However, many of the activities and attractions in Manali can be quite risky, especially during severe weather conditions like flooding or natural disasters like landslides. Before you set out on your trip, make sure to check the weather and the road conditions to better prepare for your destination.
01. Solang Valley
There, visitors can ski and snowboard from January to March, and a 1.3-kilometer gondola takes them up to the runs. Paragliding gains popularity once the snow melts. However, keep in mind that there are safety concerns and that it is not well regulated (people have died in the past).
In addition, many visitors to Solang Valley skip the adventure-seekers in favor of experiencing a taste of culture by going to the Shiva temple above the village. You can ride a pony there if you don’t want to walk up to it.
02. Rohtang Pass
It frequently experiences bad weather due to its high elevation of around 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). Snow, particularly when it has already cleared from other locations, is Rohtang Pass’s main draw. Sadly, there are no visitor facilities and poor waste management. Additionally, there is a limit on the number of vehicles, and in order to visit, a permit must be obtained at least a day in advance.
However, when there is snow on the ground, there are a lot of snowsports to choose from once you reach the Rohtang Pass. You can also stop by Beas Kund, an igloo-shaped temple on top of Rohtang Pass with a spring that is where the Beas River gets its name.
03. Old Manali
Old Manali is an easygoing explorer place, and the street here is fixed with guesthouses, bistros, and little shops — ideal for relaxing and watching the world go by. According to Hindu mythology, the sage Manu was the first man created by God. The Manu temple is located right at the top and is dedicated to him. The scenic, steep walk to get there is well worth the views.
04. Hadimba Temple
There are also yak rides and enormous, fluffy angora rabbits that are happy to pose for pictures. Moreover, an entrancing three-day sanctuary celebration happens here in mid-May consistently, and individuals from everywhere the locale come to go to it.
05. Manali Nature Park
The transcending trees of Manali Nature Park give a thick safeguard from the rest of the world, giving the recreation area a mysterious, otherworldly feel. If you’re done hiking through Manali Nature Park, you can continue your exploration of the area’s natural beauty at Van Vihar Park, which is a similar park with an entrance near Manali town.
