History of Manila Uttarakhand
Not many know that Manila village of Uttarakhand is more than just another lesser-known hill station. The lesser known Katyuri Kingdom once flourished in this offbeat place to visit in Uttarakhand. On my Uttrakhand trip with friends, I visited many monuments built by Katyuri kings such as Katarmal Surya Temple and Jageshwar Mandir near Kasar Devi.
Katyuri Kings were very powerful and their influence spread over a large area. They left behind some of the most beautiful Hindu Temples of Bharat. Manila was also under their control.
Altitude of Manila, Uttarakhand
Manila Uttarakhand is perched on an elevation of 5971 foot or 1,820 metres. I have been to several high-altitude terrains in Nepal, India and Tibet during Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Compared to them the altitude of Manila of Uttarakhand is very low.
Altitude of Manila means that in summer it is still going to be cooler than the great North Indian plains and in winters, Manila become as cold as Mussoorie, Shimla and Manali but minus the crowd, of course.
Himalayan Peaks near Manila, Uttarakhand.
Can I see Himalayn peaks from Manila Uttarakhand? It is a commonly asked question. The tiny village of Manila in Uttarakhand, India, offers breath taking views of the Indian Himalaya mountains such as the famous Panchachuli, Nanda Devi and Mount Trishul.
On a clear day, you can easily have a breath-taking view of these Himalayan giants from Manila Uttarakhand.
The lower Himalayas of Kumaon have a charm of its own. Trishul Parbat is the tallest Himalayan Mountain here while Panchachuli range of mountains are 5 mountains located close to each other.
The best part of viewing the Himalayan range is that you get to see unobstructed wide view of the snow-capped mountains. These jaw-dropping panoramic views of Himalayan giants will leave you gasping.
The probability of having the best view of Himalayan peaks rises in the winter months. The view is clear and not hazy unlike other months. However, some times the mighty Himalayan mountains may remain hidden due to fog in winter. This is why Manila is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.
Ratkhal market is a good vantage point for sweeping views of Indian Himalayan peaks.
Soul Window Observations
While visiting the terai regions of my home state Uttar Pradesh, I realised that many people, including me, mostly visit upper Himalayan regions of India, Bhutan and Nepal. But have we tried to visit the terai regions which lie in the foothills of Himalayas? The weather and landscape in these regions are very unique.
You can read my blogs on Lumbini and Chitwan National Park of Nepal, Dudhwa National Park of India, Kapilvastu aka Piparahwa, Kushinagar and Shravasti in the Buddhist Circuit of Uttar Pradesh. These are some of the most unique places on Earth. Did you also known about the very special and fragrant Kala Namak Rice grown in terai belt of Uttar Pradesh?
Sun Rise and Sun Set in Manila Uttarakhand
Manila Uttarakhand is also one of the best places to experience surreal dawns and dusks. It is very common in Manila to see crimson-coloured skies during sun set in Manila, Uttarakhand. Do not miss seeing the famous Panchachuli Peaks around sunset. The golden glow on the white mountains looks surreal. So is the view of Trishul Peak.
Early mornings in Manila are breathtakingly gorgeous as well. Expect a riot of colours in the sky as sun rises in Manila, Uttarakhand. On a lucky day, you can also see a rainbow in Manila.
Soul Window Travel Tip
If you want to appreciate or shoot the pictures of the golden glow of Himalayan peaks, you must park your car on any road just before sun set and wait for the magic of nature to unfold. Such views are also visible from KMVN rest house during sun rise.
The deep red and orange sky reminded me of a surreal sun set I saw in Dzukou Valley in Nagaland in North Eastern India. I trekked here after attending Hornbill festival and visiting places like Kohima and heritage village Khonoma.

Winter
I know so many people who avoid hill stations in winter, fearing extreme cold. Yes, cold it is in winter as I experienced during my winter trips to places in Sikkim, Mechuka, Basar etc in Arunachal Pradesh and Longwa, Mon of Nagaland in North East India.
But the cold didn’t really make it unpleasant. I enjoy traveling to cold places in winter unless they have hot shower and hot water (and honestly even if not!). Drive carefully in winter, as sudden fogs and mist in New Delhi and Uttarakhand is very common in winter.

The temperature of Manila hovers around 20 degrees Celsius in summers, which is very pleasant than the plains which become hot furnace.
