Perfect for honeymooners, families, and snow seekers alike, Kashmir is where winter dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manali\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manali\"><\/span><strong>Manali<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Few places capture the essence of a December long weekend holiday like Manali.
