Manali is one of the most popular hill stations in India at the foot of the Himalayas at 2000 meters with a very exotic cultural blend of its own...
The friendly idyll of the snowy hills
has something over it of deep intrigue,
while nomads, outcasts, sadhus,
hippies, trekkers and adventurers
flock here to some of them remain for life,
a sacred haven for the seekers
with exotic access to such places of notoriety
as Manikaran and Malana up the Parvati,
the valley of the lost and those desiring oblivion,
like all those pathetic Israelis after three years'
heavy and traumatic military service,
going on the loose here only to forget about their situation,
like so many others here with their lost lives.
There certainly are stories here to tell and to discover
and to learn concerning destiny and the whole situation
of the definite predicament of all humanity.

The Magic of Manali
The friendly idyll of the snowy hills
has something over it of deep intrigue,
while nomads, outcasts, sadhus,
hippies, trekkers and adventurers
flock here to some of them remain for life,
a sacred haven for the seekers
with exotic access to such places of notoriety
as Manikaran and Malana up the Parvati,
the valley of the lost and those desiring oblivion,
like all those pathetic Israelis after three years'
heavy and traumatic military service,
going on the loose here only to forget about their situation,
like so many others here with their lost lives.
There certainly are stories here to tell and to discover
and to learn concerning destiny and the whole situation
of the definite predicament of all humanity.
