The greatest part about having your own wheels is that you can travel anywhere, anytime. Make full use of your freedom by discovering all there is to do in Manali. It’s just 17 miles away. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Mall Road, Hadimba Devi Temple and Solang Valley. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Dharamshala, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Dalai Lama’s Residence. (But we’re also huge fans of Dal Lake and Indru nag Temple.)
