Manali is a resort town nestled on
the mountains of the Indian state
of Himachal Pradesh near the
northern end of the Kullu Valley
in the Beas River Valley.
It is located in the Kullu district,
about
270 kms north of the state
capital, Shimla, 309 kms north
east of Chandigarh and
544 kms north east of Delhi, the
national capital.
The small town, with a
population of 8,096, is the
beginning of an ancient trade
route to Ladakh and from there
over the Karakoram Pass on the
Yarkand and Khotan in the Tarim
Basin. It is a popular tourist
destination and serves as the
gateway to Lahaul and Spiti
district as well as Leh.
Manali is one of the most popular
hill stations in the country. With
jaw-dropping views, lush green
forests, sprawling meadows
carpeted with flowers, gushing
blue streams, a perpetual fairy-
tale like mist lingering in the air,
and a persistent fragrance of
pines and freshness - Manali has
been blessed with extraordinary
scenic beauty. From museums to
temples,
