Places to Visit

Top Attractions in Manali

• Hadimba Temple — Set deep in a cedar grove, this wooden temple honours Hadimba from the Mahabharata and stands out for its pagoda-style roof and detailed carved facade — unlike the stone temples more common elsewhere in India. The forest setting alone makes the short walk in worthwhile.
• Solang Valley — Known mainly for paragliding and zorbing when the weather allows, and for skiing once winter snow arrives, Solang draws both adventure-seekers and travellers who just want the open mountain views. Most Manali itineraries include at least a half-day here.
• Old Manali — Across the river from the main town centre, Old Manali trades the crowded market feel for narrow lanes, small cafes and a slower rhythm. It suits an unstructured wander more than a checklist visit — there isn't one single sight to aim for.
• Vashisht Hot Springs — A short drive from central Manali, these natural sulphur springs sit within a temple complex and remain in regular use by both locals and visitors. The temple itself is worth stopping at even for those who skip the actual baths.
• Mall Road — Manali's central pedestrian street, filled with shops and small eateries, is where most evenings in town end up. It's not a monument to visit so much as a place to unwind after a day of sightseeing, especially once the lights come on.
• Naggar Castle — Built by a former ruler of Kullu, this stone-and-timber castle in Naggar village survives as one of the region's better-preserved heritage structures. Its layout and materials reflect older hill-construction methods rather than the palace style seen in the plains.
• Jogini Falls — Reached via a walking trail from near Vashisht, this waterfall is popular with travellers who want a short trek rather than a drive-up viewpoint. The forest path leading there is a genuine part of the experience, not just a means to an end.

Cab Choices

Cab Options for Manali

SUV, Innova and tempo traveller options are preferred for Manali because luggage, seating comfort and hill-road stability matter more on long routes.

• An Innova or similar SUV is the practical choice for the climb into Manali, especially with elderly passengers or small children along.
• Sedans make the trip regularly too, and work fine for two or three passengers travelling light.
• Tempo Travellers suit larger groups, though narrow lanes near Manali's town centre can limit where they park.
• Drivers familiar with this hill route pace the climb properly rather than rushing the bends.
