Early morning flight from Mumbai to Bhuntar (Kullu) recommended to maximise time in the valley; book BWN/Bhuntar flights in advance as May is busy. Flight time around 1h30m–2h.
Visit the historic Manikaran Gurudwara and the natural hot springs where locals and pilgrims bathe; springs and langar are open daily (approx 4:00AM–10:00PM).
Moderate 2–3 hour trek (return) to Serolsar Lake near Jalori Pass — scenic alpine lake and temple; trail usually accessible from early morning until late afternoon.
Short drive to the hamlet of Sethan or a nearby meadow where seasonal igloo-style stays/glamping are run; availability is seasonal—book in advance. The experience is a novelty glamping/igloo dome with wood-fired warmth.
Leisurely 2–3 hour walk through Shoja’s dense pine forests and trails; ideal for birding, photography and peaceful forest bathing (do during daylight 6:00AM–6:00PM).
Drive up to Jalori Pass (approx 45–60 minutes from Shoja) for panoramic views and quick photo stops; road usually open during daytime but check local conditions.
