What a Hillsation manali is !... 40 kms. away from Kulu to the north, Manali is situated near the end of the valley on the National Highway leading to Leh. I visited last year in May to June for tracking and adventure activity.. Its a very nice for tracking and adventure activity. Very good Climate. I enjoyed tree season on one day there. At Early morning its too cold and after 10.00 am is hot and after noon 3.00pm I enjoyed rain and night I enjoyed snow fall.
The Manali market is crowded with myriads of interesting shops selling Tibetan carpets and crafts and the appetizing aroma of steaming noodles hangs about the little restaurants. Manali, with its Mountaineering Institute, is a popular base for trekking and mountaineering in summer and skiing in winter. Interesting routes into the surrounding valleys, over the high passes, are provided with tourist huts and rest houses for trekking enthusiasts
It is an excellent place for a holiday, a favorite resort for trekkers to Lahaul, Spiti, Kinnaur, Leh and Zanskar regions in Kashmir valley. It is known as the SWITZERLAND OF INDIA.
