Kullu:
Kullu was once known as "Kulanthpitha" ; 'The end of the habitable
world'. Beyond rose the forbidding heights of the Greater Himalayas, and
by the banks of the shining river
 Beas, lay the fabled 'Silver Valley'.
Kullu got its first motorable access only after Independence. The long
centuries of seclusion has however allowed the area to retain a
considerable measure of its traditional charm. Here is the core of an
intricate web of numerous valleys - each of which is a visual delight
and seems more beautiful than the other. The 'Silver Valley' has
nature's treasures that lie carelessly scattered as flowers on the high
meadows. There is pleasure in every step you take in these enchanted
valleys and in every gurgle you hear in the clear mountain streams.
Manali:
40 kms. away from Kulu to the north, Manali is situated n ear the end of
the valley on the National Highway leading to Leh. The landscape here is
breath taking. One sees well-defined snow capped peaks, the Beas river
with its clear water meanders through the town. On the other side are
deodar and pine trees, tiny fields and fruit orchards. It is an
excellent place for a holiday, a favorite resort for trekkers to Lahaul,
Spiti, Kinnaur, Leh and Zanskar regions in Kashmir valley. It is known
as the SWITZERLAND OF INDIA.
