    Just Passing Through You don’t go to Manali, high up in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh by accident; you have to really want to go there and make quite a lot of effort to do so. Unless you are crazy enough to be trying to go overland to Ladakh, Manali isn’t really on the way to anywhere and it’s a long way from everywhere else. By car, it takes two full days of driving to reach it if you leave from Delhi – as we did - assuming of course that you only drive during the daytime when the light is good. Believe me you really wouldn’t want to take your chances on India’s Himalayan roads after dark ... more

Manali is 400 kms from Chandigarh 650 kms from Delhi - the Capital City of India. We did this entire way and back over three nights at a resort in ... more

    Hi, can someone tell me how I can upload pictures with a review? I wanted to upload the photos of Manali here but unfortunately can't paste them. India is a beautiful country. Last year we’d been to Manali, which is a hill station nestled amongst the Himalayas. It lies in the state of Himachal Pradesh, a top tourist destination. We went to the capital of India, Delhi by train since we live in Mumbai. Delhi also has an international airport from where Manali is very accessible. So if you are not from India you could book an air ticket to Delhi. Thereafter Manali is a 12 hr car ride. The ride to ... more
