A honeymoon in Manali must include a visit to the Rohtang Pass. This mountain pass connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys. The scenic drive up offers picturesque views of the Great Himalayas and the surrounding landscape. Once there, enjoy the fresh mountain air and snow-capped peaks. If the weather permits, you can try skiing and snowboarding.
Begin your day by visiting Hadimba Temple, an ancient cave temple dedicated to Devi Hadimba, wife of Bhima from the epic Mahabharata. Surrounded by tall cedar trees, it showcases unique architecture and woodwork. After that, head to Solang Valley to experience adventure activities like paragliding, zorbing, skiing, and more. The valley also has a ropeway that provides panoramic views of the valley and mountains.
Visit the beautiful Vashisht Temple known for its hot-water springs and medicinal properties. Spend some relaxing time in the hot-water bath and then head to Jogini Falls. It’s a serene waterfall along the Vashisht Jogini Waterfalls Trek. The trek is an easy one, and the view of the waterfall amidst beautiful scenery is worth it.
Visit the Naggar Castle, a historical landmark that has been converted to a heritage hotel. It overlooks the Kullu Valley and has a collection of traditional Himachali paintings, wood carvings, and more. Then, head to the Manikaran Gurudwara to experience the hot-water springs and the langar - a community kitchen serving free food to all visitors regardless of their religion.
If you have more time, you can explore the Mall Road in Manali, which offers a variety of shops and cafes. If you have less time, you can consider skipping Jogini Falls or Naggar Castle. Also, remember to carry enough warm clothes as the weather can be unpredictable.
