From cycling through quaint villages to paragliding over snow-capped peaks, here’s how to experience the best of Manali in three unforgettable days.
The Orchid Manali: Your Ideal Retreat section
At The Orchid Manali, your stay is as memorable as the adventures that await outside. The resort offers a warm, home-like ambiance with elegantly furnished rooms and suites, many featuring balconies that open up to panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayas and the flowing Beas River. Each morning, indulge in a hearty breakfast at the resort’smulti-cuisine restaurant, serving both local Himachali delicacies like Siddu and Chha Gosht, as well as international favourites to energize you for a day of exploration. With this as your base, a perfect 3-day itinerary in Manali becomes effortless: cycle through Vashisht and Old Manali, seek thrills in Solang Valley with paragliding and ATV rides, marvel at Rohtang Pass, and enjoy serene moments at the Hadimba and Manu temples. Round off each day by relaxing at the resort, dining on fresh, wholesome cuisine, and soaking in the breathtaking mountain views—a seamless blend of adventure, culture, and comfort at The Orchid Manali.
Day 1: Exploring Vashisht and Old Manali
Spend your morning by renting and cycling around on a mountain bike through villages in Manali. Vashisht in Manali is named after the sage Vashisht and is home to hot springs, ancient temples, and the Beas river. Alternatively, you may hike up to the Bijli Mahadev temple in Kullu. Nestled among pine trees, orchards, and cliffs, this centuries-old temple is situated where the Beas river meets the Parvati river. Later in the evening, explore the vibrant market of Old Manali. Seeing the bustling market serves as a stepping stone for you to explore the culture. 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 Manali. 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.
Day 2: Adventure and Culture in Solang Valley and Beyond
Your second day in Manali should begin with a scrumptious breakfast at The Orchid Manali. Breakfast is, after all, the most important meal of the day, and you will need the fuel for the adventurous day ahead, since Solang Valley is where you should be headed as your first stop. Go on an ATV ride for an adventure on land, but do not leave Manali without paragliding across the panoramic views of the valley. The crisp air hitting against your face as you glide across the valley suspended in air will often visit you in your dreams for days to come. If weather conditions permit, move towards the Rohtang Pass and glance upon snow-capped mountains and the peaks of glaciers. Ensure that you have your camera charged, for you will be clicking away several pictures over here, trying to capture the Himalayas in their raw beauty. If you are into mythology, do not miss out on the Hadimba temple. The temple is dedicated to Hadimba Devi, who is Bhima's wife in the Mahabharata. Bask in the tranquil atmosphere after your adventurous morning and observe the intricate architecture. In the evening, you may explore the Old Manali Market further or cosy up in your room at The Orchid Hotel with our Manali 3-day package. If you are on a honeymoon to this paradise, do not forget to check out our offers.
Day 3: Nature and Adventure by the Beas River
Savour your last day by eating siddu, chha gosht, and another cup of piping hot chai, and then hike up to the Manu temple. A walk along the apple orchard will be a breath of fresh air. Designed as a pagoda, the temple hosts carvings of several Hindu deities; the temple is, after all, dedicated to sage Manu, who is believed to be the forebearer of mankind. Next, you should definitely seek out the Beas river and set out river rafting over the rapids under the guidance of expert river rafters. Splash through the waves and balance your body right as you navigate through the rapids against the backdrop of the Himalayas. End your tryst with water at Manali by visiting the Nehru Kund after an exhilarating river rafting session. Nehru Kund is a natural spring with a waterfall, the sound of which will calm you down after the roaring Beas. End your day by savouring Himachali cuisine while planning where you should be headed next, wishing to find a hotel just like the one you are staying at that provides easy access to all your memories.
