Introduction
I recently flew from Delhi (VIDP) to
Kullu-Manali (VIBR) in an Air India ATR 72-600 (VT-AII).
VIBR is located at Bhuntar, Himachal Pradesh, at an elevation of 3,573 feet. It has a single 1,125 m long runway (16/34) alongside the Beas river in the Kullu valley. The valley is approximately 2 km wide at Bhuntar, surrounded by hills that are more than 4,000 feet higher than the runway.
