Monday 8 March 2010 - Day 4 Manali, bicycle tour of Naggar and departure to Dharamshala
morning should wake up, my last day in Manali plans are implemented, which had a bicycle tour of Naggar and back, and the descent to Dharamshala. The morning started again with a round of hot tea and I packed my things together so far. I hung my jeans a little to dry out and talked to the join out to give me Rs 600 for 4 nights calculated, that is Rs 150 per night, which I thought was very good and go for a half day mountain bike I paid Rs 400, what I felt in retrospect to be very much, but he said, a full day mountain bike is priced at Rs 700 to him after I had turned off so my backpack at the join out, I grabbed my bike and rode through Old Manali downhill to the tourist office, where I the road to the river and then followed over the bridge. There, I drove right towards Naggar and it was a nice piece by bicycle to Naggar, and it luckily went downhill. Heading offered me a really nice view. I also saw a scooter accident involving a car, but it was nothing bad happens.
Once in Naggar, I first went in search of the castle out in a southerly direction from Naggar and turned back. Back in the center of Naggar, I finally realized how many buses stop here because it probably stop for a snack seems to be a popular place. Naggar is a really small village compared to New Manali, through which one passes very quickly if you are not careful. I had at the junction where the buses stop, take the road up to get to the castle. Since the path was very steep up, I pushed my bike a lot better. It was just tough with the bigger bike climbs to overcome. Maybe I was just weak the legs and the bike was not really good. Then I pushed the bike up to the Shiva temple of Gauri Shankar, where I was putting down at the entrance completed my bike through the gate and entered the small Tempelhof. It was a little more of a temple shrine, consisting of gray to black sandstone and was visited quickly. From there I ran a shortcut with the bike in hand up to the little castle. Near the castle there were some transactions which gave the impression of a small bazaar. Built out of wood castle named "Raja Sidh Singh Castle" I came from behind and finished off my bike in the yard because the gate was open. As I note later, I would have even upside down in the castle able to, but because I was not sure if it was legitimate, I was like all through the main entrance, where I paid Rs 10 entry. The small castle had a colorfully decorated temple can not be overlooked, and was converted into a hotel and restaurant. There was also a small museum, the history of Naggar represented a little.
went to the castle I visit on a bicycle up the steep road down to the bifurcation, where I indulged in a restaurant is a thali, because I just hungry. Then I went back the road that I had come, because the road over the bridge should be clearly south of Naggar longer, although I see it from Naggar from could. The man at the castle suggested I prefer the bridge behind soil to use as a crossing, because I would save it a few miles detour. I wanted that is wanted on the other side of the river, because I do not drive back the way I had come, but also wanted to look at times from the other side of the area. So I went back and Soil in front of the village Hallan I drove down a street. A motorcycle driver was driving down shortly before me. I follow the road to a forest, drove through it and crossed the bridge behind it. Soil to the road was slightly uphill and flat and the bridge the road was fairly steep downhill. On the other side of the river went my way Manali only uphill and I was slowly but steadily. The height difference first had to be re-balanced. Here was a much larger market than on the other side, but here too there were good prospects. Once a child riding a bicycle forth both sides and in front of me and I was surprised that it was faster on the bike when I input the-art on these multi-speed bicycle. I pushed on the bike or my lack of strength in the legs.
the route on the way there I found afterwards nice for cycling. I went back to Manali to Old Manali-through and because I was so late, I could plant the trees, had told me of the Frenchman yesterday, . Give I got so off my backpack, asked why the price of the mountain was so expensive when it received a Royal Enfield already for Rs 500 per day and explained the owner of it with the heavy supply of spare parts that only in New Delhi get and almost the only possibility in Manali are getting even a mountain bike. You can not do anything, so I took my things and went off towards the bus station. Arrived at the bridge, the New-Old Manali and Manali-off occurred to me that I had put my jeans hung up to dry and they had forgotten about. So I ran with bag and baggage once again back the way they packed up and went on my way. On the way back I went through the woods, because nobody here asked for admission. It was a nice feeling to go through these big trees. At the end of the forest I had to go through a very narrow path and run along a wall, with the pack here was a little cumbersome. Arriving at the bus station, I put my big backpack already in the later Dharamshala moving bus and used the remaining time for shopping. So I looked around me something at the bazaar and found one with an iPod power adapter. I tried this to get even cheaper elsewhere, but the best Laden wanted to have 240 Rs for the adapter. He said that he would in the season for more than Rs 350 . Sell I acted, and thought long haggled back and forth. Back in the bus I decided to buy this adapter to ultimately be, ran back to the store and was glad to have him at last.
then drove the bus in the late afternoon, go to Mandi, where it began to rain again. We drove from Manali and the Kullu Valley and were stopped out at some point by police and soldiers. This searched the bus for drugs or the like. You ignored me at all and later on they first asked me to open my backpack. I asked what you would look for and they gave me no answer. Even after several questions I received none. Apparently bugged my questions, so the search for me was very soon over. When Japanese people behind me took longer to search because he had a lot of tea and coffee there. Have found the policemen / soldiers for nothing. Manali is known in India for its drugs. This is where, as I had learned from the hot springs in Vashisht a few days of Indians, even many Indians or foreigners, because the environment in Manali for drug crop is particularly well well. After 2 hours we made the first stop at a restaurant where eating some more. I contented myself with my battered food. The Japanese came into the conversation with an Indian woman who invited him to dinner. Then I talked briefly with the Japanese and then the ride even after Mandi and Dharamshala was continued. Luckily I was dressed fat because warm was something else.
