Jogini Falls

Earlier this year, on a brief visit to Manali, I took out a day to trudge up to the Jogini Falls with a group of guests at the Himalayan. I say trudge, because  to call it a trek would do the real McCoy a huge disservice.  It can take anything between 45 minutes to an hour to walk through Vashishth village, and up through a wooded (mostly) path to get to the falls. Able-bodied sorts can make it in less  without breaking a sweat.

An ancient (is there ever any other kind?) temple greets you halfway; its green front curiously dotted by hollowed stones. Legend goes, they’re bowls out of which the Joginis eat offerings made by devotees. Be that as may, it is a recommended jaunt for those looking to stretch them muscles a tad. Walk along…
