Three things that matter most.
The town is walkable; the attractions are not. Separate cafe-and-temple Manali from the Solang and tunnel circuit, then leave space for weather, traffic, and the simple pleasure of not spending the whole holiday inside a cab. For schools, CityMitra prioritises board and pedagogy, door-to-door commute, total annual cost.
Board and pedagogy
Use the same requirement when comparing every option. That keeps ranking useful and prevents attractive but irrelevant results.
