After the snow clears, paragliding becomes popular. However, keep in mind that it's not well regulated and there are safety concerns (people have died in the past).<br/><br/>Additionally, many people who visit Solang Valley opt out of the adventure-seeking to experience a bit of culture by visiting the Shiva temple above the village. If you don't want to walk up to it, it's possible to ride a pony there.<br/><br/>2)Rohtang Pass is a popular day trip from Manali, although heavy traffic can be an issue that makes it a challenge to reach. Situated a two-to-three-hour drive from Manali town, it connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti valleys of Himachal Pradesh.<br/><br/>Due to its high elevation of around 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), it's often subject to bad weather. The main attraction at Rohtang Pass is snow, particularly when it has already cleared from other places. Unfortunately, waste management is poor and facilities for visitors are lacking. The number of vehicles is also restricted and it's necessary to obtain a permit at least a day in advance to visit.<br/><br/>3) Hadimba temple, Stop by Dhungri forest on the way to Old Manali to visit the ancient Hadimba temple (also known as Dhungri temple). The temple, a four-tiered pagoda, was built in 1553 and has a facade of wood carvings. It's dedicated to Goddess Hadimba, the wife of Bhima from the Hindu epic The Mahabharata.<br/><br/>4)Vashisht, Another travelers' hangout with inexpensive guesthouses, Vashist is situated on the opposite side of the Beas River, about 10 minutes uphill from Manali town.<br/><br/>If you're interested in alternative therapies such as Reiki, massage, past life regression, and tarot, there's an excellent Reiki center there. It's open from April to October, and regular spiritual retreats are held throughout the regular season. Otherwise, the main attractions are temples and hot springs.<br/><br/>5) Mall Road, you may take at stroll in Mall road manali and do some shopping.<br/><br/>6)Atal tunnel , Sissu<br/>Atal tunnel tour: Atal Tunnel Rohtang (previously known as Rohtang tunnel) has become a new tourist destination due to tunnel being an engineering marvel, world’s longest highway tunnel above 10,000ft, and being located at picturesque place amidst snow-capped mountain peaks and glaciers.<br/><br/>Once you traverse the 9.02 KM long tunel in about 8 to 9 minutes, you will enter an entirely different world with barren landscapes (similar to Ladakh) with almost no trees and greenery but even higher mountain peaks cover
