Jogni Falls: A Magical Waterfall and Endless Apple Orchards
I must’ve slept for 10 or 11 hours straight – fully deserved if you ask me. Since there was only a rather short hike of maybe 12-14 km to Jogni falls on my agenda, I felt that I had all the time in the world.
Around 10 am, my phone rang and the hotel guy asked if I wanted breakfast. Ok fiiiine, one reason to finally get up. After getting ready and just locking my door, one of the hotel guys randomly came up and unexpectedly brought my order – great! Breakfast on the balcony it was then 🙂

Exploring Manali: A rainy day in the hills
After 15 hr on the bus (why can’t they have sleeper busses on this route? 🙁 ), I reached Manali around 11 am. I knew already that it would rain and was slightly concerned about the roads when leaving. Fortunately, it was only a light drizzle so there weren’t any issues. Seeing some old landslides on the way still makes me a bit nervous…

The Hills Are Calling: Trekking in Himachal Pradesh
“When are you going?” “I don’t know.”
“And where are you going?” “I don’t know.”
What a great planner I am! This time I actually didn’t know any details about my trip until 2 days before I left. All I knew was that I wanted to go trekking in Himachal Pradesh – or at least somewhere 😀
In my defense, this cluelessness was not really due to my laziness but simply because a friend could not decide whether he’d tag along or not. -
