ATTRACTIONS OF MANALI


Manali is a town in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is situated in the northern end of the Kullu Valley, formed by the Beas River. The town is located in the Kullu district, approximately 270 kilometers (170 mi) north of the state capital of Shimla and 544 kilometers (338 mi) northeast of the national capital of Delhi. With a population of 8,096 people recorded in the 2011 Indian census, Manali is the beginning of an ancient trade route through Lahaul and Ladakh, over the Karakoram Pass, and onto Yarkand and Hotan in the Tarim Basin of China.

The particular spot where he established his abode was the present Manali which is regarded as the changed name of 'Manu-Alaya', the abode of Manu. The temple dedicated to Manu is still existing in the Manali village.

In Hinduism, Manu was said to have survived a great flood that destroyed the rest of the world. He then recreated mankind in this Kullu Valley town. What a rush, huh? No wonder the towering peaks and verdant terrain of Manali attract adventure travelers, with heli-skiing, hiking, mountaineering and river rafting the favored active pursuits. Come down from your endorphin high by breathing deeply at the four-story, wooden Hidimba Devi Temple, which sits in the middle of a nearby deciduous forest, or take a medicinal soak in the hot springs burbling from the ground a 30-minute walk from town.

ATTRACTIONS OF JAMMU & KASHMIR


Jammu & Kashmir tourism has been described as a paradise so many times that one feels it is the ultimate homage you could pay to it. But somehow, there is a vagueness in it that does not do justice to this part of the country.

The state is a myriad of popular hill stations as well as quaint little-known ones tucked away in corners. All in all, Jammu and Kashmir is the perfect destination for a vacation with the family, a romantic honeymoon, or a solo adventure-seeking trekking expedition.
