What to do and see in Manali, Himachal Pradesh: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

April 11, 2022 Trinity Boughner

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.

Himalayan Caravan Adventure

Reviewed By rearke - Jakarta, Indonesia

I first met people from HCA when I asked for a direction of my hostel and they were so nice and helpful, so when I already found my stay, I strolled around and stopped by again in HCA. It was already pretty late night but Raj friendly welcomed me (even he offered a cup of coffee which I happily accepted it =)). He was so friendly and shared a lot of information about things to do in Manali. (At first, I asked for more information about cycling and he didn’t really suggest it because it was pretty crowded and packed at that time and there was also no suitable path for a biker). For me, it was really good to have a local recommendation. In the end, I decided to have a day hike to Lama Dugh because I want to maximize my short stay in Manali (and Lama Dugh looked so beautiful from the pictures Raj showed me). I went hiking to Lama Dugh with another guy, Ravi. At first, I met 3 girls who were about to off for 4 days trekking somewhere I was really envious of and they said I was so lucky to go with Ravi. In the end, they were absolutely right, Ravi is a perfect company to have a day hike in such a beautiful place. =) From the beginning, Ravi shared some practical tips that are very useful for me. I was a slow walker and he patiently adjusted to my pace. He was quiet, relaxed, warm and friendly. What I like the most from him was he gave me some space and time for myself to fully admire and enjoy the amazing nature around us yet he was still managing the trek at a constant pace with some small breaks in between the hike, so it’s not about reaching the top but to enjoy every moment we’re having that mattered the most. He was also resourceful and knowledgeable about outdoor life and for me, it was nice to be with someone who was really passionate about what they are doing. To spend some times in nature, having a good companion is important. I highly recommend HCA if you want to have good outdoor times in Manali because they are such an extraordinary professional team who will offer you not only adventure but also warm and genuine friendship. I wish to visit Manali again for other hiking trips. =)

Beas River

The Beas River also known as the Biás or Bias, is a river in north India. The river rises in the Himalayas in central Himachal Pradesh, India, and flows for some 470 kilometres to the Sutlej River in the Indian state of Punjab.

Reviewed By ama89pro - LaSalle, Canada

We thoroughly enjoyed our white water rafting excursion on the Beas River from the Nature Park in Jhiri. It was our first time doing this activity. But, our guide was fantastic and went above and beyond his duties to make sure that were safe and, above all, create and record an exciting memory of a lifetime! Set right in between stately mountains on either side of the river, our 12km rafting was absolutely thrilling and breath-taking, enhanced by sights of glorious eagles soaring just above us! Definitely a must for all! Be prepared to be in awe of God's endless beauty in creation!

Jogini Waterfall

Reviewed By Sartaj84

It is a very good trek to take with your family. I along with my wife and my two kids thoughroughly enjoyed the whole trail and the big Jogini waterfall on the top. It was tempting to take the dip in the pond formed by the fall - only if it was not chilly in October weather.
