Winter carnival Manali
This year, the winter carnival promises a slew of attractions for the tourists to make it success. Apart from the traditional folk dances and dramas, the winter carnival offers good feats including snow sports and other competitions for tourists. The organisers will select Winter Queen and Mr Manali during the carnival, which is also open for tourists.
To make the carnival a special attraction the district administration has tied up with the Western Himalaya Institute of Mountaineering and Trekking and Allied Sports, Manali to organise winter games.
The SDM, Manali and President Winter Carnival Mr Vinay Thakur says that over 9 different cultural events would feature in the carnival. The Punjabi pop singer Mikka, Star Idol finalist Anuj Sharma and other artistes would give their performances during the cultural nights. "One cultural night would be sponsored by the Doordarshan", he adds.
As the snow remains the prime attraction for tourists during winter season, the winter carnival will feature a slew of snow sports, including skiing competitions for the sub-juniors and juniors at Solang Nallah ski resort about 15 kms from Manali.
Though the ski resort experienced snowfall last week but if the weather god obliges, an extra spell of snow around the New Year would come as a harbinger of more tourists, giving an extra boost to the winter carnival and snow games in Manali.
The panel of judges will choose the Winter Queen during the winter carnival. The competition is open for all including tourists. "The idea is to ensure tourists interaction with local residents to cultivate a good relation and hospitality. After all, Manali is a tourist town", comment tourism officials.
