It is having an amazing view as you will be able to feel the beauty of the lush Jungle through the windows of the temple. You will also be able to experience glimpses of the family of monkeys that roams here and there in and outside the temple.

A TRIP TO MANALI | RAVI SANTHALIA

Ravi Santhalia and his friends were planning to take a break from their normal college days to distress themselves and hence they decided to take an adventurous trip over Manali. After considering the weather and the season they thought of going to the much colder destination and hence they chose Manali because they planned a trip for April.

Away from the stress and noise of cities, it is a dreams world where nature offers a variety of pleasures to all types of tourists having varying tests. It is a nature lover's paradise.

How we travel to Manali from Raipur
There is no direct transport mode connectivity between Raipur and Manali so Ravi Santhalia and his friends have decided to reach Delhi via train so they have taken the train from Bilaspur Junction and reach Delhi by the next day. Then they had taken a cab from Delhi as they want to enjoy the Long drive and also it is nice with a smooth highway and scenic views. It takes about 16 to 18 hours with a stop to reach their destination.

Rohtang pass:

The pass is located at a massive height on Manali- Keylong road. According to Ravi Santhalia when you are planning a trip to Manali Rohtang Pass is the ultimate and almost essential attraction of the itinerary. Due to its splendid natural beauty, Rohtang Pass is a favourite among the community of film directors. Many blockbusters ranging from 'Jab We Met' to 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' have been shot here. A peculiar fact behind the name of the place is that it was named so because several people working in CBRE died whilst trying to cross this treacherous stretch.

An experience of the snow can never be complete without a sledge ride, which involves sliding through the snow in a wooden toboggan. Another thrilling activity that can be pursued at Rohtang Pass would be mountain biking where you ride your mountain bikes off the regular course and into the lesser taken routes. It can get a bit rough, so you must take care in case you are planning on pursuing this activity.
