Manali not for me

So I have been roaming around the streets of Manali market this evening and I don't seem to like what I see...

To begin with there are more tourist than locals.. How can i enjoy a place when the people who inhabit the place are fewer than the visitors may in the ratio of 10:1 There is no majic to such a place.

Dont get me wrong I think Manali is beautiful. The high mountains.. the tall trees the fresh air..

I was imagining it around 20 years ago and man it would have been breathtaking... Now it seems like a market between mountains aargh...

And who do I see around me...

Couple on their honeymoons .. the bride with her mehndi still on and ornaments that say I was married a few days ago... Guys its your first holiday after your wedding make it special...

Drunk group of boys from somewhere in north India who think the own the place with their attitude and beer bottles...

Couples still in college come for a weekend getaway.... Guys you'll can do it somewhere in delhi also... wont make a difference

Families who have come for a holiday but the only place they seems to visit is the restaurants...

And then stupid travellers like me with rugsacks wandering around the place doing nothing...

I know i am sounding like a jerk... But i feel bad for myself and all the other fools around me...

Ta...
