Tour to Manali, Chandigarh, Amritsar and New Delhi

Finaly, after making 6 month long plans, we made it to the best places on the Indian soil for one of the best trips ever made.

Manali, the ultimate location for enjoying the snow-clad beauty of the Himalayas, Chandigarh, which hosts those wonderful, traffic free roads, Amritsar, with the beauty of the Golden Temple and history of Jallianwallah Bagh and New Delhi with it's amazing Beating-the-retreat ceremony.

The following blog(s) will explain in more detail about our experiences.

Would like to thank Ramaneesh and Vermeen, for making this trip such comfortable. Without them, this trip would not seen the light of the day. Also would like to thank Darshan for helping us out with our Chandigarh and Amritsar trips.
