"Purple Haze All Around"

---

Tranquility in Kullu & Parvati Vallies

Coming back from Kinnaur & Spiti we needed some rest from the dens we slept in during the tour. Manali was the right place for that. Probably the most spoiling spot in north India, it is packed with nice guesthouses, very good food, great weather and good atmosphere.




The Title is taken from Jimi Hendrix song 'Purple Haze' written under heavy influence of the drugs he was using at the time. This song is one of the psychedelic rock best classics and it perfectly suits the atmosphere of Kullu & Parvati, obscured by the smoke.
