While booking your hotel, ask the hotelier if you can get the hotel for better prices online. I was able to get an AC room with a good view for 300 rs per night. Use government buses to commute. Try to avoid taking rickshaws or cabs for small distances and rather walk a few km, it will save you a LOT.
Hi Vasil Travel by bus and stay in hostels if you want budget trip. Places to visit:
1. Hidimba Temple
2. Vashistha hot springs
3. Solang Valley
4. Rohtang Pass
5. Mall Road
6. Old Manali
You can travel via public transport or by own motorcycle if you like,it will save money. try to find budget hotels and bargain with them,you can easily find good hotel rooms starting from 500 rs. avoid restraunts,try small dhabas and shops
Cost will depends on tour duration and how many of you are going. This time isn't safe to visit Manali.Make your plan during summer.
If you start your journey from or via Delhi, then book AC volvo via HPTDC by there office, there service are good. it will take 1500/- per head. Book hotels via MMT on kanhal road. 2km away from mall road. for local side seen book local auto or those places are also walking distance. another day book a cab for solang vally and rotang pass. it'll cost you few bucks. we booked a cab to solang, will cost us 1200/-.
