Through Jana waterfall: Distance between manali and Jana waterfall is 35 kms. From Jana waterfall to Bijli Mahadev temple is 24 kms. This route is a complete off track. You should avoid this route if you cannot undertake off road bike drive. One should avoid this unless you are very sure of biking skils.

Jogini waterfall: I thought to spending Day 4 of the journey doing local sightseeing, 1st half of the day i travelled to Jogini waterfall, you will need to do trek of about 40 minutes from Vashishth temple for going to Jogini waterfall.
Manu temple: Photography inside the temple was not allowed, so i showed this temple from outside. This temple is dedicated to the sage Manu, who is believed to be the creator of world. This is the only temple of Sage manu. It is located in old Manali.
Hadimba temple: This is located at a distance of about 2 kms from Mall road. It is believed that Hadimba did meditation in the cave at this place. This is a must visit place in Manali.
After the temple visit - i decided to do night stay at a camp, which was near Kalath, landmark near green tax barrier.
It costed Rs 1000 per day per day per person. Name of the coman who manages this is into the wild himalayas:
Day 5: Rohtang pass:
Rohtang pass is 50 kms from Manali. It takes about 3 hours to reach there. You can travel to Rohtang on Himachal tourism bus or take a taxi from manali to Rohtang.
It costs about Rs 4000 to travel on a small taxi like Alto in off season. In season - which is summers May and june travel to Rohtang cost Rs 6000 or so.
