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

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.

| 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.
