7 Days in Manali -A Complete Travel guide -Visiting Rohtang, Shinkula /Baralacha, Shangarh, Kasol

 

This video is not just a travel vlog,

but a journey from Manali to the heart of the Himalayas —

where every day tells a new story,

and every road brings a new feeling ❤️🏔️

In this video, we show how you can spend 7 unforgettable days in and around Manali.

🗓️ Day 1 – Manali Local Sightseeing

Our journey begins with local sightseeing in Manali.

The cedar forests of Hadimba Devi Temple,

the natural hot water springs of Vashisht,

the lively vibes of Mall Road,

and the calm flow of the Beas River —

Manali wins your heart at the very first glance 🌲✨

🗓️ Day 2 – Rohtang Pass ❄️ / Atal Tunnel

Today we come face to face with

the true power of the Himalayas – Rohtang Pass.

Strong winds, towering snow walls,

and rapidly changing weather

remind us that we are only travelers here.

As we pass through the Atal Tunnel,

an entirely different world of Lahaul Valley opens up ⛰️

🗓️ Day 3 & 4 – via Solang Valley | Shinkula Pass or Baralacha La

Adventure in Solang Valley 🔥

The day begins with adventure and excitement.

Paragliding, ATV rides, ziplining,

and if the weather allows, snow activities ❄️

Solang Valley pushes you out of your comfort zone

and turns fear into confidence 💪

Shinkula Pass 🏔️ or Baralacha La ❄️

These are the most challenging days of the journey.

One route takes us towards Shinkula Pass (Zanskar route) —

where silence, extreme altitude, and raw adventure dominate.

The other route leads to Baralacha La,

a high mountain pass connecting Lahaul, Spiti, and Ladakh.

These days remind us that

the journey matters more than the destination ❤️

🗓️ Day 5 – Shangarh (Sainj Valley)

Away from the crowds,

we reach the magical Shangarh Meadows 🌲

Lush green fields,

believed to be the land of local deities,

and a sense of peace

that cannot be explained in words.

This place is perfect for

slow travel, silence, and inner calm 🙏

🗓️ Day 6 – Manikaran Sahib & Kasol

A day of spirituality and relaxation in Parvati Valley.

The hot water springs of Manikaran Sahib,

the peaceful atmosphere of the Gurudwara,

and the soothing sound of the Parvati River

create a deeply touching experience 🕉️

Later, we head to Kasol,

where cafés, mountains, and chill vibes

make life feel lighter and slower ☕

🗓️ Day 7 – Adventure Day | Jana Waterfall & Gauri Shankar Dashal

The final day of the journey,

yet one of the most peaceful.

Paragliding, river rafting, skiing,

followed by the refreshing streams of Jana Waterfall,

and the sacred surroundings of Gauri Shankar Dashal —

a perfect ending that completes the journey 🌊🙏
