The 10 Best Things to Do in Manali, India
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.

River Beas originates in Rohtang pass in Manali and flows down through Himachal and merges in Sutlej in Punjab.The water is clear and clean.We visited Manali in november.Water flow was normal.After completing sightseeing we wanted to try some adventure sports.We opted for river rafting.We were four persons and they charged Rs 4000 for rafting and Rs 1000 for Vedio.We did rafting for 40 minutes.The charges vary based on the distance of ride.This was medium ride and is sufficient for first timers.It was fantastic .Enjoyed fully.Every one should try it as it is reasonably priced.And you get such opportunities not very often.

Important tip: Start early, say 6-7, and you'll mostly get the waterfall all to yourself. About 5 kms from old Manali, I woke up and just started walking. The last 1-2 kms towards the falls are beautiful with the beas flowing by the side and snow capped Mountains above the river view. I stopped and spent a lot of time clicking at this stretch.
Not a very big waterfall, but still a very pretty falls. You can enjoy the beauty of the falls at the first concrete bridge itself, but if feeling more adventurous,climb up further up to the top.

Reviewed By Himanshu A - New Delhi
It was a 4 day trek which started from 14 mor, near Gulaba. On the first day, it was only a 15 minutes steep hike till the campsite which was at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet a kobove the sea level. You can see a clear view of Dev Tibba peak and Solang Valley. On the second day, there was a trek of 5 km till the second campsite, Rolla Khuli, which was at an altitude of approximately 12,500 feet. It was a little steep, continuous increase in altitude throughout the 5 km stretch. View from here was great. The same view as from Gulaba campsite but from 2,500 feet above. You can see beautiful meadows, water streams, bunch of sheep and much more from the campsite. On the third day we climbed till our summit, Bhrigu Lake, which is at an altitude of approximately 14,000 feet above the sea level. It was approximately 5 km trek till the lake, steep ascent in the starting, then easy walk and finally steep ascent through boulders. We returned to Rolla Khuli on the same day and last day we returned to Manali. Through the journey, you can see high altitude grasslands, snow covered peaks, beautiful Valleys and snow depending upon the month of visit. Also, you may face high altitude sickness anytime during the trek, be cautious and prepared for that.

Small in village in Manali towards Rohtang pass.
Rohtang pass was closed when we were there in February. Gulaba was the next best choice to enjoy snow, skiing and paragliding.
Snow capped Mountains, Beas river and grasslands makes the area stunning and beautiful.
There were ladies who hires himalayan traditional dresses for INR 150/- each. Need to bargain . It would be another experience in snow.
Although it wasn't crowded when we were there, Gulaba is becoming a popular attraction in the Manali region.
