The great Himalaya is at approximately 50 Km the air distance from Manila and the full range of Himalaya is visible so from left to right 180 degree view is of snow covered mountains and the other hills of Himalaya range.in fact all the hills of this place are a part of Himalaya and full of herbal plants.
Everything you see or feel is clean and fresh. Clear blue sky, pollution free fresh air with plenty of oxygen to breath in ,natural mineral water which tastes great,peaceful environment, voice of birds and other wild animals .
This is the place to feel nature. However this place is well connected by road but the public transport is limited.the bus timings are fixed and very well known to the residents of this place and enough for their daily needs.since traffic is very limited so no air or noise pollution because of the traffic.
Everyone has some basic questions about a new place if planning holidays. I will try to answer all of these.
Why to visit Manila?
Well, Manila is a peaceful hill region with lush green mountains. The great Himalaya view is awesome and the real experience of living in hills can be felt here. sit anywhere alone ,listen the music of nature and see the colorful plants, trees, beautiful homes ,the chain of mountains one after another everything you see will fill you with seamless joy and change your mind to the real purpose of life. You will talk to yourself and try to find out the purpose of life .You have no cycle, motor bike or auto rickshaw to move around so you have the only option to walk in and this is the best thing about this place.
You will wonder that even after covering a distance of 2-3 km. there is no feeling of tiredness or energy loss. Every step you take will be more energetic and full of joy and energy. You are alone or with friends or relatives ,every second you spend there will be a lifetime memory and unforgettable time for you.
Imagine that you are just standing roadside and there is a series of mountains in front of you. These mountains are full of long green trees and some homes are there and a visible way to reach these homes. 1 or 2 peoples are going to their homes by these narrow ways. somewhere very far on the second mountain which is on the top of the first one someone is calling to his son to come to home to take the cows to the forest for grazing.3 or 4 different types of birds voice is coming to your ears. the snow is sinning on the mountains of Himalaya. You think to reach Himalaya but then realize that there are a number of mountains before Himalaya which you go through to reach the Himalaya.
Then you start counting the mountains 1,2,3….8 and then you start thinking the distance of Himalaya from you and guess that it is around 10 km if you go by air. Suddenly you hear a sound from the bushes and notice that something is there. you look carefully and make a guess that rabbits can be there.
A big smile comes to your lips and excites you when you see a pair of white rabbits playing on their own. you start walking to the street and every step delights you. Wherever you go and whatever you see will be a magical and lifelong memory.
Manila Mandir is the famous and oldest temple there by which name this place is known as Manila. There are 2 temples with the same name one is called manna manila mandir and other talla manila mandir or only manila mandir. Talla manila mandir is the oldest and famous for its blessings. A lot of very old sayings are there about this temple and these stories will amaze you a very divine feel you experience when you enter this temple.
Each and every moment of Manila will change your thinking about life and make you feel the beauty of nature. But yes, if you are willing to go this place for only a photo shoot or need a luxury party type facility then it is advised not to go there.
When to visit Manila?
The summer season is best to visit Manila. However, you can visit any season there but in summer you can explore more because of the wonderful climate. April to October is the best time to visit. However, if you wish to enjoy the snow fall and love the winter season then December and January month will be best. 25 December to 15 January is the most possible time for snowfall.
How to reach Manila?
Manila is at a distance of 300 Km from Delhi and well connected by road. Moradabad, Kashipur and Ramnagar are 3 main cities between Delhi and Manila. There are 2 ways to reach Manila. First one is by road and second one by train.

If you prefer public transport then direct buses are available from Delhi to manila or vice versa. Every day 7:00 PM from Anand vihar interstate bus terminal bus departs for manila and reaches there 5 AM next day. This is the best option and local residents of this place prefer this public transport. You can opt for other options if you are not willing to travel at night. Another option is, take the bus from Anand vihar interstate bus terminal for any intermediate city. Preferably for Ramnagar For Ramnagar after every 2 hour and for Moradabad after every 1 hour bus service is available. So get any bus and reach to Ramanagar from Ramnagar buses and cab/taxi are available for manila.
If you have your own vehicle or prefer to hire the taxi, then it will take around 6 hours to reach Ramanagar (from Delhi) and then another 2 hours for Manila.

You can get the hotels very easily there. No need for any prior booking. The hotels are not so luxurious so they are not costly. You will get north Indian food both veg and non veg. There are 2 places where you can choose to stay.one is Dotiyal which is the start point of Manila and another one 4 Km ahead of it known as puriyachauda. puriya chauda will be best to stay as it is just in front of great Himalaya.
