It is not till the rays of sun absorb the darkness of night and churn it into an orangish silver sliding down the gorgeous peaks that one may realise what were they missing till now. Snowy vacations in Manali may sound a cliché idea until you witness it first hand and fall in love with those winters forever. A temporary strangeness comes and retreats every morning, leaving the inhabitants with a new energy affirmative of a certain zest till dusk. As the pure soft air swirls around the balconies of The Orchard Greens Resort, one may tread over a little divining chill with a little indulgence of warm coffee. The cold climate here woos its visitors with bitter-sweet pleasing pain under the nail-beds. That red-golden ball unravels many score yards of apple orchards within a few minutes. Soon your lips will turn cherry and your cheeks will waxen. This is a delight that only the few of us can experience while climate change and global warming has yet not wrangled the precious earth.
The year ripened, the state of Himachal Pradesh has revitalised itself with optimum seasonal rainfall, autumn just passed by as it should and there was never a time before this beautiful to still make for the loss of the whole year. This year, Manali is bathing in a new charm as the winters are extended due to early passing of autumn. Snowfall and morning dew are the staple of this season. Since temperature seems to be a little sharper, this is the perfect time to shoot some ice-flowers. These are the crystals of ice that form on the ground in the shape of a flower. The whole process is a bit scientific, but the visuals are purely dramatic.
Manali is the hub of snowy treasures. At one end there is the violent rocking of the streams at the valley and at the other end there are the rhythmic sounds of drifting winds. There is a lot that you can expect from this one hill station alone. Come with the zest and the energy that you will require to explore the region.
The Orchard Greens Resort has all the amenities. You do not need to worry about a thing. It is just that you need to carry your good humour with you. Jackets, Shawls, warmers and all those winter essentials are better to be purchased locally. This area is full of natural pastures where sheep herders keep their flock moving. It is also the international centre for wool trade. You will find here the highest quality wool, sheered from the sheep that feeds on the medicinal Himalayan grass. It is rich in oils and has a soft texture. Warm clothing is the best gift that you can buy for yourself and your loved ones. As of the amenities, leave that to the staff. You will be pampered and spoiled at our resort.
Manali is not at an excessively high altitude, yet it may require some time to acclimatize, especially if you are aiming for treks and winter sports. Skiing and other organised snow sports are child’s play. There is a lot that you may be missing out if you are in a rush. Here you can experience both speed and calm in the same day. Where one valley unfolds a melancholy spectacle, the other might bring vigorous joys. One patch may be carelessly greened, the other might be wrung up in heaps of snow. Give yourself some time in Manali for often the flagstone paths here lead to your inward personal charm.
