Description

Begin your journey in the crisp mountain air of Manali as your guide picks you up from your hotel. Head to the iconic Hadimba Devi Temple, a 16th-century wooden marvel built amidst a dense cedar forest. As you approach the temple, the towering deodars and the distant sound of prayer bells create a mystical atmosphere. Admire the temple’s intricate wooden façade, peaceful surroundings, and soft forest floor. Spend time learning about its history, walking around the serene pathways, and absorbing the charm of this ancient marvel. Continue toward Old Manali, where narrow stone paths lead you to the sacred Manu Temple. This temple holds immense mythological significance as it is believed to be the meditation site of Sage Manu, the creator of mankind. The climb offers stunning glimpses of Old Manali’s rustic life—traditional wooden homes, cafés, apple orchards, and snow-covered peaks in the distance. Inside the temple, the peaceful ambiance and panoramic valley views help you connect with the spiritual soul of the mountains. Next, head toward Vashisht Village, famous for its natural hot water springs. The village has two ancient temples dedicated to Sage Vashisht and Lord Rama. The therapeutic hot springs are believed to have healing properties, and many visitors take a refreshing dip or simply enjoy the warmth rising from the pools. The surrounding village lanes, lined with traditional homes and small cafés, add to the charm of this stop. After exploring the spiritual side of Manali, your tour takes a cultural turn with a visit to the Tibetan Monastery located near Mall Road. The serene courtyard, spinning prayer wheels, and brightly colored murals depicting Tibetan stories create a peaceful environment. The monastery also features small shops where you can purchase handicrafts, prayer flags, and Tibetan art—beautiful keepsakes of your visit. Following the cultural segment, enjoy a refreshing break at Van Vihar Nature Park, a lush green sanctuary in the middle of town. Tall deodar trees form a natural canopy, and small pathways lead you through shaded forests. Relax by the small lake, take a quiet walk along the wooden bridges, or simply sit on a bench and enjoy the fresh mountain breeze. The soothing rustle of leaves and occasional bird calls make this one of the most relaxing places in Manali. Midway through the tour, enjoy free time on Mall Road, the bustling heart of the town. Here you can explore local shops offering woolens, pashmina shawls, Tibetan jewelry, and traditional Himachali handicrafts. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a cozy café or restaurant—many offer panoramic mountain views along with local dishes, continental fare, and warm beverages perfect for the mountain weather.
