Yay! I visited the Himalayas! It was a brilliant experience. Feels really very different now. Life seems much too plain now. While I was up there, I made it a point to write down stuff. Anything. Everything. Here we go.
May 26th: Bengaluru - Delhi - Bhuntar

The bus that took me from Delhi to Bhuntar |
All my planning had gone down the drain. The airport shuttle that I was supposed to get wasn't there. Apparently, the timetable was changed and the website wasn't updated. I then immediately booked a cab and while I waited, I gave BMTC every
gaali I could remember. The cab arrived and then a series of WTFs happened. Huge traffic jams everywhere. Made it to the airport just in time. The flight journey seemed to be going on forever in spite of a stunning air hostess :P. Reached Delhi an hour late. Had to again rush to Himachal Bhawan from where my bus to Manali would leave. Took a cab immediately. The cab driver turned out to be a really nice guy and dropped me there well before time. And guess what? The bus I was supposed to take starts from a different point. Luckily the place was nearby and I immediately took an auto. Felt relieved once I saw the bus. Nice bus. Well maintained. Incidentally, my next-seat neighbour was also going to Kasol to pick up his daughter who had just finished her Sar Pass trek! Had a nice time chatting with him about the Himalayas, life and other things. Very nice person he was. The bus passed through Chandigarh at around 11 PM and wow, it's a very beautiful city! Slept after that. Very well too. Hadn't ever slept so well on a bus.
