Old Manali, the village from which the modern
town takes its name, lies 2 km north of the Mall, on the far side of the Manalsu
nala. Unlike its crowded, concrete offspring, the settlement retains an
unhurried and traditional feel. The village-clustered on top of a steepy
shevling ledge of level ground above the nala is also known as Manaligarh after
an ancient citadel - a ruined fort and a cluster of houses built in Pahari
style. |
