Day 25 - Off to the Himalayan snowfields!

We headed off around 9:30 for a trip up the mountain. We'd been told the previous day that there wasn't enough snow for skiing, but as as we drove up past the ski hire huts there were a lot of people hiring skis anyway!

We made it to "Snow Point" which is where the skiing is meant to start - there was snow, but the cover wasn't great, but it didn't stop people trying to ski - way too dangerous for us, it's no Mount Buller - rocks and trees everywhere, no ski lifts, and cars just parked anywhere along the side of the road. There were people offering horse rides, and for some reason trying to sell us saffron as well - which we hadn't seen anywhere else.

After spending some time walking up the mountain, we headed back down to to the Solang Valley, where we watched the paragliding for a while. However we'd been advised that there was better (and safer) paragliding elsewhere, and we'd arranged for that tomorrow.

Back to the hotel by lunchtime, so lunch in Manali (pizza for K two days in a row!), some shopping, and an uneventful end to the day.
