Discover the Beauty of Himachal with the Manali Kasol Dharamshala Package
Situated at 6,260 feet above sea level, Manali is a stunning hill station surrounded by majestic mountains and dense forests. A popular destination among travellers from all over the world, Manali captivates visitors with its breathtaking beauty and serene ambience.

Manali’s allure and charm make it one of India’s most beloved hill stations, attracting countless visitors annually.
A Glimpse into Manali’s Rich History
Manali is steeped in history and mythology. According to legend, the area provided a haven for the lawgiver Manu, who found refuge in this tranquil location. The story goes on to reveal that a small fish, later revealed to be the first avatar of Lord Vishnu, warned Manu of a great flood that would submerge the world. In preparation, Manu built a sea-worthy ark. As the waters receded, the ark rested on a hillside, which eventually became Manali, named after Manu. Over time, this place transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful region, now a prominent tourist destination.
