Hi,
Im planning a trip to manali at the end of november. Not much of a trekker.
Total trip is for 7 nights. 7 nights in Manali might be a bit much. Want to visit 1 more destination but unsure of which place.
Our base in Chandigarh (we fly in from Bangalore to Chandigarh and back).
Which other place do you suggest that is a mix of off beat / semi touristy within this region?

In reply to Maria. For me, yeah a week would be because I'm not much into trekking - but if you like to hike then you might enjoy a week there! 3-4 days might be better if not.

Hello :)
I have been reading your blog for a while since I decided last year to plan to go to India. You are so inspiring and so so helpful! I get nervous about writing replies on blogs for some reason, but I thought I should speak up, as I hope you like to hear from readers rather than them just lurking around!

We flew to Delhi last Saturday then took the overnight coach to Manali on Tuesday. We are staying in old Manali and loving it. This post is useful to read now. We had the apple juice today, it was so tasty, definately going to try apple pie.

I have been wondering about buying jewellery and gems if I come across them, do you have any price guides?

Feel free to email me back. Currently we have no set plans but we want to head down to Goa in about a month, so I’m sure all your info will be invaluable.

Thanks

Lizzie
