There is a huge hype of this place but I personally doesnt like the place at all because I found it to be a real bore place. Though it is really beautiful but you can admire beauty for 2-3 days, after that I felt lazy and bored there. I went in the month of December, last year with my family. We planned this trip because we wanted to experience the snowfall but while we were there 4 days, there was no snowfall which brought us to a huge disappointment. The Mall Road is also boring with very few shops that to with nothing interesting things to eat. We also went to Solang Valley which was a bit fun, otherwise the whole trip was revolving around temples in Manali which I personally didnt enjoyed visiting to. As I mentioned above the overall beauty of the city was good and appreciable. The food quality all over Manali was very low which at the end resulted in causing severe food poisoning to me and my father. Overall my experience in Manali was below average and boring. I will not like to recommend Manali as a tourist spot to anyone in my family and friends. I have added a photo of Mall Road in Manali. Hope this review will help you choose your holiday destination.
