| Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India. |
 |
From our trip around North India. October
2006.
Manali is named after the Brahmin lawgiver
Manu. The word Manali literally means "the
abode of Manu". Legend has it that sage Manu
stepped off his ark in Manali to recreate
human life after a great flood had deluged
the world. Manali is known as the "Valley of
the Gods". The Old Manali village has an
ancient temple dedicated to sage Manu.
Manali, (alt. 1,950 m or 6,398 ft) in the
Beas River valley, is an important hill
station in the Himalayan mountains of
Himachal Pradesh, India, near the northern
end of the Kullu Valley. It is
administratively a part of the Kullu
District. The population is approx. 30,000.
The small town was the beginning of an
ancient trade route to Ladakh and, from
there, over the Karakoram Pass on to Yarkand
and Khotan in the Tarim Basin. Manali and its
surrounding areas are of great significance
to the Indian culture and heritage as it was
the home and abode of the Saptarshi or seven
sages. The ancient cave temple, Hidimba Devi
Temple, is not far from town. Manali is a
popular Himalayan tourist destination and
accounts for nearly a quarter of all tourist
arrivals in Himachal Pradesh. It is visited
by many trekkers who follow the hashish
trail. Manali's charas is considered to be
the best in India. The valleys provide
natural U.V lights as fields are high up the
mountain and high grade grows directly from
the sunlight.ala. Manali's cool atmosphere
provides a perfect haven for the ones
afflicted by the hot Indian summers. It is
famous for adventure sports like skiing,
hiking, mountaineering, para gliding,
rafting, trekking, kayaking, and mountain
biking. It also offers hot springs,
spectacular religious shrines and temples,
Tibetan Buddhist temples, and trekking in the
surrounding mountains...

| A musical journey of Arunachal Pradesh |
 |
Arunachal Pradesh is a state in north-eastern
India. For more information you can visit.
www.arunachalpradesh.nic.in
Note: Many people have expressed their
concerns regarding the portrayal of the state
as unknown to its own countrymen. I would
like to thank those for their inputs made
through several comments. Actually the video
is not directed to Indians rather it is
directed to Non-indians, as I realized that
the state is pretty much unknown outside
India. In the process of making the video I
have assumed that at least every educated
Indian would be aware of the states and
geography of India. I guess I was rather
ambiguous in informing as to who my intended
audience was.
