During my visit to Spiti valley in last Jun I had a small 2day stay in Manali when we had few birding excursions. It was a bright sunny summer then and I was amazed to see the Sub Himalayan flora. Both the places were wonderful from flora point of view. I wish we can keep our Flora meet somewhere in Sub Himalayan region in summer. Satish Phadke
