In summer Manali comes alive with festivals and cool weather; in winter it turns into a snowy wonderland. Visitors love exploring Solang Valley – a nearby snowy gorge offering skiing, snowboarding and paragliding with panoramic Himalayan views – and the ancient Hadimba Devi Temple, a wooden cave-shrine nestled in a cedar forest. Other highlights include hot springs at Vashisht and scenic valleys at Rohtang Pass.
