We walked around Manali the last couple of days trying to figure out our travel plans. We visited the train booking office and found out that the only train (with availability) going to Agra would be leaving on November 26 from Chandigarh (about 200km away). This was much earlier than we originally planned, so we looked into other travel options (the cost of a driver, a flight from the closer town of Shimla, or a train to Delhi with a driver/bus to Agra). 
The upcoming train seemed to be the easiest and cheapest route so we booked the rail ticket that morning, and also booked our ongoing rail ticket to Varanasi for December 2. It’s hard to believe our travels in India are almost finished, with only a few weeks left before we leave for Thailand.

Since we only had a few days left in Himanchal Pradesh, we decided to leave Vashisht that morning. We went back to our hotel, packed our bags, took a rickshaw to Manali and then booked a driver to take us to Naggar that afternoon. Surprisingly, it all worked out well considering we didn’t have a hotel in Naggar and had no idea where we were going. 
We found a nice hotel right next door to Naggar castle and we spent the rest of the afternoon walking around this small town and exploring the castle. We’ll be spending a few nights here, then having a driver take us to Chandigarh the night before our train departs for Agra and the Taj Mahal.
