Swimming pools, waterslides, and a Jacuzzi are available at the fitness casino,internet cafe,library,theater for children (shows, entertainment ...)
The majority of the amenities are free to use. Surcharges for spas, casinos, and the internet are common.

AnswerWishlist (1)Well... uttarakhand is prominent choice for so many people after the professional retirement. most popular choices are dehradun ,haldwani ,pant nagar etc.because these places connected with all major cities in India through railway, roads, airways. but as you said you not interested popular & chaotic places. then some other good & less popular option would be small cities in Uttrakhand like Lansdowne, ramgarh, bhimtal, ram nagar & many more. if you take my opinion dehradun & haldwani would be the best. just try to buy your property little bit out of the city. you will get peace & you will be connected at the same time. 🙏
UpvoteCommentSome best hill stations of Uttarakhand you can consider to settle down are
Naukuchiatal peaceful town
Kausani Himalayas village
Chaukori picturesque Lohagat peaceful life

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.
