Manali

Manali · India · Bhuntar

A Himalayan valley town that has become the country's default gateway for high-altitude passes and paragliding, apple orchards covering the lower slopes below the snowline, and a backpacker and honeymoon scene that somehow coexists without friction.

The best time to visit Manali is Mar–Jun, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (84°F). Local time there is 17:30 (UTC+5:30).
