Things to do in Manali, Himachal Pradesh: The Best Walking Tours

October 17, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

In Hinduism, Manu was said to have survived a great flood that destroyed the rest of the world. He then recreated mankind in this Kullu Valley town. What a rush, huh? No wonder the towering peaks and verdant terrain of Manali attracts adventure travelers, with heli-skiing, hiking, mountaineering and river rafting the favored active pursuits. Come down from your endorphin high by breathing deeply at the four-story, wooden Hidimba Devi Temple, which sits in the middle of a nearby deciduous forest, or take a medicinal soak in the hot springs burbling from the ground a 30-minute walk from town.

9. Jogini Waterfall Trek from Manali

Bahang, Himachal Pradesh 175103, India Sun Leisure World, India

There is something truly special about Jogini Waterfalls that captures the heart and spirit of those who have gone to see it. Nearly 3km away from Vashisht Temple in Manali, this sacred waterfall is frequently visited by locals and tourists alike. From Manali, you will begin your trek with your guide who will help you find your way. In an hour and a half of trekking through the beautiful greenery and foliage of the forest, you’ll see the cascading waters falling from above. From the moment you reach the waterfall, you’ll see its dark stones and misting water, falling over the shrines down below, you will get the sense of why the locals value these waterfalls so dearly and consider it a sacred place. It’s a relief to be able to walk near it, feel the cool refreshing air that gusts from the falls, and seeing everything around it shining wet. You can spend some time here to rest, relax, take photographs, before making your way back to Manali.

Inclusions: Join in trek English speaking trekking guide (speaks basic English) Light snack for lunch
