Manali History           
          Manali is a beautiful hill station in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The town of Manali has its references in several Hindu scriptures. According to myths after the great flood which devastated whole of the world, a Hindu sage called Manu landed on the earth at Manali to recreate the human life. Thus the region where he had landed came to be known as Manu -Alaya which literally means the abode of Manu. Manali is the changed name of Manu-Alaya. Old town of Manali also houses a temple dedicated to Manu.  
        Modern history of Manali goes back to the time of the British rule. It was British who transformed this pastoral land into a beautiful hill station.  British in India made Manali their summer resort. They found the climate of Manali conducive to produce apples and therefore they planted there apple orchards on large scale. Under the rule of British Manali witnessed a large scale development. After the independence of India, Manali was further developed as a beautiful tourist spot. At present Manali is among the most preferred tourist destinations in India.
