Roses of Manali : Speechless, cant Describe in words their beauty...

Nature has bestowed his blessings to all places. But somehow i felt in this trip nature has been somewhat a bit partial also to some places. Manali has been blessed with Greenery that at some point you will have to look hard to find a brown spot, river flowing with its full flow and the mountains covered with Snow.

Though being fickle in mind nature plays game also here, sometime its dark clouds and in an hour its a lovely sunny day which pinches.

This nature of Manali has given it lot of beautiful things. And something which i noted most was the ROSES. For me it was like i have seen malnourished roses in my city New Delhi. In a my whole trip i had not seen a single bouquet shop in Manali, may be the whole sole reason was that every house had its own Rose garden so whats the need of gifting a rose bouquet to any, loss of bouquet industry.

From the day one i was suprised to see the size and density of the roses in manali. i had heard of valley of flowers but that is in uttrakhand and i was in Manali which is in Himachal pradesh, i was stunned and curious what valley of flowers would look like if Manali is like this.

I talked to my hotel staff... they told me that this time they are very less in number because of heavy snow otherwise they would have been double in number. Cant even imagine what scene that would have been.

I visited club house which has its own rose garden. First view on entering there was a board highlighting in big font " Warning : Plucking of roses is Illegal and will cost a Rs 100 on a single rose ". This board had its meaning as it is necessary to save them otherwise no beauty would be left.

I had seen Bougainvillea plants in Delhi with full load of flowers on them, holding thousands of flowers on a single plant. But this was something different, yes it is a rose tree not a plant. I tried to count but it was futile effort as i knew i wont be able to count correctly as density was too high and it was best to enjoy rather than being too intellectual. Atleast some 200 roses on a single tree, and this was not alone, everywhere it was same just colour would be different.

In Delhi if a single rose is their at your home, all the neighbours start asking from where you bought this plant , and the next day question is stopped on its own as rose has fallen from its branch.

This blog of mine had nothing much to write as somethings cant be explained in words. The beauty which i witnessed in Manali was something which i would like live again and again.

Trust me i was dumbstruck at most of the times. Seriously it is hard to narrate my feelings, what i saw there and how beautiful it was.

Roses : Speechless , cant describe in words.... so enjoy the beauty through some of my pics may be could understand my situation.
