Information about Mandi

Rich in preserving cultures and ancient traditions Mandi is a colorful place packed with thick greenery and enchanting lakes.

Covered with pines and deodar trees the place observes a beautiful tea plantation which is a major tourist attraction especially for tea lovers. 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. Due to its breathtaking lakes, architecturally and culturally renowned temples and adventurous trekking spots Mandi witnesses a crowd from all age groups.

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.

Ganesh's 2 days trip to Mandi

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Travel on ease during our Corporate trip to Nainitaal and Jim Corbett. From the moment we started to the day we departed, everything was seamlessly organized and thoughtfully executed. One of the standout aspects was the dedicated WhatsApp group they created for our trip. It served as a real-time support system, with prompt responses and proactive guidance throughout. Each agent and driver we interacted with was not only professional but also incredibly caring and friendly, making us feel safe and well looked after. The itinerary was perfectly curated, and the facilities they booked were top-notch—comfortable, clean, and ideally located. Whether it was pickups by 40 seater Volvo for our group, local transfers, or sightseeing, everything ran like clockwork. We didn’t face a single issue during the entire 4-days journey, which is a testament to their meticulous planning and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel on ease to anyone looking to plan a stress-free, memorable vacation. Their attention to detail and personalized service truly enhanced our travel experience.

Dinessh's 8 days trip to Mandi

Positive 1. Calm Driver 2. Rooms are good but could have been better 3. On call support - friendly staff 4. Dinner and breakfast was good Could be better 1. The price was higher than other providers they gave better rooms as well 2. No honeymoon inclusions were made but charged 3. Rohtang pass was 500 online but it charged 2000+ 4. The schedule given was not followed properly 5. Rooms were very far from the city, better rooms were there at the same price 6. The driver deviated from the agenda and took us to a potato research farm in Shimla which we find useless 7. Payment at the hotel and to the driver was very new, rather than taken care earlier
