Manali is a picturesque hill town located near Kullu in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, nestled at the northern edge of the scenic Kullu Valley along the banks of the Beas River. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lush landscapes, Manali is situated approximately 270 kilometres north of Shimla, the state capital, and about 544 kilometres from New Delhi.
With a population of just over 8,000 residents as per the 2011 Indian census, Manali retains a charming small-town character while offering world-class tourism experiences. Historically, the town marked the starting point of an ancient trade route that connected India to Lahaul, Ladakh, and beyond the Karakoram Pass to Central Asian regions such as Yarkand and Hotan.
