40 kms. away from Kulu to
the north, Manali is situated near the end
of the valley on the National Highway
leading to Leh. The landscape here is breath
taking. One sees well-defined snow capped
peaks, the Beas river with its clear water
meanders through the town. On the other side
are deodar and pine trees, tiny fields and
fruit orchards. 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.
