Kulu Valley

Manali, 03/04/1994. Driving through Kulu Valley this morning gave me my first impresssions of this beautifull valley. I took a small room in a local hotel in Manali for tonight but i do not intend to stay long, instead of Manali i wish to move up to the small village of Vashisht first thing tomorrow. The village is supposed to have a semi permanent population of freaks and alternatives. Walking up there this afternoon i had a chai in the local chai shop and got offered a hit from a chilam leaving Vashisht stoned out of my head, quite happy and determined to return tomorrow with my gear and staying a while.
