Situated on a height of 1,926 meters from the sea level, Manali is around 40 kms from Kullu. The scenic hill station is embellished by the colonial fragments of the British era just like Shimla or Nainital, instead, Manali presents a glimpse in the yesteryear Hippie era and the influence of Buddhism on this tiny town is pretty visible in form of various multihued monasteries that look like red dots amidst the mountains. It’s scintillating, snow capped, rocky ways adorned with emerald greenery on its either sides, lush green meadows, garrulous rivers, pouring waterfalls, towering fir and Pine trees add the heavenly element to it which only makes it more irresistible.
Erstwhile a hippie haven in the 70s, now Manali has come under the global tourism radar. It has become a well known destination among backpackers and mainstream tourists alike. Tourism in Manali contributes nearly the quarter part of total himachal tourism. Plan your Manali trip now and embark on a journey of a lifetime. In Manali, among various tourist destinations, visit Vashisth Spring and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul in the blessed water of the spring that has been proclaimed to have a medicinal value.
Move on after reviving your somnolent soul in the Vashisth Spring and pay respects to the sacrosanct temple of Hadimba which according to the legend is the place where Goddess Hadimba meditated for years (Dhungri). Its history dates back to the epic era of Mahabharat according to which Goddess Hadimba was Bhima’s Wife. Built in pagoda style, it’s a must visit for all locals and travelers. Another historical site of religious significance is the Beas Kund where it is said that Sage Vyas had performed his daily bath.
