Local knowledge for Manali

Where to stay

Old Manali, across the Manalsu River footbridge from Mall Road, is where budget travelers actually stay. The guesthouses and hostels along Old Manali Road and near Hadimba Temple run cheaper than anything in the main town, and the food options are better.

Getting around

  • Book your Rohtang Pass permit online through the Himachal Pradesh e-permit portal before you arrive. Touts at guesthouses charge double and sometimes deliver nothing.
  • The HRTC Manali-Leh bus departs from the main bus stand and costs a fraction of what hostels quote for the same seat. Book directly at the counter.
  • Spend a full day in Manali before heading up to Solang Valley or Rohtang Pass (3,978m). Altitude sickness hits fast when you've just arrived from the plains.

When to go

March and April are the cheapest months, when winter snow is clearing and summer crowds haven't arrived. June and July fill hostels fast with families from Delhi and Punjab escaping the heat, so book at least two weeks out.
