Manali Tour

After breakfast, prepare to discover the local attractions of Manali, including:

Hadimba Devi Temple: Also referred to as the Hadimba Temple, this ancient cave temple is situated in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. It is dedicated to Hadimbi Devi, the wife of Bhima from the Indian epic Mahābhārata. The temple is nestled within a cedar forest at the base of the Himalayas and is constructed over a large rock that is revered as the deity's image. The temple was established in 1553.

Vashisht: This village is named after Rishi Vashisht, one of the seven sages in Hindu tradition. Legend has it that Rishi Vashisht fell into despair upon learning of his children's demise at the hands of Vishwamitra. In an attempt to end his life by jumping into a river, he found that the river spared him. He subsequently began anew in this village. The river that led him there was named Vipasha, symbolizing liberation from bondage, and is now known as the Beas River.
