Traveling with family is absolute bliss. After all, it’s the only time when you get to know each other a lot. It’s the only time that strengthens your bond with your loved ones. It’s the only time that enables kids to take a break from their studies and explore the various parts of the world. It’s the only time that allows you to build memories for a lifetime. So, it has to be perfect in every manner.
To have a great time on your family trip, you need to choose a tourist destination that exudes family vibes. A tourist destination that welcomes families with open arms. A tourist destination that invites you to indulge in something unique and exciting every time you come, whether for a short or long duration. A tourist destination that complements everyone’s holiday mood and style. In short, it won’t be wrong to say that you need to shortlist a destination that has things for kids, toddlers, adults, and old-age people as well.

Out of all the sightseeing places in Manali, the one place that draws a huge influx of locals and visitors is the Mall Road market. Often referred to as the heart of the hill station, Mall Road is a popular go-to spot for all those who are interested in street shopping adventures. Here you can find everything right from Tibetan and Himalayan handicrafts to Woolen Clothing, Tibetan Jewellery, Kullu and Kinnauri Shawls, Dorjes, nameplates, keychains, and Buddhist Paintings under one roof, and that too at reasonable prices (only if you’re good at bargaining).
Just a few steps away from Mall Road is the famous Hadimba Temple that invites people to seek blessing from the presiding deity, Goddess Hadimba Devi. While Manu Temple is dedicated to King Manu – the Indian Sage, the Vashisht Temple allows you to take a refreshing dip in its holy water. It is believed that one who bathes at Vashisht Temple gets rid of all skin infection and other diseases.
Other religious sites like the Gauri Shankar Temple, Manali Gompa, Von Ngari Monastery, and Himalayan Nyingmapa Buddhist Temple are also there for people wanting to be spiritually enlightened on their Manali tour.
The next destination that deserves to be seen with children is the Manali Sanctuary.

You can also spend some time at the Great Himalayan National Park and Van Vihar National Park to create some unforgettable memories for a lifetime.
Pay heed to the Jogini Waterfall to experience the natural phenomena of a waterfall falling from a certain height from the ground level. The Rahala Falls on one side offers a truly magnificent view of the mountains covered in snow, Jana Waterfall on the other side is a pure delight to watch. For the unspoiled beauty of nature, one can also head towards the Parvathi Valley, Tirthan Valley, and Bhrigu Lake in Manali to revel in the picturesque beauty.
Don’t forget to stop by Rohtang La Pass and Solang Valley if adventure is on your mind.

These include skiing, paragliding, zorbing, mountain biking, camping, river rafting, sledding, and more.
In case you’re interested in trying your hand at moderate to challenging treks, you can simply start hiking towards the Chandrakhani Pass Trek or Chandratal Baralacha Trek. Several other trekking destinations like Hampta Pass Trek, Deo Tibba Trek, and Beas Kund Trek are also available in the little hamlet for trekkers to choose from. Depending on your holiday duration and budget, choose one trail that suits you the best.
Here you can also stroll around the nearby villages like Kothi, Naggar, Malana, Keylong, Katrain, and Jagatsukh to explore the rich heritage and local culture of the town.

The list of tourist places to visit in Manali doesn’t end here as the hill station has a lot more to unveil to its visitors. If time permits, you can extend your weekend trip to a few more days to cover the attraction such as the Museum of Himachal Culture and Folk Art, Nehru Kund, Arjun Gufa, Atal Tunnel, Sissu, and Old Manali area to have a great time on your Manali tour.
Summer season (March - June) is the peak season to visit Manali as this is the time when it receives a throng of tourists from different parts of the world every year. Why? Because the charm you get to see here is almost incomparable to any other hill station in India.
