More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step away from the hum of Old Manali and into a corridor of pine and deodar where the Beas river keeps time — a steady, cool pulse at your left. The guide leads you past the white-washed Vashisht temple and the sulfurous steam of hot springs, then up a narrow trail that threads villages, tattoo studios and small yoga centers before opening into an alpine understory that smells of moss and river stones.
