What about best time to visit?

- March-June: 10-25°C, clear. Peak season — book early. - July-Sept: Monsoon. Lush green but landslide risk. - Oct-Nov: Crisp autumn, fewer crowds. Best for trekking. - Dec-Feb: Snow season. Magical but cold (-5 to 10°C). Book heated rooms.

1. Stay in Old Manali not Mall Road — it's a 20-minute walk but a different world 2. Rent a scooter to Solang — cheaper and more fun than taxis 3. Eat at Drifter's Café in Old Manali — best Israeli food in the Himalayas 4. Visit Jogini Falls — 30-minute walk from Old Manali, most tourists don't know about it 5.
