I have very fond memories of manali.Like most indians even I had visited this fascinating place for my honeymoon.The journey though long from mumbai was pleasant and exciting.It was a dram come true when I reached this wonderful place.In manali people are so friendly that is very easy for a new couple to find the best of the hotels & that too at affordable price.The Ice sports available are wonderful and include ice skating ice racing para gliding tyre riding horse ride & bear ride.I went there during the month of January when the winter carnival was going on.The people from all over himachal had come to this town for the same as it is a big event in Himachal Pradesh.We also visited places like hadmiba temple & manikiran spring waters.Also its a shoppers paradise with handicrafts to leather jackets to hongkong market.THere all to shopp for.The resturants there amazing with all major cuusines available.While I am wriiting this I think I have just visited manali just now its so refreshing.Go and have fun to a place thats so close to heaven.
