    A superb week exploring Manali. This was my first visit to Manali, and it was great. We had a tour manager and an expert guide from Broza Adventures. The hotel was fantastic, full of character, quiet & and private. The itinerary was properly made and a mix of every experience that we generally want in our lives. There was free time for us to explore more things while trekking, and there was guidance on how to use the free time we had. All in all a great week.
