Julley Everyone,
Beautiful morning out here today, in the outskirts of Himalayas, I would say as this place away from hustle and bustle has its unique charm, unique story and unique ways that how this was the main spot on the way to various other isolated remote villages of Himalayas and it was the Tandi Sangam.
A place where two of the himalayan rivers they meet and then form up another river. It is even considered a holy place and also a place that leads various ways to various valleys of Himalayas. That would lead you to totally a whole lot of different place, each and all together.
On The way to Sangam
So here we were my friends, started the journey early morning from Manali and reached at this place where the two rivers they just combine and form another river on the left hand side was the flowing of Chandra river, and on the right hand side, it was the Bhaga river that came all the way from Baralacha La Pass, and the other river came all the way from Chandra Taal. The Moon Lake.

Here is a quick glimpse of the adventure or of the place where I was somewhere in this isolated Valleys of Himalayas.
Sangam
This was the point, my friends where you guys can see that how the two rivers they form and then blend into a single one.
The Tandi Sangam also known as Chandra Bhaga Sangam that Blends the Chandra river and the Bhaga River thus forming the Chenab River also known as Chandrabhaga.
There, even were, the sign boards that stated not to go closer to the river, as there are high chances and risk of drowning.
Finally, it was the time when we reached and made our way all the way till here, and now we decided to park our car, and we were feeling a bit hungry as it was. The time knew. There were the traditional cafes Dhaba’s at this place as most of the people they used to on their way, relax here at a spot as there were these few of the shops and cafes that were called Dhaba on the way to their journey, either to Leh Ladakh or to Pangi Valley.

So the person also started to cook right in front of us as it was a drum which was filled with charcoal and hot burning inside that used as a stove which was called Tandoor used in the traditional times, but still was here at this place. Even the Tandoor is quite common in India and most of the Indian cuisines. I was so amazed to see that I was about to get most delicious Tandoori Paratha that had the stuffing of potato and some other veggies in it.
Here is a closer look of the stove or Tandoor.
The Classic Clothing Stores. From Decades.
After eating breakfast, I was headed to the shops, the traditional clothing shops that had jackets, T-shirts, shirts, all sort of garments in it. On the way people usually buy items from the shops as they have perfect items that could be used in such harsh climatic conditions, especially in the winter times when the whole place is covered under a thick blanket of snow.
Now it was the time to just walk straight by closer to the Tandi bridge.
There even were few of the more Dhaba and shops nearby, as here is a quick glimpse of the place.

Another thing that I found my friends was that I saw a dog that was just relaxing at the top of the shop, so amazed to see that how the dog man is to reach at the top of the roof, and then he was just relaxing by.
There even were these sign boards. This board that particularly mentioned the timings of the bus from the bus route at this place, most of the part of the region does not get network connection so using a mobile phone or a map just to see that where we were at the moment is a risky task, so there were these traditional sign boards that used to keep up with the timing of the buses.
So that’s all for today, guys. I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time.🙏
Love from the Himalayas. ♥️
