Top 6 Offbeat Places Near Manali For A Peaceful Holiday


One of the most popular hill stations in India, Manali is in the middle of the mountain slopes, with spell-binding views, charming streams, fairy-tale-like fog surrounding little hidden cottages and a lingering scent of pines and freshness. The heavy influx of tourists has led to the exploitation of Manali as a tourist destination, though the surrounding areas are still relatively untouched. Nevertheless, this is one place that should definitely be on your bucket list. There are various offbeat destinations near Manali for a peaceful vacation which are given below:


1. Sethan, in Hamta Valley

A very famous destination for skiing in winters & a campsite in the summer season, Sethan is, without any doubt, one of the best tourist spots close to Manali — mainly if the plan is of relaxing for some time. Enclosed by mountains higher than 4,000 metres, Sethan remains an unaffected Buddhist city. It is also an offbeat town for snow activities like Snowboarding and Skiing, but it is not incorporated in almost all Manali Tour Packages by the tour providers.


2. Babeli Nature Park

A must-watch tourist spot if you would like to just sit in the circuit of the environment; the sound of the gushing waters of Beas River and birds chirping are frequently the only sounds heard here. Babeli is as well an admired place for river rafting. Park timing slots are 6 am to 6:30 pm. Travel Time from Kullu is 1 hour & 15 minutes.

3. Naggar Castle

Naggar, one of the top destinations to visit in Manali and all around is famous for its very old temples, the Naggar Castle and the Roerich Art Gallery, but stay away from the landmarks to enjoy a little solitude. Spotted with stone and wooden cottages and buildings, basking in gentle sunshine, the town will make you sit up and become aware of its structural design. And you won’t get tired of looking at the snow-capped mountains, the small villages and the river Beas around. Travel time from Manali/Kullu to here is 50 minutes.

4. Hallan Valley

At less than 25 km from Manali (towards Kullu) one of the smallest valleys lies in Himachal Pradesh called Hallan Valley. Delightfully occupied by local Himachali with landscapes filled with the unspoilt environment, Hallan Valley guarantees an uninterrupted vacation. The only unsatisfactory thing is, though, there are no permanent working Guest House in the whole valley, but a small number of homestays and various Best Hotels in Manali which are working permanently.


5. Manalsu Nala, Old Manali

The Manalsu Nala is a segment of the River Manalsu, which divides new Manali and old Manali, and one of the many angling and fishing spots which you will discover close to Manali. You can reserve a window, a guide and tools for fishing with your trip provider or your hotel. The route to the place is throughout the old Manali town, which exudes a friendly and an approximately hippie vibe; if that motivates you, do put in it to your list of spots to travel in Manali. 10 minutes is the travelling Time from New Manali to here.

6. Fojal Valley

Situated almost the middle between Kullu and Manali, Fojal Valley is an extremely offbeat & a non-famous valley, in Himachal Pradesh, it has no more than a dozen small villages. Talking of its position, Fojal Valley increases approximately vertically to Kullu Valley close to the Patlikuhl town, earlier than it splits itself into 2 halves, with the town of Fojal (the complete valley as well shares the same name ‘Fojal’) being situated in the middle, stand-in as the transportation centre for the whole valley.
