Must Know Before You Visit Manali
- What Manali has to offer
Manali’s surrounding scenery is its main asset. Set amidst the Himalayas and River Beas, the adjacent countryside is truly breathtaking. But go knowing that Manali is a nothing more than a base to explore the surrounding areas. - What Manali doesn’t…
Apart from using Manali as a base to explore its surroundings, the city itself does not have a lot to offer if you are the type of traveller who enjoys culture, shopping, good cafes and restaurants, and so on. The temples in Manali can all be seen in half a day and after that you’ll be hard pressed to find activities in town to occupy yourself. Old Manali is overrun with hippies who come mainly to smoke hash (which you’ll find growing all over Manali). If this isn’t your idea of fun, you won’t find much that is redeeming about it.Manali proper isn’t much better; the main thoroughfare – the Mall – is a pedestrianised shopping street that has shops and restaurants of all sorts. But again, the quality of what is on offer is mediocre at best. Don’t imagine a lively Indian bazaar where you’ll find gorgeous local handicrafts and clothing – this is not what the Mall offers. It’s more a hodgepodge of dollar store trinkets.
- What to expect
In short, Manali caters to two types of tourists: stoners and adventure seekers. If you fall into one of these two categories, you might love Manali. If you don’t, go knowing that Manali itself is not the reason to visit – the surrounding countryside is the only thing worth seeing, and Manali is only a base to explore that.
