Manali Tourism
Nestled between Pir Panjal and the Dhauladhar mountain ranges, the beautiful town of Manali is India’s most popular Hill station. Located at an altitude of 2050 m in the Beas River valley, Manali is situated at distance of 270 kms to North of Shimla, the state capital.
The lush green terrain with dense deodar – cedar trees and alpine vegetation, the stupendous meadows running up and till the horizon, the fragrance of fresh pine and deodar lingering in the air, with jaw-dropping views and breath-taking views – Manali is a perpetual beauty. Blessed with magnificent snow-capped mountains, glaciers and fierce rivers forming and dividing the valleys, Manali is a scenic beauty that leaves us enchanted throughout the year.
