How safe is Manali for female travelers?

Family travel

It was THE BEST. I mean personally I've never seen any snowfall because I'm a south indian, ive mostly never roamed north india. And trust me, it was like EVERYTHING WAS FALLING INTO PLACE. The snowfall started just when we arrived. It was a great opportunity to connect with my family too. In the past trips, there's something missing. Like I've never felt so connected to my family before the manali trip. Maybe that's why it's so special to me.

Manali is a very beautiful and picturesque place to go. From mountains to cafes to straight food to shopping, everything is just a beautiful experience. We booked an Airbnb and the hosts were super amazing and helped us out with showing around places and recommending some really good stuff. 10/10 a must visit.

I had a wonderful trip with my friends and family, exploring Himachal Pradesh starting from Amritsar. We experienced snowfall in Sissu and enjoyed all the activities, making unforgettable memories. Our trip ended in Delhi.

It's pretty safe for women and you don't feel hassled with anything. If you even find one or two odd people they won't be local and would be tourists whenever I have come across anything. People are generally helpful.
