Local sights in Manali and local cost of transportation

Hadimba temple: – Oh What a lovely place it is. So many Punjabi songs have shot over here. It is right in the center of the forest. It would be lovely if you go there on your feet. The path leading to the Hidimba temple is passing through the dense forest just totally like a twilight movie forest.

1. Van Vihar Park: – It is a small park near the bus stand in Manali. There is also a small lake where you can enjoy boating. Some other fun activities can be performed too.

1. Vashisht temple: – This a temple located 4km away from Manali, therefore you will have to take a taxi or auto from the bus stand to go over there and it will cost you around 15/- Rs of one way. It is a temple with hot springs where you can take a bath.

1. Jogini Waterfalls:- This is another wonderful place that is a little further than vashisht temple. To visit yogini fall you have to walk around 30 minutes through a terrifying and beautiful pathway.

This is the heart whelming experience which will you have on first day at Manali !!!!

Neighborhood Manali places and sites including cost

1. Rohtang pass:- To touch the sky and enjoy the heights of the greater Himalayas, Rohtang pass is the best point to visit. Also, it is fully covered with snow all over the year. Talking about the cost you have to book a Volvo one day in advance which will bring you to Rohtang pass. So I suggest just book on the day of your arrival at Manali. A Volvo will cost you 500/- rupees of a two-way trip to Rohtang pass. One another cost is having a snowsuit which you will have to take on rent, otherwise, your clothes will get wet. It will cost you around 250/- Rs. At Rohtang Pass, you can enjoy all the snow activities like skiing, robbing, and much more. So total cost of visiting Rohtang pass would be 750/-. I will also recommend bringing some snacks with you as Rohtang is 50 km away from Manali so it will take your entire day as there is very few food stalls on the way to Rohtang.
