Glamlang Trekking in Manali
One of the best reasons why staying in Hotels in Manali is worth every penny is having your balcony open into orchards of luscious apples, pomegranates and pears. Although the quality of apples is dependent on the rate of snowfall, it is said that one plant bears an average of 200 kilos of fruit annually. Setting off on Glamlang trekking in Manali can introduce you to these lovely orchards which have fruit bearing branches hanging low onto the roads, a visual treat to trekkers! Stop by here for a moment and help yourself to these tempting treats before heading ahead.
After a visit to the orchards, we reach the Manu Temple at Old Manali Village. Then we started trekking from Manu Temple, which rests on the banks of the river Manalsu. We move uphill along the banks of Manalsu to Glamlang meadows, which overlook the beautiful Manali glacier. The breathtaking view from the meadows makes it a very good choice of trekking place in Manali.
Jogini Waterfall in Manali
Named after the protector goddess of Vashist village Jogini Devi, this place is of great spiritual importance to the locals here. ‘Joginis’ are believed to be the unwed daughters of Lord Indra. During the month of Baisakh, the locals bring their children to this deity to conduct their first tonsures. Other religious celebrations to venerate Jogini devi (otherwise known as ‘Mahamaya Devi’ or “goddess of great illusions”) to the deity include occasional offerings of cooking and performance of other rituals.
Start from The Tranquil Inn with a guide and packed lunch, go downhill and you will reach the Vashisht village which is believed to be protected by the goddess herself. The Manali to Jogini waterfall trek is a three kilometre climb from the temple, taking roughly half an hour to reach the base of the Jogini waterfall. The Jogini temple is located at the base of this fall.
Various hotels in Manali line the trekking route to aid the exhausted travellers.
Finally, cross the Vyas River to reach your destination. Enjoy quality time with your friends and family and then return to the hotel before nightfall.
Mangnikot Trekking in Manali
This is one of the easiest and shortest treks for those staying in hotels in Manali. The trek stops first at the holy lawmaker Manu’s temple. After the trekkers pay their respects to Manu, we head through the dense forest to the temple of the lord of the forest, Daani Devta. These local deities are of great cultural significance and definitely worth visiting. Further from here, we head to Gaudhar which is at the base of Mangnikot, our trekking destination. It is true that one can view ninety percent of the landscape of Manali and Rohtang pass from here.
We carry packed lunch on this trip from the hotel to keep us moving. The usual route of this trek is set on pretty rough terrains and can therefore be altered as per weather conditions. The trek starts at 9 AM from the hotel and finishes by 6 PM. You must have sports shoes with good grip. We will provide you with Rain Coats, Walking Sticks and Backpack
Hotel to Mangnikot trekking in Manali makes for a fun yet easy trip for amateur trekkers.

The trek ends by the tiny village of Kalath which stands by the banks of the river Beas. This unassuming village is home to as many as six sulphur springs. A dip in these hot water springs is mandatory if you are curious to experience its mineral-rich properties, known to have been the cure to many diseases like arthritis and rheumatism, for the past several centuries.

Lama Dugh trek is an enjoyable five hour trek, wherein you will find yourself stopping multiple times to get a grab at the wild cherry trees. Soak in the scenic beauty and head back to the hotel by 6 p.m.
