Sulphur baths inside a sage's ancient temple courtyard, and the orchard trail beyond to Jogini's 160-ft goddess waterfall.

Manali's adventure bowl — paragliding, zorbing and ropeway rides in summer; ski and snowboard slopes when the snow settles.

To the Beas's glacial birth-bowl under Shitidhar and Friendship Peak — a weekend classic through Dhundi and Bakarthach's boulder meadows.

Rohtang Pass
Manali, Himachal Pradesh
The dramatic 3,978-m saddle above Manali where the green Kullu valley flips to Lahaul's stark moonscape — snow walls in early summer, glacier views, and the high-altitude thrill that made it Bollywood's favourite mountain backdrop.

The Kullu kings' 1460 timber-bonded castle over the Beas, up the lane from Nicholas Roerich's painting-filled homestead and gallery.

The classic crossover — four days from Kullu's green gorges over the 4,270-m pass into Lahaul's brown moonscape, ending at Chandratal.

Malana Village
Kullu, Himachal Pradesh
The self-governing village of Jamlu devta — its own parliament, its own rules of touch, and lanes that watched empires come and go.
