From Narkanda to Solang Valley

Hello friends. I hope you all are healthy and happy.

[//]:# (!pinmapple 32.31353 lat 77.16365 long From Narkanda to Solang Valley d3scr)
on dated 14-o6-24 I reached Solang Valley. Which is a small beautiful village in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh state. It is also known as adventure valley. Every kind of adventure activity takes place here like hiking, trekking, rafting, rock climbing, etc.

I have also come here for The Great Himalayan Running Festival event.
I volunteer in this running event and I also take pictures of the runners.

Friends, yesterday I took a bus from Narkanda to Sainj. I am very excited for this journey. The distance from Narkanda to Sainj is around 78 KM. No bus goes directly to Kullu from Narkanda. I had to change three buses on the way, only then I reached Solang Valley. On reaching Sainj, I waited for the Kullu bus which comes from Rampur of Shimla district. The Rampur _Kullu bus arrives around ten o'clock. I get a window seat in the bus. Luhri bus station is two kilometers from Sainj. It is along the Satluj river. As soon as you cross the Luhri bridge (Satlej river), the border of Kullu district begins.

The condition of the road from Luhri to Kullu road is very bad. Jalodi pass comes on the way. The height of Jalodi pass is 3200m above sea level. The bus takes a lot of time from Luhri to Jalodi pass. Jalodi pass is a tourist place. Due to the large number of tourists, there was a lot of traffic on the way. I reach Kullu bus stand at nine in the night. There is no shortage of buses from Kullu to Manali. There are buses for Manali every 15 minutes from here. I leave for Manali after having dinner at a nearby hotel. This distance is around hundred kilometers. The bus reaches Manali in two hours. There is no bus service from Manali to Solang Valley at night. So I take a taxi and reach Solang Valley at eleven in the night.
