Essential Travel & Packing Tips
Expert recommendations for a safe and comfortable trip
The night drive from Kufri to Manali is a long drive on mountain roads. Try to sleep through as much of it as possible.
Hadimba Temple in Manali has a wooden structure and a forest of deodar cedar around it. It is worth visiting on a weekday morning when it is less crowded.
Kufri's horse and yak ride operators are independent vendors — agree on price before the ride starts.
