Every New Year, Himachal Pradesh comes up with an array of festivities and aplomb to welcome the new year. It is one of the most exciting places to visit in Manali. Known as the Himachal Winter Carnival, this festival is certainly one of the most exciting and unique cultural experiences you can have.
During the month of January, there is no better time to visit Manali than now, since the popular tourist town will be celebrating its annual Manali Winter Carnival from January 2 to 6, 2024. With snow all around and the general beauty of the place, you will also have the opportunity to be a part of this grand festival and learn more about Manali’s traditions, folk culture, sports, and food as well.
There is no doubt that the Manali Winter Carnival is the first annual event to take place in Manali and back then it was mostly focused on skiing. Since Manali has some of the most excellent skiing slopes in India, it is no surprise that not only locals but also people from all over the country, visit Manali in the winter to take advantage of this popular winter sport.
I have to say that the present celebration gives equal importance to both sports and culture, and I find it to be refreshing! During the Manali Winter Carnival, a grand parade is conducted on Mall Road, where young boys and girls are dressed in traditional Himachali attire. It is a colorful event that kicks off the Carnival.
A number of activities are held as a result of the parade, including singing and folk dancing competitions, delightful street plays, and games and sports. Both the locals and tourists can participate. The carnival attracts a huge number of people from all around Manali and the neighboring towns to be a part of it.
