The sight really overwhelmed me and I couldn't resist myself gazing at the scene for a couple of minutes non-stop. It seemed as beautiful as a painting. Manali, India, is one of the finest hill stations in northern India. The hill station is at a distance of 40 km from Kullu, to the north. Manali occupies a position at the end of the Kullu Valley and lies on the National Highway leading to Leh in Ladakh.

 

The Beas River crisscrosses Manali wonderfully. Beautiful deodar and pine trees along with tiny fields and fruit orchards add an exotic touch to the hill station of Manali, India. Manali also happens to be a favourite resort for all those who trek to Lahaul, Spiti, Kinnaur and Leh.
