The wooden temple built by Maharaja Bahadur Singh in 1553 is dedicated to demoness Hidimba, wife of

Pandava Bhima. Roof of the temple consists of massive deodar planks, which has largely survived the

with beheading of an ox.

Manali has three important Tibetan Monasteries: Himalayan Nyinmapa Temple, the traditional Gelukpa

Gompa and the other one at Aleo on the left bank of Beas river. The first two monasteries are easily

souvenirs. The Monasteries are open 6AM to 6PM

Rohtang Pass: Open for tourists

Note : Closed for tourists on Tuesdays

Vehicles with Non Himachal Pradesh registration are not allowed beyond Marhi unless you have

obtainedspecial permission from SDM office at Manali

Manali - Rohtang Pass RouteManali to Rohtang Route (distance: 51 KMs) :

Manali - Nehru kund - Kothi- Gulaba- Marhi - Raninalla- Rohtang Pass

Rohtang Pass Trip - Tips from the expert

Rohtang Pass attracts around 25 Lakh visitors a year but is devoid of any basicamenities- no

toilets, clean eateries etc.

You can hire snow clothesfrom one of the many shops at Manali itself. Cost per snow suite is

around Rs. 200 - Rs.325/- per person.

The snow dress will include full body suite, boots, gloves and snow boots.

There are literally hundreds of shops and shacks offering snow dress on hire. It is better to hire

from a shop rather than from a shack.

Please check boots and gloves thoroughly as many are torn. Wearing torn shoe or gloves is

dangerous.

It is better to go to Rohtang Pass by taxi hired from Him Anchal taxi union at Manali (cost

Rs.1,700 fixed) than by Rohtang Pass HPTDC tourist bus . HPTDC Bus stops way away from action

zone (snow activity) and you need to hire a pony to reach the action zone. This makes trip by

HPTDC bus more expensive than travelling in a taxi. Please start early so that you are not stuck in traffic and your taxi can drop you near the action

zone. Most drivers are unfortunately not tourist friendly and will try to fleece you. You need to

be on gaurd and be firm on what you will pay for snow dress, snowmobile etc.

While at Rohtang Pass

Bargain for every activity - skiing, snow mobile, tyre drop etc at Rohtang

Skiing at Rohtang is rudimentary and you do not need a guide. Guide will cost you Rs.1,500 and

do nothing more than hold you while you pretend to ski.

Snow mobiles do not follow any particular track, so please do avoid crowded part of Rohtang

pass unless you want to be mowed down by a speeding snow mobile

For all the effort of reaching Rohtang Pass, you will stay for only three to four hours. The crowds

makes the experience less interesting that it ought to be.

Beyond Rohtang Pass If you have your own vehicle, ask the driver to take you to Koksar, an hours drive beyond Rohtang

Pass. You can have your lunch at Dabhas in Koksar. If you are visiting Manali during July - October, the

chances are that snow would have melted away. However, it is the best time for scenic drives beyond

Rohtang Pass.

8/11

The best drive would be the iconic Manali - Leh ride on a motor bike. At the minimum, drive onwards

from Rohtang Pass to Gondhla to visit an ancient castle that looks straight out of a fairy tale.

Once the tunnel under construction is open to tourists by end 2015, Rohtang Pass will be bypassed

completly

Snow Point

Snow Point is not any particular location, rather, it is just a stretch of snow on the way to Rohtang La

identified by local vendors to set up their stalls. In peak winters, Snow point is at a location very close toManali.

As the summer progresses, location of snow point moves higher and higher till it reaches Rani Nullah

and then further towards the Rohtang Pass. Enthusiasm of tourists converts snow point into some sort

of a snow theme park. Tourists and honeymoonerscan indulge in various snow activities like Amateur

skiing, yak rides, snow scotters and snow mobiles and of course throwing snow balls at one another.

Attractions enroute Manali to Rohtang La

Nehru Kund: A natural spring, 5 Kms from Manali town.

Kothi: River Beas runs through a narrow gorge setting up an attractive landscapes with plenty of

photo opportunities.

Rohtang Pass :Vendor Menace

Local vendors will stop your vehicle to offer heavy woollen dresses, pony rides and what-have-you.

Learn to ignore them. When you need to buy or hire anything, be prepared to negotiate.

Vendors will start with exhorbitant rate, Government fixed rate (see photo above) should be your

starting point for negotiation. Do not pay more than what is shown in the table as actual charges.

Be careful of what you hire as most vendors pass on sub standard materials. A broken shoe can hurt you

badly in snow.

Do not buy saffron or anything else at Rohtang Pass - they are all sub standard and cheap.

Note : All Non Himachal Pradesh bearing vehicles are banned on the Manali-Rohtang highway. They

need special permission to travel to Rohtang Pass.

Gondhla

(3,160m) On the right bank or the river Chandra, this is enroute from Manali to Keylong. Gondhla has level stretches of

cultivated land and its most distinctive feature is the eight-storeyed timber and stone. Lower that was the residence of the

Local thakur, chief. The monastery has historical importance and every July; this is the site of a large fair where masked

dances commemorate the victory over Tibetan king, Langdarma, an enemy of Buddhism. Opposite Gondhla, a sheer cliff

rises over 1500m and forms a spectacular sight.
