Bus Tickets to and from Mandi

The spiritual centre of Himachal is Mandi which has over eighty temples in the town and ghats along the Beas where people take bath throughout the year. On Shivratri, hundreds of village deities come in palanquins, the entire site becomes full of colour, music and prayer. The lake of Rewalsar next door remains still, and its reeds floating on it, and its silent monasteries, possess another sort of peacefulness.
