Overview
A Honeymoon bliss in Manali & Kasol 6 days tour is a kind of experience that most newlywed couples prefer to take, and rightly so. The combination of the snow-capped mountain ranges of Manali and the enchanting riverbank settings of Kasol creates a perfect harmony of romance and adventure. While Manali offers the majesty of mountain ranges and the luxury of resorts, the atmosphere in Kasol is quite hippie and laid-back, as if time has turned standstill. This 5 nights 6 days tour has been planned to provide newlyweds with the best of both experiences: adventures and serenity in “we-time.”
Tour Itinerary Details:
Day 1: Manali Arrival
Your adventure trip begins upon your arrival in Manali. Proceed to Kullu Valley, where the Beas River accompanies you on the final leg of your journey with its sparkling blue water.
Check into your honeymoon suite. Several hotels in Manali offer extra inclusions like flower decorations, a bottle of fruit wine, or an exclusive cake.
After the break, you can unwind further at the Hadimba Devi Temple, which is a wooden temple with deodar trees all around, offering a serene background for a leisurely walk. In the evening, enjoy a leisurely walk along the river flowing through the Van Vihar forest.
Visit Mall Road in the evening, it has narrow streets lined with wonderful cafes where you can enjoy your very first candlelit meal in the hills.
Day 2: Snow & Adventure
There’s nothing that will bring the couple closer together than a little shared adrenaline. The adventure heads to the high points of Manali.
The Solang Valley is so popular for its snow activities throughout all seasons, just the right spot to try tandem paragliding. Sailing together over the valley in gliders is an experience to cherish.
Take your journey through the world-famous Atal Tunnel. As you come out on the other side, the scenery changes to the harsh ice views of the Lahaul Valley. Visit the frozen Sissu Lake or Sissu Waterfall to click some of the most beautiful “couple photos” ever.
Return to Manali, relax, and end the day with a bonfire at the accommodation.
Day 3: Kullu Valley Tour
Today, you head south to explore the larger Kullu Valley, both an adventure destination and a historic site.
River rafting for a 7 km expedition on the Beas River. Rafting through rapids is a teamwork experience, which is a great to spend time together.
Visit Naggar Castle, which dates to the 15th century. The Kathkuni architecture type, in which wood and stone are alternatively layered, is very interesting. The balcony offers a breathtaking view of the valley.
Visit the local shawl factory, where you can buy an original Kullu Shawl or a Pashmina Stole.
Day 4: Kasol & Parvati Valley
After a wholesome breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to Manali and move forward to Parvati Valley. It feels as if the atmosphere has changed dramatically; it's more humid over here with dense bushes and plants and a forceful river flowing by its side.
Manikaran Sahib is renowned for its hot water springs, which are spiritually relieving.
Check in at a riverside stay or a boutique hotel in Kasol.
Kasol is popular for Israeli and Italian food. The evening can be spent in cafés like Jim Morrison Café or Everest Café, listening to bohemian music and the sound of the gushing river.
Day 5: Trekking & Serenity
The best way to explore Kasol is on foot. Today, you will be getting away from the crowds and finding your hidden Himalayan retreat.
Embark on a 30-minute trek that takes you along the Parvati River to the village of Chalal. The trek offers ample chances to take a break along the riverbed and chat.
If you are an adventurous freak, you should visit Tosh, the last motorable village of the valley. The sight of Tosh Glacier from the adjacent café is simply breathtaking.
Have a private dinner with a river view. Many hotels in Kasol can arrange a dinner setup with the river beneath the starlight.
Day 6: Departure
Enjoy your lazy morning on the 6th day. Have last breakfast while enjoying the lifting of the mist from the mountains. Last-minute shopping at Kasol Local Market. The must-haves are colored hemp bags, dream catchers, jewellery made from semi-precious stones. Head back to the airport at Bhuntar or grab a bus to Delhi/Chandigarh with a heavy pack of memories.
Travel tips for a stress-free honeymoon:
Although the cost of transport by buses is very low, on a romantic honeymoon, hiring a private car like Swift Desire or Innova for the whole six days will enable you to stop wherever you capture the pictures.
Manali is much colder, especially around the Atal Tunnel, where the temperature ranges from 0° C to 10° C, while Kasol is ever so slightly warmer and more humid.
The connectivity in Kasol is incomplete in some places. So, you should inform your family beforehand be with each other.
Anti-motion sickness drugs would be a necessary precaution in the twisting road system of Parvati Valley.
