Where time stands still

At the edge of India's northern frontier, nestled in the embrace of the Himalayas, lies Mana—a village where antiquity and natural splendour converge. Mana Village holds a special place in the hearts of pilgrims and adventurers alike, serving as the last inhabited village before the Indo-China border and the mythical land of the gods - Badrinath. 

 

When you traverse the winding mountain roads that lead to Mana, a sense of anticipation builds in the air, heightened by the awe-inspiring vistas that unfold before your eyes. The journey itself is an adventure, with every twist and turn revealing new wonders and breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and lush alpine meadows.

 

As the Saraswati River rushes past and prayer flags flutter in the crisp air, Mana offers you a rare glimpse into a world where the rhythms of nature and the echoes of mythology still guide daily life.

Embracing cultural heritage

Stepping foot into Mana Village feels like stepping back in time, as centuries-old traditions and customs are preserved and celebrated with unwavering reverence. The village is dotted with ancient stone houses adorned with intricately carved wooden balconies, each bearing witness to the rich cultural tapestry of the region. Local residents, dressed in traditional garb, welcome visitors with warm smiles and open hearts, eager to share their stories and traditions passed down through generations. From vibrant festivals and colourful rituals to age-old handicrafts and folk music, Mana Village is a living museum of Himalayan culture, inviting travellers to immerse themselves in its timeless charm.
