Throughout my life, I have traveled to many places across Maharashtra on weekend getaways, but my solo trip to Himachal will always have a special place in my heart. In the past few years, I have managed to cover almost all the significant beaches, temples, and resorts in Maharashtra. During my travels, I pursued my passion of photography and clicking pictures of all the beautiful things that inspired me.
Himachal, as a destination, always fascinated me because of its scenic mountains and serene valleys. There is so much to explore and visit in Himachal, that I might need another 10 years to explore the state fully.
I was searching on google for different travel agencies and fortunately, I landed on the travel triangle website. The concept of customized holidays at competitive and negotiable prices really convinced me to buy a package from TravelTriangle.
Places To Visit On 4 Days Solo Trip To Himachal
I was particularly excited about this trip, as my solo adventures were about to expand beyond my usual trips in Maharashtra. I managed to get rid off the little anxiety that I had on my way to solo trip to Himachal by listening to some of my favorite Bollywood tracks.
Day 1: Sightseeing in Manali
I took a flight from Pune to New Delhi for my solo trip to Manali and followed that with an overnight bus journey to Manali. The next morning, upon my arrival, I checked into the Hotel Mohan Palace and got ready for a day of sightseeing.
I started my sightseeing tour by visiting the heart of Manali- Mall Road. My first impressions of the place were that over here, I can probably, shop-till-I-drop and have fun simultaneously. However, I had an itinerary to stick to and with that I moved on to visit the Hadimba Temple.
Things To Do On A 7 Day Romantic Trip To Himachal
Located on top of a hillock, the Hadimba Devi Temple is surrounded by thick deodar forests that provide a very scenic backdrop. Afterward, I traveled 6km from Hadimba temple to arrive at Vashisht temple. Situated across the Beas river, the village of Vashisht is famous for its hot water springs, and is a popular attraction among pilgrims.
Timings of Hadimba Devi Temple: 8 AM – 6 PM
Places to visit near Hadimba Devi Temple: Manu Temple, Ghatotkatch Tree Temple, Museum of Himachal Culture & Folk Art
I ended my sightseeing tour with a visit to the Tibetan Monastery which is 5 minutes away from Mall road. I also came across a few shops selling Feng-shui souvenirs and Kullu shawls at good prices for those who could bargain. In the evening, I returned to the hotel, had dinner, and rested for the night. The day one of my solo trip to Manali was truly amazing.

Day 2: An adventure trip to Solang Valley
This day, post breakfast, I boarded my cab and started for Solang valley. Located at an altitude of 2,560 meters, Solang Valley is famous for various adventure sports like skiing, parachuting and paragliding etc. On my way to Solang, I got incredible views of the snow-capped peaks and glaciers.
I decided to take part in thrilling paragliding and rope-way activities, for which I paid INR 1,200 and INR 650 respectively. A nice thing to see was the effect of digital India kicking in as they were accepting both card and PayTm payments.

Later on, I ran into some bad luck, as Rohtang Pass was closed due to heavy snow fall. Therefore, I decided to visit Gulaba where I went to the Nehru Kund. The locals believed that the Nehru Kund water had healing properties and many travelers were filling drinking water from its well. Tired and worn out after a long day of sightseeing, I arrived back at the resort satisfied with yet another beautiful day spent in Himachal.
Day 3: Seeing the beauty of Parvati valley in Kasol and Manikaran
The next day, I was scheduled to visit Kasol and Manikaran. A hub for backpackers and trekkers, Kasol was one of the places I wanted to strike off my bucket list for long. Mainly popular for a deep-rooted local culture of pot and hippie hues, there are many other things to do in Kasol even if you are not into either of those vices. The cute little village huts, lush green landscape, and the refreshing Parvati river made my journey to Kasol worthwhile.
Next up, I visited Manikaran, a pilgrimage center for Hindus and Sikhs. The place has temples dedicated to Lord Rama, Krishna, and a Gurudwara. The place is known for its natural hot-water springs and its beautiful landscape. The water is so hot that rice for the “langar” in the Gurudwara is cooked by putting it into a linen-bag and dipping it into the boiling water.
After having a delicious meal at the langar, I proceeded back to my hotel in the evening enchanted and awestruck by the beauty of Parvati Valley.
Day 4: Until next time, Himachal!
