The people of the area wear such wonderful colorful clothing, as though ensuring that the sight of one another will always be a pleasure - a tip that could, perhaps, usefully be taken by people in many cold and austere parts of the world where it would be a good idea to cheer up and enjoy the simple things in life a little more.

At the head of the Kullu valley, Manali perches 2050 meters above sea level, extending along the banks of the river Beas and gazing out like a protective, if somewhat aloof, mother over the valley and the mountains. It gets very cold in winter but the good news is that, if you have forgotten to bring enough warm clothing but remembered to pack your wallet, you will soon be able to look as colorful and stay as toasty warm in your newly-purchased clothing as any local!
There is an endless list of quality tourism possibilities around Manali – the area is probably such a hit with honeymooners because even to glance out of the window of one’s hotel room is an unforgettable experience! Whether part of a group or all alone, there are plenty of activities to suit the whole gamut of pockets and potentials. One might trek into a wildlife preservation zone with an experienced guide, to try and spot a rare leopard or shop ‘til you drop for incredibly beautiful jewelry, pottery, needlework and apparel made locally can all be viewed and purchased.
The long and short of tourism to Manali, Queen of India’s Hills, is that, in the height of summer, the tourist areas can get crowded and young tourists can sometimes seem to forget that they are guests in the area and should try to be good ambassadors for their homes. More peaceful vacations can be had in spring and fall when Manali is less thronged. By the same token, one can’t blame the locals for wanting to pack as many tourists into the relatively short summer season as they can – the region has few other strings to its economic bow and let’s face it – the people of Manali certainly ‘do’ tourism well! |
