Things to do in Manali | Local sightseeing | Manali Tourism | Day 1 |
Hello Everyone,
This is my Manali tour vlog series. on the first day of my Manali tour, I did local sightseeing like hadimba temple, vashisht hot water spring, a Buddhist monastery and mall road.
Here I will show you things to do in Manali.
Hadimba Temple:
Located at the foot of the Himalayas in a village in Manali, Hidimba Devi Temple is an ancient temple dedicated to Hidimba Devi, wife of Bhima, one of the five Pandavas. Hidimba was a rakshas and is said to have meditated here to eventually attain the status of a Goddess. About 70 meters from the temple is the shrine
of Ghatotkach who was Hidimba and Bhima's son.
Vashisht Hot Water Spring :
Three km. away from Manali are the Vashist springs and temple in a tiny hamlet situated on the bank of Beas river that turns towards Rohtang. It is well known for its hot sulphur springs and temples. Taking a dip in this water is considered sacred by many. Nearby is the pyramidal stone temple devoted to Vashist Muni, a revered sage.
Buddhist Monastery :
This ancient Buddhist monastery with Pagoda-styled structure is among the major Manali tourist places. Its fascinating Tibetan style architecture is worth admiring. The elements that make this temple so popular are the massive, two-story-tall statue of Lord Buddha and eye-catching wall paintings it houses.
Mall Road :
Mall Road has a number of showrooms, department stores, shops, restaurants, and cafes. A Himachal emporium that offers handicraft products of Himachal Pradesh like locally designed woolen clothes, branded clothes, pottery items, wooden products, and jewelry is also located here.
