That was an auspicious day - my trip to Manali in Himachal Pradesh. I am a person who loves to travel long distances but while travelling to Manali I fell asleep. My mom woke me up to say we had reached. The moment I opened my eyes I was amazed - blue skies, white mountains, green land. It was very cold too. We stayed in a lodge near the river Beas. From the window of my room I was able to see the Rohtang pass. It was fully covered with snow. I haven't seen such a beautiful mountain ever before.
The very next day I was there playing in the snow. The guide said we won't be allowed on the pass during winter because the roads to Rohtang would be fully covered with snow. I was wondering how cold it would be in winter. For the first time I did some skiing and played a lot with the snow. My sister did paragliding, etc.
Next day I went to Kullu, a place near Manali. There I went for rafting on the Beas. It was awesome. The water was ice cold and fast flowing. Kullu is famous for its shawls. I too bought one for my granny.
There is a road called mall road in Manali, where both the sides of the roads are full of shops. We could see different types of clothes, eatables, shoes, bags, etc. Every thing was extraordinary.
I also went to some other places like museums, Hadimba temple, parks etc.
There are also many other temples. In one there were many monkeys and I was scared.
I really enjoyed it a lot there. After three days bliss, we planned to go back home. I was not able to forget Manali, her climate, and specially the river Beas whose noise was heard day and night without any rest.
We all must have heard a proverb " East or west home is the best " but if you have once travelled to Manali, then this proverb makes no sense to you as Manali is like heaven, a place where you get lost in its beauty.
One bright sunny day I ran downstairs excitedly to my parents. I asked if we were still going to the beach for a week.
“Yes, we are,” answered mum and added as I hugged her in excitement, “After breakfast we will set off!”
I ate my dinner quickly and got ready to set off. Dad was wearing a blue shorts with a green t-shirt that had palm trees printed on it, mum was wearing a pink top and purple trouser and I was wearing a pink skirt with a light blue top and we were all ready for a fantastic holiday.
After a two-hour journey by car, we finally got there. I could not stop myself and ran towards the sea as soon as the car stopped. The water was gleaming like a sapphire and gentle waves touched my feet as I ran on the soft yellow sand.

“Aiman,” called mum. She wanted me to help her with the unpacking. We spread a sheet on the sand and took out the snacks and drinks we had brought. Then we all sat down to enjoy ourselves as we eat chicken samosas, pizza and kheer.
Then my parents and I started playing with a Frisbee as I tried to catch it, I saw a blue bubble on the beach. I wondered what on earth it was.
“Dad, have a look at this strange thing,” I cried. Dad screamed at us not to touch it and told me that it was a type of jelly fish which could sting.
The next day I was collecting lovely sea shells when I heard someone screaming in pain. It was a girl in the next hut.
“What happened”? I asked her. Her name was Komal and her mum told me that she was playing on the beach and suddenly started crying because of pain in the leg. We saw swelling and redness on the leg. I called dad and he told them that it was because of the blue jelly fish on the beach and gave her some medicine.
The following day they visited us with some yummy chocolates. She told us that her pain disappeared. Komal became my best friend and we had a wonderful time with them. Overall, our stay at the beach was full of fun — we went on boating trips, horse and camel rides and had loads of fun playing on the beach and in the water.
The days passed very quickly and soon it was time to go back. Both of us hugged each other and gave friendship bracelets to each other. I will always remember this holiday at the beach with a smile.
