Manali

Manali, located in Kullu valley, about 45 minutes drive time from Kullu city, is one of the most beautiful spots of India (in my opinion)! There is no doubt in my mind why this majestic place is known as the "honeymoon capital" of India. Located just at the base of the Himalayan mountains, Manali is central for those who enjoy a variety of outdoor sports - Kayaking, paragliding, hiking, and heli-skiing are just to name a few.

If you're in an adventurous mood (as I expect you are if you are in Manali), then you may want to consider driving the Rotang Pass. The Rotang Pass is the highest highway in the world sitting at approximately 14,000 feet high. After some time of driving up, you will come across a little market that sells soup, noodles, chai tea, and some souvenirs (remember, don't let the salesmen take advantage of you).

Manali has a fairly similar climate compared Canada. Usually winters can get quite chilly and some years may even see a snow base, while summers is short and t-shirt weather.

Manali is one of the main cities that GoIndiaTravel tours. If you are interested in traveling to Manali, India, contact us and we would be more than happy to help you.
