DirectRooms.com – Tourists head to Manali for Baisakhi Festival

The Sikh celebration of Baisakhi - also known as Vaisakhi - draws on traditional harvest thanks to create a carnival which celebrates faith and renewed Springtime energy through the mediums of dance, music and eating.

Manali is located in the north of India where the Punjab states and cities tend to host the parties and parades which attract foreign tourists over to see and experience Baisakhi. The town operates in the main as a gateway to the Himalayas mountain range and as such is home to some of the most spectacular scenery on earth.

Cheap Manali hotels can be at a premium around the Baisakhi festival period, meaning that advance booking online having compared deals is the sensible move. In addition to taking in the sights and sounds of the Sikh religious festival, fun winter sports can be done from a Manali base, including Yak Skiing and hiking to remote Buddhist temples in Tibet with the aid of a guide.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com comments: "Baisakhi is one of those unusual and not so well known festivals which nevertheless is gaining a reputation as a must-see for intrepid travellers. To make the most of a trip to see the Sikh celebration and indulge in some winter or extreme sports, we advise early booking of accommodation to get the deals and availability."
