Waking up! Early
As early as a fast check in...

Woke up to the day! The night felt kinda cold.. Maybe was the matter with the weather the monsoon rains just leaving the place and Himalayan peaks getting covered under a thick blanket of snow.

It was around 5 AM when I woke up and had a thought about exploring the place and remembering the olden times when I used to explore the Valleys of Manali.

Got my mountain bike fixed and now back on the trails.

After riding for a while, a sight I looked at the Peaks of Hallan Mountain which was near the isolated hidden village Hallan of Manali. The peaks were covered with the fresh snowfall and it was the first fall of the year. The welcoming of winters. Though I was little sad about the same because now we were now able to hike the summits as the snowfall season just started on the peaks and now would be open on the next pre summer times.

Unknown Trails

Took the trail that led to the Pangan Gompa, An ancient Monastery which was once built on the isolated cliffs of 16 Mile Manali. There was a stream flowing by the side of the Mountain when I was riding and exploring the place and just at the moment it was all that I have to cover up in order to reach closer to the place.

It was a short cut that I decided to take, the trail was nearly a feet wide and it was nearly impossible to ride the trail at a higher speed. It reminded to of my recent incident that I had when I was in Shimla. A down hill mountain bike championship of which I was a part of and at the peak named Summer Hill near Shangti Shimla we had the race.

Few of the people over there they just walked the trail at the narrow edges but it was me and few of the other people who have experience crossing the trails like these and I was one of them. It was just a flashback of the memories that I have and I wanted to share this unseen side of the hidden trails near Manali with you guys.

I tried capturing various photographs from different angles so that you guys could get the true picture of the same.
