A quaint town in the outskirts of Manali, called Raison is the pathway to heaven. Once you reach Raison,  you don’t need to brainstorm anymore. You can just run your engines straight to the most magnificent cottages you ever laid eyes on –Johnson’s Cottages in Raison.

Though the cottages are pricey , yet the exclusiveness is
well deserved because this place is extraordinarily  wonderful. The biggest attraction is the breathtaking
scenic view that belts this area and your entry onto the grounds of nothing
less than a fairytale with a vast and an exuberant spread of apple orchards
that you always dreamt of touching for real.
 
While your most commodious stay is ensured at these cottages
in Raison, you can take short trips to Manali , only in a matter of thirty to
forty minutes to shop, gorge on some eateries and not to forget, a reminder of
you being alive, a kick for your adrenaline- the adventure sports!  Firstly, luxurious and finger-licking food
awaits you at Johnson’s Café on the circuit House Road , Siyal , Manali and
thereafter, to satisfy the cravings of your sweet tooth , make your way to the
Honey Hut Café , situated on Ram Bagh Chowk in Manali, for delicacies dipped in
wholesome honey.
 
If you probably want to try something light like when you
are looking for the perfect evening supper destination , then without a doubt
,try out Valentino’s in Kullu –Naggar –Manali Road . But be careful because the
curious assortment of dishes with rich Italian flavours will take you by a
storm and make you a Valentino’s Valentine.
 
Well, going on a vacation, and not facing the perpetual
dilemma of suitcases overflowing with all the new stuff you bought , is
something next to impossible . To start with you can have the best shopping
experience at the Mall Road, the heart of the town. Also the old Manali Market
is yet another quintessential destination with cobblestoned pathways and a wide
variety of stuff.
 
Then there is the Tibetan Market which is the best for some
cute Tibetan artefacts and souvenirs, and of course, the famous Bhuttico, a
cooperative shop which has three stores in Manali , so that you don’t miss out
on its delicate , warm and rich quality apparels.
 
Shopping can really be such a fulfilling experience but it’s
also very taxing and it truly drains all your energy by the time you’re through
. So, to rejuvenate and revitalize yourself, indulge in the exciting adventure
sports Manali has to offer.  Literally
laughing and shrilling with excitement at the same time, shrieking in each other’s
ears every time your raft in the waters go sliding down, then up a shallow
trench, can be the most alive moments of your life that you share with your
loved ones on a vacation. Raison and Manali are filled with well-equipped river
rafting , rock climbing and parasailing spots that are sure to make your vacation
the most unforgettable sojourn ever.
 
To enjoy adventure sports, the best time to go to Manali
would be the peak summer months because during this period , Manali’s weather not
only gives you respite from the scorching heat but also gives you a glimpse of
the snow-clad mountains when you go up through the Rohtang pass.  This famous Rohtang Pass remains closed
during winter months due to acute snowfall but during the summer months , it
would be an offence to miss going up through this pass because up there ,  there is skiing, rolling in the still snow
till your heart’s content and giving yourself breaks intermittently to sip on
some Maggi noodles or tea, stationed all up there just for you.
 
The undeniably awesome hill station welcomes you with cool, slightly chilly
winds and gushing waterfalls and rivers that let you snuggle and cuddle under
your skin.
