The adventure activities and sports which take place in this land of mystic charm, attract thousands of tourists each year.
  6. Is Kullu better than Manali?

    No, as a valley, Kullu does not have much to offer to tourists, who will not require more than a few hours to traverse the beauty of the landscape, shop for woollen shawls and caps and observe the beautiful greenery around the valley. On the other hand, Manali offers greater thrill to visitors.
  7. Why Kullu Manali is famous?

    Kullu Manali is a picturesque valley and hill station, which is unique in the landscape and tourist spots that they offer. One can find ample places and temples to visit in Kullu Manali, which are not to be spotted elsewhere, making the place popular among travellers and vacationers.
  8. Is Kullu Manali safe?

    The recent natural devastation of Kedarnath and incidents of landslides and thunderstorms in Uttarakhand might have left people in doubt about the safety of visiting the hill station. However, early warning systems can alert tourists of any incoming calamity so there is nothing to be afraid of, when you visit the hill station.
  9. Which is the best time to visit Kullu Manali?

    The winter season between the months of October to February and the summer season between the months of March until June are considered to be the best time to visit Kullu Manali.
  10. Which is better place to stay Kullu or Manali?

    Kullu is generally warmer than Manali and falls short of options for accommodation and sightseeing. Tourists who wish to experience the true delight of the weather at the hill station should stay at Manali where they will also find a variety of budget and opulent hotels to stay at.
  11. How many days need in Manali?

    Manali can be covered in around 3 to 4 days including all the major tourist attractions and places of visit. You can pick a tour to benefit from an itinerary for your trip.

Karthik Karthik Hampta Pass Trekking
Excellent
"The Hampta Pass Trek is a Total bliss. You get high with the mountains..the scenic views; the hot Maggie's and definitely with Snow. But also it's a moderate level; as I was a bit towards the heavier body persons,there were very little difficulties..otherwise it's the best one could ever do; to embrace Life."

Thanks to Thrillophilia for providing such an amazing and thrilling package in Manali. It was really an awesome experience. The camps and amenities were fantastic. My friends and I enjoyed trekking with our guide Chetan bhaiya. He is very caring and nice guy. Our evening was well spent around a mesmerising bonfire and DJ music. It was like a treat for everyone. Food served was good. The splendour view of mountains covered with snow and enchanting waterfall rejuvenates yourselves like anything. Infact, river rafting was a chilling experience in the cold!! I would recommend others to try such wonderful camping and spend their time in the lap of nature away from busy and chaotic routine life. It is really worth enjoying!

Mukul Mishra Chandratal Trek
Excellent
Hampta Pass was my first multiple day trek and I had an amazing experience overall. The base points like Chika, Jwara, Balu ka Ghera are all placed very well from each other and serve as a perfect checkpoints for the overall trek. Our trek started on 14th Oct and due to snowfall our group could not complete the trek and we had to come back from somewhere near Blau ka Jheel. So my advice would be to plan this trek before September end otherwise it gets too cold and you can't even compete the trek. But apart from this, the Hampta Pass Trek is thoroughly enjoyable with scenes that feel straight out of some fairytale or wallpapers. As for beginners, this trek is easy-to-moderate with only very few tough patches. Happy Trekking!

Balamani Mishra Manali To Leh Cycling Tour
Excellent
Fantabulous time spent in the lap of the mountains, our entire cycling group had gone together and we enjoyed immensely. The cycling trip was really difficult at some time but the feel of it was really good. so positivity and cycling through high passes and snow clad peaks was really good. even the camping was good. after a long day of cycling they served us really good food everyday . The group leaders were also very helpful and were able to handle the fairly large group with utmost ease.
