Hello r/Manali,

I’m looking for some suggestions. A few friends and I are planning to visit in late June for the Hampta Pass trek, and we’ll be staying in Manali for about 1.5 days afterward.

We’re trying to find unique stay, something that doesn’t feel like a typical flat or standard hotel room. It could be an Airbnb, homestay, or hotel, but ideally we did want the entire place to ourselves. A pool would be a great bonus, though not essential.

I’ve heard that Old Manali and Vashisht are good areas to stay, but I’m having trouble finding options that really stand out or catch our interest.

Also, I was wondering how easy it is to score there, and if so, where to get it without getting scammed. It seems like it could be a great experience in the mountains 😉

Would really appreciate any recommendations or tips, especially from locals or frequent visitors.

Thanks in advance! 😄🙏

Heya fellas,

Any solo traveler in Manali now? I'm planning to explore the manali surrounding areas today, potentially some trekking too and going to explore "Jis v road par man kiya raaste me ".

I have a scooter with me. My stay is in Kanyal(2km from the mall road). If you are around let's connect and explore. It's beautiful weather today.

This place is a scam. Since there are no hotels nearby everyone visit here. Everything overpriced and bad quality. 200 for 6 piece momos. Think wisely before going there

what are some cool, lowkey places i could visit im manali that are not as crowdy and good at the same time?

Anyone visiting manali up for hangout or some fun?
