Top Attractions to Tour in Manali

Manali is packed with scenic spots and cultural landmarks. Here are the must-visit places that define its charm.

1. Solang Valley

Just 13 km from Manali, Solang Valley is the adventure capital of Himachal. In winter, its slopes are perfect for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, the green meadows turn into a hub for paragliding, zorbing, and quad biking. A ride on the Solang Ropeway offers a bird’s-eye view of the valley and the surrounding peaks.

2. Hadimba Devi Temple

Hidden inside the Dhungri Van Vihar forest, the Hadimba Devi Temple is a unique wooden structure dedicated to Hidimba, the wife of Bhima from the Mahabharata. Built in 1553, its four-tiered pagoda roof and intricate wooden carvings are an architectural delight. The surrounding cedar forest adds a mystical aura to the temple.

3. Rohtang Pass

Located at an altitude of 3,978 meters, Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass that offers breathtaking views of the glaciers and peaks of the Pir Panjal range. It is one of the few places in India where you can find snow even in summer. The drive to Rohtang, with its hairpin bends and dramatic landscapes, is an adventure in itself. (Note: Closed on Tuesdays and during heavy snowfall).

4. Old Manali

Cross the Manalsu River to enter a different world. Old Manali is famous for its rustic charm, traditional houses, and vibrant cafe culture. It is a favorite spot for backpackers. Visit the Manu Temple, dedicated to Sage Manu, the creator of human race according to Hindu mythology, located at the top of the village.

5. Atal Tunnel & Sissu

Drive through the 9.02 km long Atal Tunnel, the world’s longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet, to reach Sissu in Lahaul Valley. The landscape changes dramatically from green Manali to the rugged, barren beauty of Lahaul. The Sissu Waterfall and the serene Chandra River make for a perfect day trip.

6. Vashisht Hot Springs

Located in the village of Vashisht across the Beas River, these natural hot sulphur springs are believed to have medicinal properties. The village is also home to the ancient Vashisht Temple, dedicated to Sage Vashisht. A dip in the hot water, especially when the air is chilly, is incredibly relaxing.

7. Jogini Waterfall

A scenic 3 km trek from Vashisht temple leads to the Jogini Waterfall. The trail passes through apple orchards and pine forests, offering stunning views of the Beas River and snow-capped peaks. The waterfall cascades from a height of 160 feet, creating a mesmerizing pool at the bottom. It is a sacred spot for locals.

8. Naggar Castle

Located about 20 km from Manali, Naggar Castle was the ancient seat of the Kings of Kullu. Built in traditional Kath-Kuni style (using wood and stone), it offers panoramic views of the Kullu Valley. The castle also houses a small art gallery featuring the works of Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, who made Naggar his home.
