Manali - Solang Valley Weekend Trip

A weekend trip to Manali also known as the honeymoon capital of India might not be what you expect it to be. Manali has gained a reputation for being a lover's paradise as most couples choose this destination for spending some quality time with each other. But that doesn’t mean that the experience this hill station provides is restricted to honeymooners.

In fact, Manali is known for being the hotspot for backpackers as well as adventure enthusiasts since it provides getaways to many thrilling activities like skiing, paragliding, rafting, trekking, and mountaineering to name a few.

Manali is also home to beautiful waterfalls with sparkling water and you can’t miss the magical experience of witnessing them at all. A small hike is all you need to do to reach Jogini Waterfall. The reason why this is a must-visit place in Manali is that the cascading waterfalls have sacred shrines below them, giving them significant importance among locals.

The historic Vashisht temple, named after the great sage, is believed to be 4000 years old and remains one of the most popular tourist attractions because of its natural hot water springs. It holds extreme importance as a pilgrimage site and attracts a lot of devotees every year.

Although you can plan a weekend getaway to Manali throughout the year, the best time to visit Manali is from November to January as the weather is pleasant and if you are lucky, you might even catch the season's first snowfall while you are there.
