Reach Manali early in the morning by overnight bus or private vehicle. Freshen up and have breakfast, then go for sightseeing at Manali attractions. Start by visiting the 16th-century wooded Hadimba Devi Temple, set in a complex surrounded by deodar forests. After this, join the religious walk of Hidimba Devi Temple and Manu Temple, which is dedicated to sage Manu; the place gives a serene feeling of holiness. Go to the Vashisht Village and take a dunk in its hot water springs known to have medicinal properties. In the evening, stroll lazily at Mall Road and shop for woollen clothing and handicrafts, and try Himachali snacks. Dine in-house and stay overnight.
Post breakfast, prepare for an adventurous day at Solang Valley. In winter or summer seasons you can do paragliding, zorbing, skiing, snowboarding, or snow scooter riding. The valley provides enchanting vistas of glaciers and snow-capped mountains; it is ideal to click photographs here. In winter months, the valley will be completely snowed in, and it feels like stepping into a beautiful fairytale. Spend a good part of your day here, as it has other sightseeing viewpoints, and you will also get to enjoy one of the world's longest high-altitude drive-through tunnels—Atal Tunnel (based on time and weather). In the evening after finishing the tour, come back to Manali, drink a warm cup of tea, and spend your night relaxing.
After breakfast, drive to the attractive Kullu Valley. The road trip is along the flowing stream of the Beas River. While in Kullu, you should also visit the very revered Raghunath Temple. And, you can even try river rafts in the Beas River if you are an adventure lover. See the Kullu market, renowned for its locally crafted woollen shawls and a selection of traditional Himachali caps. Offer prayers at the Vaishno Devi Temple on your way back to Manali. Return to the hotel by evening for some delicious dinner and an overnight stay at Segovia.
Check out after breakfast in your hotel. If you have time before your departure, go for a short morning walk, do some last-minute shopping on Mall Road, or just sit back with a coffee and soak in the mountain views one last time from the open terrace. Carry beautiful memories of snow, mountains, and Himachal with you back home.
