The food we eat in a city tastes better when we have it on a hill station.' This candid comment reflects the aura of a hill station. India happens to be a powerhouse in terms of the number and variety of hill stations it accommodates.
Every hill station has more or less the same geographical features on a broader sense; still there is a unique USP which catches a person's fascination. Now that hill stations' attractions have engorged to accommodate anything and everything which also includes golf courses and medium sized fun motor races (go karting), people have moved their attention from beaches to new reaches the hill stations.
For a common Indian, Kullu Manali stands for snow and chilly winters, but for those lucky souls who have had the opportunity to experience the Kullu Manali life; it is something like an etched-in-their-mind kind of an experience. It is said that mornings and evenings in Manali are special, as during these times golden sun rays provide a brilliant panoramic view. This photogenic experience has been trapped into covers of many geographical magazines.
Villages during the tour offer a foretaste of how traditions and customs are followed beautifully in mountain villages of India.
