⛓️ for tyr, 🍻 for alucren, and 🧨 for enok

(you can answer these for any version of the above guys, or even multiple versions if you have the motivation to /lh)

[ a collection of symbols & headcanon asks ]

Well, I thought I was gonna maybe have a straight line of swtor editions for this one, but I think Tyr's actually makes better sense for his xiv rendition.

[ ⛓️ ]ㅤ.ㅤ what does guilt feel like to them ?

In a few words? Tyr too often comes to wear his guilt like shame.

Sometimes it falls upon him like the blinding morning sun, making him duck his head and cover his eyes for want of relief. It's something almost heavy, but indescribable in his chest. It turns to lead in his veins, weighing down his limbs, making each step feel heavier and harder than the last.

He can't always place it. Much of what chases him into guilt are things he knows are, by logic, beyond his control. They're things he would not hold against another - one can hardly control where they're born, after all. But plenty of them are scabs he's had picked at by others all the same.

It drives him into himself. Against the demands of duty, he can't let any of that shake him, right? He can't give attention to the way the mortar crumbles under the weight, how cracks are setting in to the wall of resolve. If it's not their fault.., is it his? If not directly, then for showing weakness long enough for them to doubt?

A lot of this really digs its claws in during Stormblood, and a lot of it is Tyr trying to grapple with the bloody legacy of Garlemald - inescapably his, and also... not. He's marked as one of theirs, but what remained of his kin and elders of Lapis Manalis fled the northern cold while he was so young he has the barest memories of the caverns in which they would have one day trained him.

So, when every time he turns around, an introduction requires a thorough explanation, and no log of historic exemplary deeds will suffice for the here and now..? Was it enough? Is it enough? Will it ever be enough? Does he even have a right to care if it will be?

What that cost him in the long-run is added stress and strain on him and the ones he loves that do want to stand beside him - people like Astor and Yroh'a (@dawntread) that aren't asking him to bear that weight alone, and are fighting against the idea sinking in like venom to Tyr's veins that he knows it shouldn't hurt like this, there's an explanation for these things, so he'll tuck it back behind his teeth until he can swallow the bile and the feeling, because no one else deserves to bear that rotting feeling. So he tells himself, at least.

And ultimately? It clouds his judgement on the First. It makes him reach beyond his means in an attempt to lesson the load on his fellow Scions and adventuring companions, and instead he ends up probably in more trouble than he was already with the lot of them, given the state of the world. That's what drives him to attempt to call on his very limited training in the ancestral arts of the Reapers, and instead get himself saddled with a sineater companion he tries to make the most of in the hunt for the Lightwardens in Shadowbringers. Ultimately, what all that Light corruption compounded costs him is sight in his right eye.

And some would say this is why we need to talk about our feelings. /lh. Thankfully for Tyr, Yroh'a and Astor are about as stubborn as him, and can stick with him through the long process of learning the hard way about keeping too much knotted up in his chest, and he can finally start on working some of that out in their later adventures on the other side of their challenges on the First.

[ 🍻 ]ㅤ.ㅤ what kind of drunk are they ?

Admittedly, drinking isn't Alucren's vice of choice - and a lot of how she is while drunk is largely dependent on her reason for drinking.

As a general indulgence, it's something she's more likely to do socially; it was a common staple of the galas and parties her family used to often host or attend in years past on Dromund Kaas. A glass or two or three can be nursed easily while gossiping away the hours with the Empire's elite. It loosened even his tongue a little, though I'm sure it would surprise none to say that it just made her more prideful and showboaty about things.

And even at her lowest in the five years Taizi (@shadowsofdread) is missing in carbonite in timelines where we put Taizi up for commander, I'd say Alucren's preferred vice for numbing the grief of existence was more smoking than drinking, though he certainly performed plenty more of both than would be considered his normal. That and primarily sex, admittedly - with anybody that had a passing interest, and with very little of her usual strong boundaries. Several drinks, a few lazy cigarettes, and an unfamiliar partner that could easily be said to look ready to devour him were all easier things to pass the miserable rains and hollowed existence than staring into the mirror with knuckles white around the refresher sink and eyes aching from... Well.

The point was to not think about it. And certainly not to talk about it. On his slightly better days, enough of himself was present to complain when he could've been drinking some desert piss for all the good it tasted - though while such was more than enough to stop her or at least make her change her choice of beverage at her "best," before loss took over, such things never stopped her during those five years.

Understandably then, it's... not a vice she often indulges in after. It's wrapped up in memories she'd much rather forget - both for the haunting pain in his chest, and for the... amount of himself he gave up in longing to escape the worst of his feelings. She's really not keen to experience any part of that again.

Smoking on the other hand? Well, those were substances she was usually in a much better, comparatively at least, state of mind about consuming. That's something she mostly thought she did for herself, for fun - most of the times, at least. Though I think even that he tends to indulge in less afterward. Stepping into the Alliance and beyond with Taizi back at her side was an awakening in more ways than one, and it wasn't always a pretty one. A lot of days it looked like the galaxy's worst hangovers got together and threw a party, and then had their own hangover from that. She owes Taizi better than that.

And more importantly? She slowly begins to learn - and let sink in - that she owes herself better than that. And that's a life she'd like to be properly present for.

[ 🧨 ]ㅤ.ㅤ what’s the quickest way to set them off, even if they hide it well ?

Hrrrmmmm. Would you believe this was the one that gave me the most trouble? xD Not necessarily because there aren't a few times I could think of, but... synthesizing the inciting incident and... also trying to figure how that's consistent across the few versions of him that exist.

As a short rundown for those at home not in our dms /lh, Enok has a version in FFXIV (pictured above), is my Mourn Watcher in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and also has a SWTOR edition running around in our heads way more than I've posted about alkdnf;ladsfn.

In general terms, he's an old soldier, and has a rather limiting tendency to take on blame that isn't necessarily his alone to bear. But bear it he will, because despite his attempts to appear otherwise, he unfortunately can't stop giving a shit about the younger people around him that still have nice things in-tact like their hopes and dreams and ideals.

And it's not that he's dispassionate about any of these things himself. He's just found himself often enough on the end of getting corralled into acceptance and keeping his head down and falling in line. And he figures he can take that, if the world keeps spinning 'round like it ought to.

For that acceptance, he doesn't look to have an outright problem with authority. But authority has often left him out in the cold, so to speak, and he's had to make do with himself and whatever luck the universe deigned to spare at the moment. He'll even take having a bad reputation for it, if that's what helps people sleep at night.

But his temper gets shorter when that same authority tries to pin blame for shit he's taken on himself. Because he's done that shitty song and dance and let it beat a good amount of defiance out of him, and sometimes, that's enough to light a fire in him again that says he'll be damned if he's gonna just stand by quietly and watch it happen to someone else.

My best example of this is probably from his SWTOR timeline; Enok there serves as part of recon forces in the early attempts to resettle Taris. Him and the several units he leads in the course of those efforts were some of the earliest boots on the ground, before proper bases and safe zones were even established.

And, unfortunately, Enok is a man who had a talent for surviving, despite the doomed odds and hells of that planet. He's burned and buried more young soldiers than he'd like to keep count of at this point. And that kind of cost for 'success' both wears on a man, and comes with a pretty twisted reputation.

A few times it's been enough for him to try telling Command and their esteemed governor exactly what he thought of her "victory for Republic morale." That it was getting a lot of good young men killed and little else, was what.

It did not, however, expedite his retirement. Instead, the ultimatum was fall in line, do the job, or have what little power he had in directly running with units stripped to be left sitting in quarantine. And possibly official repercussions for that "attitude." The discussion got... heated. And involved raised voices. Enok's not... entirely above throwing a fist about poor authority, even if his 'better judgement' has saved him from letting it fly... most times.

No good choices, by his count, but there was only really one feasible one left out of that. So, he took his discontentment and ground out an understanding through his clenched teeth and got on with it. Even though it forced him to put bolts through a few more of his own men.

He never will manage to forget how the stories about his reputation change in the last moments - where it's a choice between the twisted certainty of rakghouls or a quick certainty at the end of a blaster. That should be enough to outrage anyone with even a bit of a heart left. For better or worse, it'd seem Enok managed to survive with that in-tact enough, too.

Spring is one of the best times to visit Himachal Pradesh, as the weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C in most regions.

Rigel is moving right along with the Moogle treasure hunt. Since she's stalled at the end of DT (she's up to the final trial and I honestly do not have the spoons or the desire to deal with it), it's been really nice to have something to do with her again other than running Manalis for the 100th time to level her Trusts. (speaking of which, have any other reapers headcanoned that their WoL has gone to visit Drusilla and dish about all that?) In the meantime I really love the Hallowed Kamuy she just got with her Moogle tomes. It's so pretty and the color scheme matches some of her glamours. She is now *one* Kamuy away from having the set of seven and getting the bonus mount. Of course it's Susano, which can not be soloed, that's missing >_<

[kalek-the-mad]

{personal log no.16}

got sent to lapis manalis to gather information on the reapers of garlemald couldn’t they have built somewhere warmer I’m freezing what’s left of my tits off here.

I entered the mountain proper and twelve fortend it’s as dreary and depressing as Octavia said but no turning back now the transport won’t be back for another couple of hours let’s hope the bastard’s at least half sober. Though I do admit the what I presume are training puppets are astoundingly advanced even compared to what we have in old sharlayan I wonder how they operate maybe I can nick one when no one’s looking?.

You know when Octavia described this place to me and the others she seemingly forgot to mention the GIANT BURNING VERITABLE OCEAN OF CERULEUM THAT LOOKS LIKE A SCENE OUT OF THE DIVINE COMEDY. What person would think to set all this ablaze probably ordered to do so by zenos the fool such a waste of good fuel.

By the gods that’s a void gate THEY HAD A VOID GATE UNDERNEATH A BUNCH OF HOUSES AND SURROUNDED BY CERULEUM WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. How many voidsent crawled through that portal I don’t even want to know I better report this so it can be dealt with properly i better leave before I become some voidsents lunch gods I hope the transport is here.

Hi baby. Saw the update 3 minutes after it got posted and I tried to fly through it but my net is not cooperating.

One word.

Damn

So he still wants her. While reading it, halfway through I realised the possibility that he's following the plan. It becomes obvious when you think about why he pulled up to assault hyun. If he's so happy and in love with yeji why would he care?

Update on manali. Broke my leg, my no fracture streak is over. Three guys are trying to get with me. Eating brownies and fries with my yuna right now.

-zosia

how is it that you update me every time it gets worse😭😭 please take care of yourself omg zosia i want you to come back alive

[shivasdarknight]

Disconnected 6.5 thoughts below the cut; I've only finished the alliance raid and msq so keep that in mind - also pandae stuff because I'm still miffed about it.

Honestly, it's just a lot of conflicted feelings. On one hand, I'm glad that Zero and Azdaja actually survived the patch; on the other, Zero has been removed from the story right as we were really getting to know her and get used to her being there and Azdaja barely has any presence or lines in her appearances. Tiny Azdaja cute, but narratively she was just...really just Vrtra's motivation and not much outside of herself and very hollow. She was also Golbez's weapon, and now that she's her own person again she struggles to communicate and the most we get is a thanks from her and "Radz-at-Han...home...". Like I want to be glad that they survived patch, but that's such a bare minimum desire considering how the rest of XIV has gone. While Zero got to stand more on her own and be her own person, I just can't help but feel like Azdaja was robbed of so much agency and ironically more so once she was free of her imprisonment.

The writing of this patch series has been all over the place and it's been hard to stay invested in it. 6.1-2 and this patch have been ig the best in terms of msq, but 6.1-2 are still significantly better than 6.5, and then there's 6.3-4. The pacing is all over the place - either lots of fluff, or you're being hit with so much all at once that it barely makes sense - and they're trying to tackle a lot of plot threads while not letting them play out or mature naturally. I loved Zero's arc, but 6.3, 6.4, and the first part of 6.5 all felt like the same story to an extent - like gaining the trust of the Garleans versus the Eulmorans, learning about friendship vs learning about trust and dependability. While 6.3 is the one that had Lapis Manalis and was overall a lot stronger since Rubicante, most of 6.4 felt like fluff that went nowhere. 6.5 still has that fluff problem but actually gets going - and what's frustrating! Is they have some genuinely interesting ideas in there that they don't really capitalize on!

We are presented with a treasure hunt that leads to the void and their turf wars. But instead of going into that, we have to now help with the Garlean reconstruction and making them seem like Oh So Poor Victims when they've spent the last expansions trying to colonize the entire star? Trying to wipe out the religions and cultures of various peoples on Etheirys? Now we have to play nice with them and treat them like fragile glass and give them trade routes and whatnot? Beyond the fact it continues ENW's problem of only showing Garlemald through the eyes of the upper class (problem that extends through all of our focuses, but this especially with the people who were ripped from their homelands and forced to work for the Garleans in Garlemald), it invalidates a lot of the genuine harm they've caused and obfuscates their role in the state of things. I wish this care and attention had been placed in Ala Mhigo instead, but here we are - doing with Garlemald what Ala Mhigo has been starved of for ages now. Oh and now we're back to the Archfiends, and now we're back to the Garleans, and now we keep throwing Jullus in here and the devs really really really want to make him and Zero a thing (the thought of it gives me Fucking Hives), and then we're in Sharlayan, and oh look an arbitrary FF4 reference, and now we're on the moon and now we're on the First, and NOW shit is finally happening.

Like my god, either condense this story into a concise proper trial series (like the Four Lords or Werlyt - honestly a Four Lords structure would've been perfect), or give this the proper attention it deserves as an expansion pack focused on the Void. The turf wars, the restoration of the Thirteenth - also where the fuck was Cylva?? I'm happy to see Gaia again and in a voiced cutscene, but where the fuck are Cylva and Unukalhai? They're literally relevant to it, you can tell Zero about them and vice versa and the most it amounts to is just "Interesting. Anyways-" and there's no progress on any of that. Both of their stories have just halted right when Zero's was gaining momentum and while Cylva's has been in limbo since the end of the SHB role quests.

And Zero. God, Zero. It felt like they were floundering with her for the longest time before they decided to make her follow Cecil's example. I'm glad she's alive, and I really do like the new design for paladin, but honestly the reaper stuff fits her way way better? Aesthetically and design wise, I get story wise that it was about her breaking from the confines of the darkness she'd been submersed in, but her old design was literally so much better orz As in more fitting, more interesting. Yeah ik I'm biased because I love the Vampire Hunter D look, but her immediate shift was just...weird. They floundered with making her the food motivated moe lead and then they just shoved that into her last second - the stuff with wanting to harness the light was fascinating, but it should've been brought in way sooner instead of an extended scene of people eating really hot curry. We were just starting to get into an extremely interesting character and then they went "Arc's over, time for everyone to go home without Zero (:". Yes, I'm now sitting here regretting the fact I didn't listen to my gut feeling about writing romantic stuff with her, especially since GWEN, but I'm mostly miffed from the point of. This is the first major ADULT female character we've had in a bit to be in the main party and now she's just back on the Thirteenth. And with Dawntrail and Tural coming up, we probably won't be seeing her for literal irl years - if at all. I know that not in msq is a better fate than dead, but between her and Lyse and Fordola all getting sidelined when they had the potential to carry some pretty serious story, it's just exhausting. Also the speed at which wolzero and yshtola/zero became predominant sapphic ships, then suddenly there's a lot of zero/jullus, yshtola and zero become increasingly distant with each other, and Zero is removed from msq? What the fuck?

People have been calling the Scions more one-note lately, which I agree. Estinien and Y'shtola were definitely the focus this time to build them up - which is great! I like how they're developing them! - but it seems like they only know how to do one thing with them when there isn't action, which is like. Research and nixie-related threats for Y'shtola, and training and squid with Estinien. Y'shtola has been at her most endearing and likable in these patches, and I really don't want them to strip her of what makes her fun. Estinien was also really good in 6.1 with that merchant (fight me, he knew what he was doing - he is not financially illiterate, he just doesn't give a fuck about material possessions), the stuff with the orphanage and him connecting with the children of Thavnair is really sweet considering his backstory, and he was really great with like Zero and Azdaja and how reliable he ended up being towards the tail end - but him just bailing last second? That fkn fanservice shirt scene? The constant squid shit i'm just. He's one of the most interesting characters that's still alive and relevant (hate that that's a factor in this) and the more they turn him into a joke character the more it feels like they're missing the point with him. Like you can still have him grow from his experiences and actually be fairly carefree without doubling down on food motivation or the "he's the dumb scion" - ENW portrayed that very clearly in all of his interactions with the Scions. Whoever is doing the 6.X patches doesn't seem to get that with the exception of moments like in 6.1 and the later half of 6.5.

I think the only storyline that I've really liked so far has been Myths of the Realm. Tataru's whole thing is fine, just really hated dealing with Gaius and Emmanellain. Sil'dihn Subterrane was fun, Rokkon is...tiring. Pandaemonium started promising and ended up leaving me feeling gross at the end. I wasn't really looking forward to Myths of the Realm because it started off with the implication that the Eorzean tribes' gods were "knockoffs" of the Twelve - but I'm glad they specified that it's more that the Twelve took influence from them but at the same time. We still have a pantheon of twelve extremely white humanoids that are supposed to represent the sum of their believers - and thats what they look like? I appreciate the Leviathan stuff in Llymlaen, but it's just disappointing seeing their designs if they're supposed to be a culmination of faith.

The story of Myths of the Realm was way better as it went on, though there are so many boring designs within it which includes gear. Obviously Azeyma, Halone, Llymlaen, and Nald'thal had really nice designs - Nald'thal's is beyond fun - but so many of the others are just Zeus knockoffs or Guys. Byregot, Zeus. Rhalgr, also Zeus. Althyk? Zeus. Or at least old greek man but so much of that Is From Zeus. And again, they're all so fucking white. Conceptually, Eulogia is interesting. In execution, it's...something. I don't hate it, I just wonder how it could be refined. I also don't really agree with this idea that people are saying the ending was just putting in a prayer answering machine because it was pretty clear as to what was happening? The gods weren't there to assist people directly, they were there as aetheric balancing for an unstable star. People worshipping them happened when people caught glimpses of them, and from there the religion came about and began to further and further grant them power. As that religion grew and so did their strength, they harbored aether they wanted to return to the start to help facilitate its stability and longevity - hence why they seek you out and hence the device. Y'know, the device that was meant to collect prayers and funnel it into the star so that they could be released and finally rest. They're a lot like Hydaelyn, but whereas Hydaelyn was conscious because she was directly made of Venat, these twelve were constructs based on their original selves. That they have this much autonomy - especially Oschon - was beyond the original plan and exists because of the faith of the peoples of Etheirys. That story in it of itself is honestly really compelling to me and I really like the conclusion as it makes sense that the remnants of the old world should eventually be laid to rest and allow for the people of today to live without the shackles of the past tying them down. It lets the Twelve actually get to live amongst the people they watched over as people themselves, since they're not really the people Venat worked with. My only thing is that Deryk's conclusion is what I'd wished Venat had gotten. I'm not against him getting that ending - it fits, it makes sense, I really liked it and him - but it feels weird that they meta-textually say that her entire spirit being decimated in your fight against her is a good thing when it just feels like murder in the context of the game. I wish we could've gotten to adventure with her and let her actually see the star she so diligently tried to protect. That Deryk gets to is great, I just wish Venat had been given that chance but we all know why he got to but she didn't.

Myths of the Realm is definitely one of the best stories in the 6.X series so far, but I don't think I can say it's like...any better than stuff like the Void Ark, Eden, Omega, the Four Lords, or even Eureka. At least it's better than Pandaemonium, though - which god. That shit is a mess. I'm going to spare anyone reading this the rant of how insidious it is that they included so many references to notable instances of rape/attempted rape in Greek mythology and named their antagonist after the target of attempted rape, or the fact that this series is a huge step back from Eden in how gd sexist it is (and god especially the fans of this and how they so quickly dropped Ryne/Gaia (who were already just an extension of thanuri) for erich and themis), or the fact that we got to watch Lahabrea immolate a woman ON SCREEN in a really GRUESOME attack that was only revealed last minute that she was secretly evil all along!! With no hints towards that!! So all our female rep is either evil or dead or both!!! No, besides all that, it shares msq's issue of horrible pacing and just a bizarrely written sequence of events that frankly should've been reversed - start with the threat, then go to Elpis to investigate said threat. There's so much fluff in pandae, we spend so much time meandering around, and things that feel like they're gonna matter just never get touched. Not to mention this should've been Erichtonios' story but instead Themis overshadows Everything. Erich never got voiced! In his own story!! And yet we wrap up Themis' story in a side quest series?? Pandaemonium, Kokytos, Themis, Athena, and Hephaistos all get voiced - but what about the fucking emotional core of the story?

Before anyone tries to come at me with the "if you hate it so much, just play another game" - I like this game. There's a lot I have found within the 6.X series that I like that has spurred my enthusiasm and creativity wrt my writing. Which makes all of this all the more frustrating and disappointing when they can clearly do better but then actively don't. They've fumbled the stories of some of their best characters - yes I am still pissed about Ysayle and the fact that Fordola's been treated like crap - and they continue to pace their stories poorly (which implies cram to me). It's really clear they want to be done with everything from 1.0-6.0 and have no love for that part of the game anymore - it's tangible. But it's such a shame that they're relying so heavily on FF4 to prop this part of the story up instead of the years of unexplored content they've referenced. And I'm saying this as an FF4 liker, all of the FF4 references were really heavy handed and obnoxious. So much for an "unpredictable story", it was probably their most predictable yet (PREDICTABLE=/=BAD AND VICE VERSA UNPREDICTABLE=/=GOOD, im just point it out because they themselves said that fans of 4 "wouldn't be able to guess where this was going" And Yet-).

I want to see them capitalizing on parts of the story where they did really well! Capitalizing on their good writers!! And the frustrating thing about this isn't that this patch was egregiously bad or anything, it was just meh. 6.0 and 6.X as a whole has just been very meh the longer I sit on it.

i oughta replay eden.

“So what’s the diagnosis, oh great Doctor Leveilleur?” Marz grinned up at Alphinaud, her green eyes only a touch unfocused.

“Blunt force trauma, mostly. I know your warrior training gives you incredible stamina, but you are still susceptible to concussions, you know. Please try to be more careful. Less headbutting would be a start.” And maybe wear a helmet, Alphinaud grumbled privately to himself. Not that he thought that she would heed such an admonishment. She hadn’t listened to Estinien’s constant needling about armor, after all, so why should she start now?

Healing Marz was different than healing Kaede or Thancred – where the other warrior of light relied on her armor and shield to deflect the worst of the damage, and the gunbreaker on his incredible speed, Marz just shrugged off blows that would put most people in the grave, her wounds mending themselves faster the more the battle fever consumed her. The times he had seen her truly injured were few, but she was still mortal, no matter how miraculous her survival in Ultima Thule had seemed. At least, he was pretty sure she was.

Part of the reason he had been so ready to give up his codex and carbuncle for the sage’s nouliths had been to let his magic be shield and armor for those who had none, and Marz was perhaps chief on that list.

Her small hand curled around his arm and tugged him closer as he went to turn away, and he hissed in unexpected pain. She leaned in to inspect the small rip in his coat, and the abrasion beneath it, that he had completely forgotten about when the battle with Lapis Manalis’s mammets had ended.

If the hazy veil of healing magic he’d spread over the group hadn’t done the job, then a more direct application might not be helpful either, but before he could engage his nouliths to try, Marz had rummaged in one of her many pouches for a small container, and immediately the astringent scent of salve filled the cave, lightly tinged with mint. “Save your mana, I’ve got this.”

As she applied it to his skin, a comfortable coolness replaced stinging heat, and Alphinaud sighed. “I thought I was meant to be the healer, and yet…”

“Come on, Alphi. I protect you, you protect me. We’re a team, yeah?”

Alphinaud smiled under the force of her grin as she stood and slung an arm around his shoulders. Not for the first time, he felt the twinge of guilt and frustration with his younger self – he had not always considered the Warriors of Light, especially the hot-tempered Marz, his teammates, but rather as pawns to be moved about on the board at his own whim. That Alphinaud had been far lonelier than he ever would have let on, and it took the crumbling of his entire world to show him the walls between himself and others were all of his own creation.

Rather than dwell overlong on matters that had long since passed, he nodded at Marz. “You’re right. Perhaps you could teach me some of your alchemical remedies, sometime, just in case.”

“Sure thing, kiddo. Plus, anything to keep Alisaie from thinking she has to step in and take over, right?”

Alphinaud shot his sister a glance where she stood to the side, looking over some documents with Zero, and shuddered. The last time he had faltered and she’d smugly declared that she’d handle the healing, back in Malikah’s Well, she’d not let him live it down until well after they’d returned to the Source. ‘Twas not an experience he wished to repeat.

“Absolutely.”

Bungee Jumping Manali

If you want to enhance your adventure in Manali with an adrenaline rush, then there is nothing like Bungee Jumping in Manali, especially at the unbelievable Solang Valley. This experience is unlike any other: with the jagged snow-capped peaks behind you at incredible heights and the pull of gravity beckoning you, this is not only an experience but a memory you will never forget.

What makes Bungee Jumping in Manali so fun?

Manali is already an established focal point for nature lovers and adventure seekers. But where does Bungee Jumping stand out? The full rush of liberation when you dive out into nature makes Bungee jumping unique. Imagine standing up right with your heart pounding outside of your chest and your eyes fixated on the vast Himalayan landscape below you. And then you dive!

Here is what makes Bungee Jumping in Manali so special:

Altitude + Adventure: Solang Valley is 8400 feet above sea level and is an amazing place to experience one of India’s most scenic jumps.

Certified safety: Organised by certified instructors with international-grade equipment.

For a beginner or returning enthusiast, every jump, whether it be your first jump or your fifth jump, is the same experience every time.

What Can I Expect?

Once you arrive at the bungee jump location in Solang Valley, you will receive information on safety precautions, don your harness, and make your way to the jumping platform. When you jump, it's just you, the wind, and a few seconds of incredible freefall.

Jump heights may vary, but in most cases, falls will be between 40 and 60 meters, which is enough distance to provide some adrenaline, but not overwhelm you. Yes, everything is checked, so you have nothing to worry about.

Who Can Jump Off?

Most locations take anyone aged 14 and older for bungee experiences (or may have specific weight and age restrictions). You do NOT have to be an athlete to jump off - just bring your courage and a sense of adventure.

Cost of bungee jumping in Manali

Bungee jumping sounds epic, but it can get expensive. But guess what, it is fairly cheap! Typically, the price depends on the season, how high you jump, and if GoPro footage is included. They are all worth every penny for some great memories!

Book Your Jump Today!

Are you going to take the plunge? Don't wait until you get there; especially in high season, it may be hard to get a slot last minute. Book now through The Manali Adventure Activity to reserve your place and get the prices.

Kaza: The Heart of Spiti Valley

Nestled deep within the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh lies Kaza, a beautiful high-altitude town and the main hub of the enchanting Spiti Valley. With its stark landscapes, ancient monasteries, and the calm of untouched nature, Kaza is often referred to as the heart and soul of Spiti. If you're planning a trip that blends raw adventure with cultural richness, then adding Kaza to your Spiti Valley tour is an absolute must.

Many travelers looking to escape the crowds of popular hill stations are now turning their eyes toward the remote beauty of Spiti. Kaza stands at the center of it all, acting as the perfect base to explore the surrounding villages, mountain passes, and monasteries. Especially if you're considering visiting Spiti Valley in July, Kaza becomes an ideal destination. The roads are open, the weather is pleasant, and the valley bursts with color and life during the short Himalayan summer.

Why Kaza is the Beating Heart of Spiti

Kaza isn’t just a place to pass through — it’s a destination where you can truly feel the spirit of Spiti. Located at over 3,800 meters above sea level, it offers jaw-dropping views of snow-capped mountains, clear blue skies, and the Spiti River winding through barren valleys.

The town itself is a quiet mix of modern amenities and ancient Tibetan culture. You’ll find cozy cafes, local bakeries, small guesthouses, and friendly locals always willing to share stories about their land. Despite being remote, Kaza has a peaceful charm that makes you want to slow down, breathe deeply, and take in every moment.

Best Places to Visit Around Kaza

1. Key Monastery: Just 14 km from Kaza, Key Monastery is one of the most iconic landmarks in Spiti. Perched dramatically on a hill, this 1,000-year-old monastery is not only a spiritual center but also a great spot for panoramic views of the valley. You can talk to the monks, attend a prayer session, or simply enjoy the silence that surrounds this ancient structure.

2. Kibber Village: A short drive from Kaza takes you to Kibber, one of the highest inhabited villages in the world. It’s a peaceful place with stone houses, winding paths, and scenic landscapes. Kibber also serves as a base for treks to wildlife sanctuaries where snow leopards and Himalayan foxes are occasionally spotted.

3. Hikkim, Komic, and Langza: These three villages are often explored together in a day trip from Kaza. Hikkim has the world’s highest post office, Langza is famous for its fossil-rich soil and large Buddha statue, and Komic claims to be the highest motorable village in Asia. Each has its own charm and gives a glimpse into high-altitude life.

A Great Stop on the Way from Delhi to Spiti Valley

If you're planning a road trip from the capital, Kaza will likely be your main stopover and exploration point when traveling Delhi to Spiti Valley. The journey itself is a big part of the adventure — full of hairpin bends, mountain passes like Kunzum La, and surreal scenery at every turn. While the drive can be long and challenging, it’s also one of the most beautiful road trips you can experience in India.

Most travelers either take the route via Manali (open only in summer) or the longer, more reliable route via Shimla. Both ways lead to Kaza, the central point for accommodation, local transport, and tour services.

What to Do in Kaza

While many travelers use Kaza as a base to explore nearby villages and landmarks, there are plenty of things to do right in town too:

Visit the local market to buy handicrafts, prayer flags, and woolen clothes.

Try delicious local Tibetan food like thukpa, momos, and butter tea.

Relax at a local café, some of which offer Wi-Fi, books, and amazing views.

Walk along the Spiti River for a peaceful evening experience.

Interact with locals and learn about their traditions, beliefs, and way of life in high altitudes.

When is the Best Time to Visit?

The best time to visit Kaza is from May to October, with July and August being particularly vibrant months. That’s why so many adventure lovers plan their Spiti Valley in July trip during this time — roads are open, the weather is stable, and the valley looks its best with wildflowers, green patches, and sparkling rivers.

During the winter months, Kaza transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, but the roads often get blocked and temperatures drop drastically, making it difficult to access for regular travelers.

Final Thoughts

Kaza is not just a town in the mountains — it’s a feeling, a rhythm, and a way of life. Whether you’re riding into Spiti for the first time or coming back for a second dose of its silent magic, Kaza always welcomes you with open arms and open skies.

So, if you’re dreaming of barren beauty, Tibetan culture, peaceful escapes, and thrilling road trips, make sure you don’t miss this incredible place on your Spiti Valley tour. Start mapping your route from Delhi to Spiti Valley, plan your days carefully, and get ready for an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Himalayas.
