This trip joins the two sides of the Kullu region. You spend three nights in Manali for the temples, Old Manali and Solang Valley, then move to Kasol in Parvati Valley for a relaxed riverside night.
Manikaran Sahib, with its hot springs and langar, is only a short drive from Kasol and is covered on the same day.
Good to know: this Manali Kasol Manikaran Tour joins the adventure side of Kullu with the quieter, riverside towns of Parvati Valley, so you get both snow activities and a slow evening by the river in one trip.
