Situated along the banks of Beas River, Manali is celebrated in the hill state of Himachal Pradesh. At an elevation of 2,050 meters above sea level, Manali lies in the northernmost part of the Kullu Valley.
Manali is a picture-perfect Himalayan destination; with snow-clad mountains and glacier-topped hills overlooking the verdant valleys and scintillating Beas river, which sings throughout its course.
Best time to reach Manali
Manali is a spectacular weekend getaway destination from Delhi and can be accessed all through the year. However, it offers different charms in different seasons. Be it for the heaps of snow or to escape the blistering summer heat of the plains, there’s something for each season.
A monthly break-up of Manali’s climate would help you plan your trip accordingly:
March to June: It’s the hottest that the town gets; though it’s still pleasant for the city folks. Manali functions as an ideal summer retreat between these months. The flora, during this season, blooms to the hilt and renders pristine views.
July and August: To all those tight on budget, Manali is your go-to destination. Just bear in mind the town is prone to landslides during the monsoon and maneuvering can be a bit tricky.
September and October: Once the monsoon resides, Manali functions as a base point for trekking activities.
December end to February: This is the coldest season with frequent snowfalls throughout. It’s the best time for snow play and skiing.
Reaching Manali
About 550 kilometers from the national capital, Manali is one of the most prominent hill stations near Delhi.
By Bus: There are several buses that ply daily from Delhi and Chandigarh to Manali all through the year. These can be booked online or by visiting the interstate bus terminal in Kashmere Gate, New Delhi.
By Taxi: Taxi is also a feasible option, though costlier than buses. Ensure that the driver has experience driving the hills.
By Air: About 50 km from Manali, located in Bhuntar is the Kullu-Manali Airport. However, keep in mind that prices are high and services can be irregular.
When visiting Manali, keep in mind that Manali’s nearby scenery is its only asset and that Manali is nothing but a base to explore the breathtaking beauty. If you’re the type of traveller who’s on a quest for a sophisticated vacation with luxury hotels, and looking for souvenirs and shopping opportunities, Manali isn’t your cup of tea.
The town itself doesn’t offer much and by the end of the first day, you’d be having a tough time looking for activities to occupy yourself.
