I am looking for someone to share a room with, thought it would be great to keep the cost down and also meet new people. If you are interested please let me know and we could look into booking accommodation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oscar, that's a great idea about the beer and the trip but while myself arriving in Manali 2 weeks before the workshop, can only suggest see you there..) Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:52:39 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150709 Hi Guys, Looking forward to meeting you. I think sharing would be great, there is also another girl, Stacie who is interested so perhaps the 4 of us could share a cottage or hotel dependent on cost. Oscar, When will you be in Bombay? I will be there from the 17th as I am pitching some work to some magazines and catching up with friends. I am going to Delhi probably on the 22nd or 23rd and then up to Manali. Let me know what your plans are perhaps we could travel together. Guys let me know what you think and then we can get something booked. If anyone has time to fine some accommodation that would be great as I am snowed under at the moment!! Thanks, speak soon, H. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:20:55 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150850 dragon guest house in old manali is pretty nice http://www.tripconnect.com/tripconnect/HotelReview.do?hotelID=TC000172&locationID=IN0023 i recommend that you stay a little away from new manali, perhaps in old manali or somewhere in between as the new town gets extremely crowded and congested once you're in manali definitely eat the himalayan trout at johnson's cafe regards sohrab Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:42:24 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150870 Hi all, I would love to share a room with you guys! I did a search for the dragon guest house and it seems to get great reviews. I like the idea of being a little away from the hustle and bustle. I wasn't able to find out how much it is tho. Does anyone know? I'm down for other suggestions too. Cheers!

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:23:02 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150925 Add in Lightstalkers get-together that night in Delhi (probably what Animitra is referring to)! Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:37:16 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150929 as far as i remember it is a little more expensive than the others... about 500-700 rupees (10-14us $) but i guess it may vary according to the season. the rooms were quite large, double beds, big bathrooms and there was a little apple orchard in the premise. you should find enough hotels there for around 200 rupees or so in the area. Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:48:15 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150930 so what do you think, guys? shall we book this dragon GH or 'll search for some more options? arriving in manali on 16-17th i could look for something more cheap and close to these Green House Cottages where the workshop takes place. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:16:18 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#150997 Just got my Lonely Planet in the mail :O) It says the DGH is 250-600 rupees www.dragontreks.com I just e-mailed them to see what the cost is and how many can sleep per room. I will post when I get a response. Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:06:25 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151015 Ok, so they got back to me. They said they have a family suite which has four beds for rs. 3200 and the double rooms are rs. 1200. Seems a bit expensive. If anyone wants me to I can try and strike a deal with them since we are staying an entire week. Otherwise I'm down to try for a different place.. Let me know.

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:54:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151048 wow that's a lot.. perhaps because of the rush there these days.. don't worry there are lots of other places in manali. Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:14:17 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151052 Yeh that does seem alot. That is the same price as Mumbai and that is the most expensive place in India! I think we should look for something cheaper. There are so many hotels in Manali, lets grab a bargain! x Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:45:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151078 Sounds good to me! It does seem a bit pricey and I'm sure we can find a decent place for a lot less. Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:46:32 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151186 Just wanted to let everyone know that the buses are booked for the 24th from Delhi to Manali. I got a ticket for the 23rd and there may only be a few spots left..... Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:35:04 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151220 Hey all, I just got this from a guy named Martyn who is already in Manali. Also if anyone is interested I have been staying at a place called the Tourist Hotel (ask for Circuit House Road but rickshaw guys will know it I should think) [phone: 01902-253562 or email: touristmanali@gmail.com] for a few days - a very unimaginative name for a really good place run by great people. Clean/hot water/good food/nice outlook, gardens etc. Its a bit less than halfway between Manali (New) where you arrive and old Manali up the hill. This might be convenient for a few days if you want to wander around town before being based up further up the hill. All options though are ok here - it's a lovely town with mountains and forest 360 degrees. I am paying 500 rupees for a big room with dble bed and balcony and own bathroom, tv etc. This is about average price in manali but worth it for good place. Many places for 400 are not such good value. If there are a couple/few of you sure you could prob barter over room. Just thought I would throw it out there. I'm going to be arriving in Manali on the 24th. Has anyone booked a room yet? Just curious where we are at at this point. I'm leaving for Delhi tonight and will be traveling for the next two days so I wont' be able to do much until I land. See you all very soon! Stacie Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:57:52 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/room-share-in-manali-for-the-foundry-master-class#151587 Hey all, I've arrived in Manali and got a room with 2 other peeps at the Victory Resort. It's just up the road from the Green Cottages and is an awesome place! We may have an extra spot available. We are staying in the family suite so we can fit a 4th person. The price with 4 people is 350 RPS per night. It's a steal cuz their double rooms are 850 and they have no singles. We are waiting to hear back from one person who might take it but it's more than likely they won't take it. PM or e-mail me if you're interested. Thanks!
