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.
