My this blog is about a place which is known as a Film shooting destination in Manali and because of that reason is now considered as tourist spot.
Kothi Village Manali , considered as the favourite destination for the Bollywood movie makers in the Manali region. All the time my driver was boasting of this place. I just asked why a village is in the list of tourist destinations. He said nothing sir you wont find anything special there but due to being a Bollywood movie paradise it has gained status of tourist destination.
Though a beautiful place to be. I had my stopover there for some minutes , as my parachute landed there. And it was must for me to regain myself.
There was nothing much to see or something which i could write. So i decided to click some pics and have a blog from a photographers eye. But i would accept that place has got some aura in it. A small village, placed like a cup in between some mountains which adds the exceptions to it from the rest of places.
I asked my driver if any shooting is going on – “presently No”. I had a sigh of relief because i have seen film shootings before also and i know what chaos they generate and how boring it is. I was finding myself to be lucky to have not seen a film shooting. Just loving it.
Some 3 bused passed , it was getting tough to capture this pic. But luck favours the brave and who is patient enough to wait for the right moment. Thankfully no other vehicle came in between which were stopping me in my previous efforts.
Now what to say of this pic. This is the real beauty of Kothi village.
This Piece of Rock attracted me most. Was lying just under the tyre of my car, shining like gold.
I realised that day, How easy it is for me to regain myself from any situation. I had flown in air for some 7-8min travelled around 2000fts in air. Needed to regain myself, and the medicine was my Nikon D5100 camera.
Just a 20min of halt at Kothi. Day was getting over and now it was the time to explore some new food joints.
One was suggested by my driver and i was dying to be there as it was going to serve my Favourite Rajma (kidney beans) an Rice , consiered as National food of Manali.
