The Banon Family

An Irish soldier, Captain A.T. Banon, settled in the Manali during the 1850s. He married a lady from Garhwal and planted the first apple orchard in the valley. A farsighted man, he brought in a variety of fruit plants to the Kullu Valley and pioneered the fruit industry in the region. His descendants built roads, bridges, generated their own electricity - which, incidentally, was also supplied to the circuit house during the late Indian Prime Minister Pandit Nehru's visits. It was the Banons who established the tourism industry here by launching the first guest house in the Kullu Valley.

 
Location
