I have been in manali for 5 days I explored a "lot".
best place to visit is rohtang and sollang valley.
mall road closes after 10 but you get to eat egg omelett on mall road till 1: 00am. I ate that.
and
I stayed in geto hotel and resorts on rohtang road
taxi is cheap , sumo are cheaper than auto .
from mall road to geto hotel and resorts it takes upto 10 rs per person in sumo whereas 100 in auto. huge difference.
I hired a royal enfield classic 350 for 1100 where 1000 for rent and 100 for dilevery at hotel.
food is amazing where momos are tasty.
people se trout fish is tasty but I didnt like it.
johnsons cafe is also a myth nothing else.
eat street food and do rafting in kullu for better experience.
