How to reach Manali :
You can reach by road and by air. The nearest airport would be Bhuntar, which is located approximately 50 kilometers away from Manali. Also, if you are planning by road then you can reach this place by car and bike.
We have decided to go in our own car. We left Delhi at 4 AM. Initially, we were very excited but it was a long journey and the road condition was also not very good so, it became frustrating sometimes. Finally, We reached Manali around 8 PM the same day and we forgot all the tiredness.
Top 5 Places to visit in Manali :
Jogini Waterfall :
I must say this is one of the must-visit places I have seen. You can trek to this location which will take approx 2 hrs. I went to this place with family and this is not a very difficult trek. We trekked up to the higher part of the falls.
You can stay there for 1-2 hrs to feel the musical sound of falling water. On the way back you can have Maggie, a bread Omelet, and juice as a reward after this wonderful trek.
