MY trip to Snow valley Of manali

Last month we group of friends to plan to visit manali, A beautifull place just 540 km from delhi.
everything is planned we decide start our journey on 14 dec 2008. We book Semi sleeper bus why bus ,dude we 34 people. we book 6 cottage in manali through a travel agents.
Main story start here, bus has to be depart at 7-30pm from Delhi, but destiny has decided something else for me, on that day I have to attend training in my office when i come out of office what i see, our cab got breakdown on the way, My cell continuously getting rings from my friend who are eagerly waiting for me or they are in hurry to see Snow valley of Manali. I told them u guys u leave i will join u manali. They first refused but I promised them to reach their by taking state roadways . They agreed and left , I am still in office and in confused mood whether i shud go or not. thn I dicided to go, and i reached bus stop at 10-30 pm ,Now one more problem There was no direct bus or manali, so i decided to do break journey. Then i decided to chandigarh and from there i will get Bus for manali easlily.
It was night journey thats why i cud not able to see anything but when bus moved from Mandi, everything changed, It was my first Trip to any hill station so I was very exited . I heard about roads in Hill station they are very dangerous but when i seen them it was only adventurous.
