Manali is a lovely spot to travel, enjoy and make memories. Being a popular tourist spot don’t miss out on Solang valley, jogini falls, Sethan valley, Hidimba temple, old Manali, shopping and tasting Thai cuisine, aloo tikki, bread pakoras and chai. Since you are travelling via a group try to enjoy the whole trip at your own pace. Travelling via a group opens your mind to lifetime friendships. Every stranger is a traveller too. Keep your belongings safe, have enough data on your mobile and relax as much as you can. Also share your trip on Tripoto platform, after your return. Happy journey.
Do carry thermals, winter coat, winter boots and some food. If you wanna do shopping, do it in old manali, it's pretty much reasonable than new manali. There is also one wholesale shop opposite to a Tibetan temple in new manali where you get gift items for wholesale rate.
