Begin your day tour with an enthralling adventure in Solang Valley which offers paragliding, zorbing, cable car ride, and skiing, albeit the latter is subject to snow availability. The valley presents a splendid view of snow-capped mountains and pine forests.
Enroute to Manali town, visit the Manali Nature Park to have a closer view at the wildlife aristocracy of the lush Himalayan terrain. The park is home to many animal species like musk deer, ibex, and the elusive Snow Leopard.
Move towards the ancient and quaint village of Old Manali. A fusion of ethnic Himachali tradition and vibrant hippie delicacies, Old Manali will never fail to mesmerize you with its charm. It’s a perfect place to savour a local cuisine or enjoy a quiet chilling session amidst medieval and cottage-styled architecture.
Make your way towards Manali Sanctuary, home to the rare Western Tragopan and many other bird species. A walk through the lush greenery of the sanctuary will be a surreal experience and make you immerse in Nature’s serenity.
End your day tour to Manali with a visit to the Hidimba Devi Temple. Dedicated to the wife of Bhima from Mahabharata, the temple’s wooden architecture and spiritual ambiance will leave you awestruck. You can also shop for some traditional souvenirs in the temple vicinity.
If you have more time, you may opt to spend a night camping under the star-lit sky at Solang Valley, or visit the spectacular Jana Waterfall 12 km from Manali to experience peace and tranquility. On the other hand, if you have less time, you may skip Hidimba Devi Temple or Manali Sanctuary.
