Chandrakhani Pass to Malana VI - Day 4 The end of the trek

We slept till late I think it was 8 AM when one of our porters woke us up.
We quickly got dressed and had a wonderful breakfast of Aallu-Paratha. Our trip for the day was to go through Malana village and climb down to Malana Dam where our jeep would be waiting for us.

Our guide Budhi warned us to stay close to him and not stray on to any path as it could displease the local people as the path towards the temple was forbidden.

The real Malana
 As we got ahead we knew we had to take some pictures and the walk through the village was a photo walk for Happy.
Our Hotel
The Village lost in time

Village Children - Be sure you do not touch them
Local Farms
 As we got down from the village our guide showed us the path we had taken to come down. I feel proud of me to have undertaken this journey.

 As we came out of Malana we had an easy descent again. There were streams and river so it was an easy descent.




 Signs of mordern civilization were appearing and we knew our journey was  coming to an end
Waterfall and me + this bridge
We end our trek at Malana dam


Happy with our staff
We finally reached the dam where our ride was waiting for us. I have traveled in many cars but this jeep was the most comforting ride for me ever.

Waiting for our stuff to be loaded
Goodbye Malana !!!
The jeep dropped us at Jari a small town near Manali. We took a Jeep from Jari to Manali where we had a big lunch.

We bought some stuff like wines and trek maps and went to catch our bus from the Manali busstop and borded a bus to Delhi.

Writing about this trek I can only remember my journey quite vividly and writing about this I want to go again. I think I will call Happy and find what his plans are.
