Manali is a popular tourist destination, particularly for
adventure sports such as skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, and trekking. The
town is also known for its hot springs, which are believed to have medicinal
properties. The famous Manali Temple is also located here, dedicated to the
Hindu god Manu. Manali is also a popular destination for backpackers and
hippies, as it is known for its vibrant and eclectic culture. The town has a thriving
arts and crafts scene and is home to several temples, monasteries, and other
places of interest.The town of Manali is surrounded by several small villages,
each with its own unique culture and traditions. Visitors can take a day trip
to these villages and experience the rural way of life.
Manali is also a popular destination for honeymooners and
families, as it offers a wide range of accommodation options, from
budget-friendly guesthouses to luxury resorts. However, the heavy tourist
