If you think fun-filled activities are the highlight of Manali during winter, you are in for a surprise! Because there is delicious and sumptuous traditional food in the market that could tempt you into good habits. Though Himachal food is well known across India, its authenticity can be admired and indeed known only in the hills of Manali and around. Madra, Tudkiya Bhath, Bhey or Spicy Lotus stems, and Siddu are some of the most popular and lip-smacking delicacies to try, but it's the Mittha that hogs the limelight. Mitha is a bona fide sweet dish of Himachal Pradesh.
