About Manali

Manali is the Himalaya at its most reachable: deodar forest and apple orchards along the Beas, the Atal Tunnel opening a cold-desert valley on the other side of the Pir Panjal, and old stone temples in Vashisht and Old Manali that most visitors drive straight past. It works for a snow weekend, a first Himalayan trek, and a slow riverside stay in equal measure.

Best time to visit
Best from October
October to February for snow, March to June for green valleys and adventure sports, and July to September for a quieter, rainier Manali.
How to reach
Bhuntar (Kullu) airport is about 50 km away with limited flights; most travellers come by overnight bus or car from Delhi and Chandigarh (12–14 hrs and 8–9 hrs).
