If you are looking forward to witness the beauty of Dhauladhar range of mountains and want to experience the fun of layers of now, Sethan is the place.

 It is located at about 15 kms from Manali and is known for its offbeat location which leaves you spell bound with its beauty and gives you a memorable experience through the activities of rock climbing and bouldering. Every season provides a different type of fun here.

During the summer months of June to October – the place is ideal for hikes and camping. In fact, during summers you can embark on multiple day treks here and make the most of your trip by going to farthest ends and exploring the hidden beauty of nature.

In summers it's quite easy to reach, as the vehicle moments is very easy on the well built roads. But in winters you need to be extra cautious as the layers of snow on the roads make the roads slippery, making it hard to grip and so difficult to drive. So plan your trip in winters only if you can drive well or going with a commercial driver. Replacing the vehicle with two wheelers won't help much as the two wheelers skid more than 4x4 vehicles and so it will add on to the risk factor only. So get power packed with winter clothes and drive safely with caution on these slippery places.

But once you reach there and are lucky enough to witness the fresh falling slow with mesmerizing views of the Dhauladhar ranges, I am sure this is going to be an unforgettable experience for you.
