Kullu Manali Airport
Kullu Manali Airport lies at Bhuntar in India's Himachal Pradesh, in the Kullu Valley of the western Himalayas, serving the popular hill destinations of Kullu and Manali. At an elevation of about 3,573 feet, it has a single asphalt runway near 3,690 feet, a short strip hemmed in by mountains that limits operations and makes the approach a demanding one through the valley. The area is a major draw for tourists heading to the cool hills, trekking routes, and resorts of the region. The KUU code identifies this Himalayan field, offering a time-saving alternative to the long, winding road journey up from the plains to the Kullu-Manali area.
