As the earth dried up there came up a place of breathtaking beauty which was named after the great sage. Over the last decade Manali has grown from a back of the beyond Himachali town to a busy tourist destination bustling with as many as 1000 hotels. It is the center of a flourishing orchard industry, a popular honeymoon destination and trailhead for numerous treks.
