India is a nation of diverse communities, with a lot of destinations to explore, which means it’s a heaven for travelers.

It contains everything which makes it a Sub-Continent, namely, Deserts, Forests, Plateaus, Himalayas, Coastline, hill stations, etc.

Today, I am going to tell you my review on Manali, and what places you should go on your Manali Trip.

1. Jogini Waterfalls:

Time to reach to top: 45 mins to 2 hours

There are two spots where you can stop and enjoy the mind-blowing view of the waterfalls. Small Waterfalls will come in the first half and a Large waterfall will come in the second half.

It’s trekking, so don’t bring children with you, as the second half is kind of a narrow path, and you should be careful as the climbing becomes dangerous without any guide.

2. Hidimba Devi Temple:

It is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, wife of Bhima, a figure in the Indian epic Mahābhārata.

The temple is surrounded by a cedar forest called Dhungiri Van Vihar at the foot of the Himālayas.

The sanctuary is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground, which was worshiped as an image of the deity. The structure was built in 1553 by Maharaja Bahadur Singh.

5. Rohtang Pass:

If you’re in Manali then this is a must place to visit Manali. It’s a 2-hour journey from the main market on the hills.

Sometimes traveling to Rohtang Pass is difficult. Therefore, the government is stressing on setting up a ropeway between Kothi village, which is in Manali and Rohtang Pass. Heavy snowfall blocks the road in winter and a ropeway will be very useful.

The best way to go to Rohtang is by Bike. You should definitely visit here by bike if you’re comfortable with it. You can find a bike for rent here in Manali.

Likewise, you can contact your Travel Agent. If you’re Solo, then explore it, you will definitely find a lucrative deal.
