Why Manali Should Be Your Next Mountain Getaway – And Where to Stay for the Best Views

A hill dream – the story of Neelima

Neelima was a Delhi girl who was busy with a corporate job. Every day, her life was tied in a single routine between meetings, emails and traffic. But one day, seeing the cloud out of the office window, she got a thought in her mind – “Now I just want a mountain. I want peace. I want some time for myself.”

Manali Mountains View

And the story of his Manali Yatra started from here.

Start of journey – Delhi to Manali

Neelima quickly chose a long weekend, packed the bag and left for Manali from Delhi. Changing views on the way, roads along the river and the cold wind of the mountains made him realize that he had taken the right decision.


Manali – Where every breath is full of freshness: Manali – Where every breath is full of freshness

As soon as Neelima reached Manali, she was enchanted by seeing the greenery spread all around, snow -covered mountains and flowing Beas river. There was a different comfort in the air here – no noise, no crowd, just peace in the lap of nature.

Where to stay – the most beautiful viewing hideout: Neelima chose a place from which she saw snowy peaks of the Himalayas, snow-covered cedar trees, and the first rays of the sun. It was not a crowded hotel, but a small wooden homestay-a mountain outside the window, and the scent of hot tea inside.

Experiences that do not tied in words: She sat in the local cafe, drinking warm chocolate on a wooden chair. Visited old temples, roamed the streets of Mall Road, and most special – Jogini Falls and Solang Valley’s hike.

But the most memorable moments were when she was just sitting in the balcony of her room, with a book and tea – and the Himalayas in front with all their beauty.

Neelima says: “Manali is not just a travel destination, it is a touching place to the soul. And if you stay in the right place, then every morning looks like a new poem.”

So now it’s your turn …

If you also want to take a break from your busy life like Neelima, want to join yourself again, and want to feel the real mountain peace – then Manali should be your next stop.
