Situated at the junction of Kullu and Dharamshala the place is now a famous commercial hub. Offering a perfect combination of warm nd cold climate Mandi observes majorly all seasons in a row throughout the year. Filled with gardens, forests and hill stations the place is a gateway to many popular valleys such as Manali, Kullu, Spiti, and Lahaul.

Mandi Food

The most popular Mandi cuisine is Sepu Badi. It is a delighting preparation of Dal, spinach, and yogurt which is delicious indeed but unfortunately the cuisine has not gained culinary fame outside the state of Himachal Pradesh. Apart from this, the centrally crucial North Indian food is available and consumed in and around the place. Options for vegetarians and nonvegetarians are available in huge numbers. So while exploring the place you might come across many exceptionally unique vegetarian restaurants and nonvegetarians restaurants for the convenience of all kinds of tourists. Moreover, while around the hill stations, you must have the warm and flavored teas and freshly cooked Maggi (noodles) which are famous across the entire nation, but a trip to any hill station is incomplete without a plate of hot and delicious Maggi. Mandi which maintains a hub of hill stations and lakes houses many local shops that serve nothing but Maggi.

Mahalakshmi's 5 days trip to Mandi

I recently had an incredible experience with Travel on ease on my trip to Himachal. The entire journey was meticulously planned, making the trip smooth and absolutely enjoyable. There was a change in my hotel in Manali which was informed to me same days of the booking. But the hotels they provide was outstanding. A special shoutout to Mr Chanderbhan, our driver and guide in Himachal, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time. He was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, which greatly enhanced our experience. Highly recommend Travel on ease

Mahalakshmi Dhanasekaran Chennai

Srishti's 6 days trip to Mandi

Overall, my travel experience was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. A special thanks to Sandeep Sir from Turn On Vacations for his assistance. Hotel Welcome Paradise provided a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location offered a perfect view from the room. The food was good, although there is room for improvement, especially with dinner. The breakfast, however, was quite nice. Hotel Old Manali Retreat was good overall, but we faced some issues with the location on the map, as it was inaccurate. However, the view from the room was fantastic and definitely made my day. The staff and food were below average, though. Hotel Indrasan was another excellent property. The staff were polite, the food was very nice, and we had a good variety of options for both breakfast and dinner. Chalo Kasol Huts and Camp was a great camping option. Although there’s no view from the room, it is located near the river, which allowed us to enjoy the surroundings. The dinner here was excellent, with multiple varieties. It’s important to note that the timing for both dinner and breakfast is fixed. They won’t serve food before the designated time, and while the meals may be delayed, they won’t be served early. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have breakfast on our last morning due to an early checkout, as my driver was in a hurry. Driver Experience: The driver was good overall. The first two days went smoothly, but his behavior changed on the activity day. We didn’t participate in any of the activities where he dropped us, which seemed to affect his attitude. On the last day, I had informed him multiple times that I needed to reach Chandigarh by 4 PM due to a 5 PM train. However, he had to pick up another traveler, and he dropped us off in Chandigarh at 2 PM. Due to his hurry, we missed our breakfast that morning.
