About Winter Carnival

The Manali Winter Carnival, a cherished tradition since 1977, transforms the snow-clad valley into a vibrant celebration of Himachali culture and winter tourism. This five-day extravaganza seamlessly weaves together cultural performances, winter sports, and traditional arts, creating a magical atmosphere where ancient Himalayan heritage meets contemporary festivities.

As a cornerstone event in Himachal Pradesh’s cultural calendar, the carnival not only preserves and promotes local traditions but also serves as a dynamic platform that brings together artists, athletes, and visitors from across India, making it an essential celebration of the region’s rich cultural tapestry and natural beauty.
