Manali is almost 2050 m above sea level and is pretty cold. Here temperature easily drops below freezing point. This is a small picturesque hamlet with orchards full of apples.

Manali is famous for the shining Buddhist gomphas or monasteries. The monasteries are maintained by the donations of the local community that comprises of Tibetan refugees. The Museum of Traditional Himalayan Culture near Hidimba Temple is truly worth a visit. In the museum you will see folk arts that are made in the entire Kullu valley.
