About this Trip
We are going to Himachal Pradesh with 20 young travelers from different parts of India. If you are the kind of person who loves bonfire, who loves to explore local places rather than tourist spots, if walking into woods, or enjoying beer in the local club of old manali and getting high on live music is your thing, then this trip is for you. This itinerary shows you beyond the bars and gives you out of the box experience. We will be exploring a small part of Himachal Pradesh in a traveler's way, not as a tourist.
Also, this trip is not only about exploration but also taking a short vacation from your work life, living the moment on the mountains & making some new friends, it's okay if you don't have a group of friends, Solo travelers are most welcome on our trips. We are also going on a trek to Kheerganga which is famous for hot water spring baths and believe us you won’t feel like coming out of that natural swimming pool.
