History of Manali Winter Carnival:<\/strong><\/p>

\"Skiing<\/p>

Winter Carnival was first celebrated in 1977. In fact, Winter Carnival is the brainchild of Harnam Singh, the founder of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sport who thought carnival was the need of the region to bring snow sports to the spotlight.<\/p>

It started with skiing competitions in the Solang valley. The initiative was a big hit and started attracting sports fans. To give skiing a further boost and attract tourists, cultural events were organized simultaneously with the skiing competitions.<\/p>
