Start your day with a visit to the Hidimba Devi Temple, a historic temple dedicated to the Pandava brother's wife, Hidimba. After that, a further 10-minute drive will take you to the Manali Nature Park, where you can enjoy a peaceful walk amongst lush greenery and beautiful flowers. Have lunch at the park's cafe.
Set out early to enjoy some snow time in Solang Valley, where you can try skiing, snowboarding, snowmobile or trekking. Then, drive for about 30 minutes to get to Vashist Hot Springs, known for their therapeutic properties, these hot water springs are surrounded by stunning views of the mountains. After relaxing in the hot springs, explore the neighbouring temples and local shops.
Drive to Naggar Castle, an ancient fort that was once home to the kings of Kullu. This historical sight is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Next, head back to Mall Road and indulge in some shopping and food. Enjoy street food or dine at a local restaurant with amazing views of the mountains.
If you have an extra day, visit the Rohtang Pass and experience the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayan ranges. If your itinerary has fewer days, you can skip the Naggar Castle and indulge in more activities at Solang Valley like paragliding, cable car, or zorbing. For a more relaxed itinerary, spend more time at the hot springs, or go for a family picnic along the river Beas.
