MANALI- HILL STATION BEYOND MALL ROAD

Tripoto

For some answer for this line is mountains, and if you are one of them then manali is just the right place for you.

Are you an adventure lover? Are you looking for peaceful place away from all the hustle and bustle? OR are you just looking for just a weekend getaway?

Manali has it all...

In this video you can watch my solo trip to manali

HOW TO REACH HERE?

There are two ways through which you can reach here ie. , airways and roadways, but in my opinion coming here through road is the best way as you will get a scenic view from your window seat with snow caped mountains and a rushing river on one side. A volvo bus from chandigarh will cost you around RS 1000 and airplane ticket will cost you around RS6000 from chandigarh to kullu.

ACCOMODATION?

Traveling solo or with friends? What about hostels? manali has a wide range of hostels, from backpackers panda to zostel, they all are in manali at a super affordable price starting from RS299.

view from common room of backpackers panda manali

I had my best time in this hostel and shared a lot of memories in the common room as sitting in the common room of any hostel is a great way to socialize and meet new and amazing people.

Bonus: if you are traveling with friends, then book a hostel in old manali.

THINGS TO DO Wondering what's so special about this place?

Well the answer is in it's environment....Fresh air, snow caped mountains, sound of flowing river.

So now you have reached here and have a place to sleep, now what next?

From worshiping temples to getting lost in the forest....from a himachali village to waterfalls.... now ready to play in snow and be a kid again?

Come to solang valley and take the rope way worth RS 600 and get on the top of the mountains. Just be aware of the scammers you will find there who will convince you to rent fancy snow suits, DON'T FALL FOR IT.
