Buy handcrafted souvenirs and drink a cup of steaming hot chai, perhaps even a plate of the pahadi Maggi or a hot bowl of thukpa that you have been craving. When you are in the area you might be lucky to come across impromptu musical performances by the locals. 

After a blissful and tiresome day rest at The Orchid Hotel. There are several luxurious rooms for you to choose from during your stay. Whether you fancy a room with an adjoining balcony or a room with the view of lush green Manali be assured that you will find a comfortable stay to end your day.
