Manali, Himachal Pradesh
Family-friendly Manali with Solang adventure day, Hadimba temple, old Manali cafes, and an optional Atal Tunnel excursion to Sissu.
Manali takes its name from the sage Manu, who is said to have recreated life here after the great flood — the valley has been a sanctuary for travellers ever since. The 16th-century Hadimba Devi Temple, a pagoda of carved wood set in a cedar forest, honours Hidimbi of the Mahabharata, wife of Bhima. Solang Valley was once a quiet grazing meadow and is today Himachal's adventure capital, while the Vashisht hot springs have drawn pilgrims for centuries. The 9.02 km Atal Tunnel, opened in 2020, now unlocks the stark Lahaul valley in under twenty minutes, making this getaway a rare blend of culture, comfort and high-mountain drama.
