It is located in the Kullu district, about 270 km north of the state capital, Shimla. The small town, with a population of 8,096, is the beginning of an ancient trade route to Ladakh and from there over the Karakoram Pass on to Yarkand and Khotan in the Tarim Basin.

HISTORY
Manali is named after the lawgiver Manu. The word Manali is regarded as the changed name of "Manu-Alaya" which literally means "the abode of Manu". Legend has it that sage Manu stepped off his ark in Manali to recreate human life after a great flood had deluged the world. Manali is also often referred to as the "Valley of the Gods". The Old Manali village has an ancient temple dedicated to sage Manu.
The British introduced apple trees and trout. The first apple orchard was set up by the British near Patlikuhl, which were earlier not native to Manali. It is said that when apple trees were first planted, the fruits were so plentiful that often branches, unable to bear the weight, would collapse. To this day, apple - along with plum and pear - remain the best source of income for the majority of inhabitants.
Tourism in Manali received a boost after the rise of militancy in Kashmir in the late 1980s. This once quiet village was transformed into a bustling town with many hotels and restaurants.

Mumbai youth, two friends gear up for peace ride from India to Pakistan
The rift between India and Pakistan is as old as the division of these countries and is still nursed on both the sides of border. To bridge this gap and spread the message of love, peace and brotherhood, a Dombivli youth and his two friends from Vashi and Mumbai have decided to undertake a bike ride.
Called Peace Ride, the youths will travel on their bikes across India and Pakistan and make a documentary out of their experiences. The recent terror attacks on Pathankot air base had made Dhaval Gori, 25, from Anandnagar, Dombivli, quite anti-Pakistan. "But my opinion changed when I met a man from Lahore in Mumbai and realised that not all Pakistanis are anti-India," says Gori, who works as a project manager with a MNC. "Even the Pakistanis have their own set of problems – an unstable government, terror strikes, among other issues," he adds.
