love to visit ‘Manali’ whenever i get a chance with my friends or family.
