The Enchanting road trip from Shimla to Kulu is for most parts along the River Beas which cuts the Mountain ranges forming a picturesque unending stretch of Photograph QUALITY sceneries.
The Village Kulu famous for its Woolen Dresses (Shawls, sweaters, jackets etc) is the very dependent on the Tourist traffic for its livelihood . Apart from this they get seasonal income from the Apple farms which provide them lively hood for about 3-4 months in a year.
Manali is just about 45 mins by ROad from Kulu - which forms the first entrance into the HIMALAYAN ramparts. The Roads there are built and maintained by the Border construction.
The Rohtang Pass form the most picturesque locale with lots of intersting things to do ....like....Skiing, Snowboarding etc. apart from the Breathtaking View of the WHITE SNOW LADEN HIMALAYAS.
Apart from this we can also enjoy Para Gliding at a locale some 5 kms from the Manali town.
Good hotel to stay at Manali - Shingar
