TOL Eila Art Hotel, Naggar
Manali, a picturesque hill station in Himachal Pradesh, is further enhanced by a trip to its many wonderful waterfalls. Travellers and newlyweds flock to Manali every year. The tranquillity and beauty of the area are enhanced by the Beas River’s flow through the area. It’s not just the town’s natural setting that draws visitors; the area’s many waterfalls are a sight to behold. The best waterfalls in Manali that you simply must visit on your trip to the North are listed below.
Jogini Falls – Jogini Falls, which drops from a height of 160 feet, is arguably the most visited waterfall in the Manali area. It is best to visit during the summer months if you want to take advantage of the warm weather and refreshing waters. Other times of the year, the water temperature drops to below freezing. You can begin your trek through the pine- and orchard-lined 2 km path that begins at the Vashisht temple. Additionally, you can drive relatively close to the falls and then walk the remaining distance. The top of the waterfalls can be reached after an hour-long hike for the truly adventurous. From Manali, it is a total of 4.8 kilometres.
Sajla Falls – Sajla, also spelled Sajjla, is another one of Manali’s enchanting waterfalls. The water here is crystal clear and extremely beautiful to look at because it pools at the bottom. This milky white waterfall, which drops from a height of about 20 feet, is best seen between June and September. The Vishnu temple in Sajla village is a good place to start your trek, and the path is well-marked the whole way. When you’re done admiring the Deodar trees, it’s time to cool off in the river and emerge feeling like a brand new person. This experience is made more “filling,” if that’s even possible, by the presence of a small cafe in the area. As a whole, you can get to Manali after travelling 10.8 kilometres.
There are many more beautiful waterfalls in Manali besides the ones we’ve listed here. Most commonly used names include Jana, Rahala, Rozy, and Knoi. There are resorts around the natural beauty, high-end amenities, and a positive atmosphere all come together to make for an unforgettable vacation.
Jana Waterfalls – Jana Falls is actually a collection of smaller waterfalls rather than a single, large one. Despite knowing that winter is not the best time to visit waterfalls in the Himalayas, The typical day trip from Manali to Jana waterfall covers the same 35 kilometres and takes the same one hour and fifteen minutes. Naggar is a major stop along the way. About 12 kilometres separate Naggar and the nearest town. And the journey’s most beautiful stretch begins right around Naggar. There is a one-lane road (starting in Naggar) that leads to the waterfall and on to the Bijli Mahadev Temple, both of which are well-known attractions in Himachal Pradesh. The Shiva lingam at the Bijli Mahadev temple is reportedly struck by lightning bolts once a year for no apparent reason, hence the name. Lighting is referred to as “Bijli” in Hindi. Due to the poor condition of the road, 4x4s are the recommended mode of transportation to the temple at any time of year. In either Manali or Naggar, you can find Gypsy services. The 30 kilometres from Jana waterfall to Bijli Mahadev temple are another scenic drive through a forest of pine and oak trees. Jana waterfall is a beautiful picnic spot if you time your visit right. It’s surrounded by pine trees, deodar trees, and apple orchards. As expected, the months of April, May, and June (peak tourist season) will be overrun with visitors, diminishing the quality of your time there. The best time to visit Jana waterfall is during the monsoon season (July through October). It is during the said 4 months that you will find the waterfalls across the Himalayas the most ferocious, hence more picturesque.
Baror Parsha Waterfalls – When you want to visit the Baror Parsha waterfalls, you need to search for Simsa Village, and then ask anyone for directions to the waterfall. There are no public buses running along this route at this time and a taxi ride could cost anywhere from 700 to 1200 Rupees. The beginning of the trail to the Baror Parsha Waterfall is located less than 5 kilometres from Mall Road. It’s about a 45-minute uphill hike from the trailhead to the waterfall. Unlike the jungle trail to Jogini Waterfall, which many visitors find intimidating, the Tourism Department has constructed well-maintained walking steps to make the ascent to the waterfall much more manageable. There will be no possibility of losing the trail in this case. The entire trail to Parsha waterfall is rather steep, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who has breathing problems, but everyone else (including young children and the elderly) should be fine.
Kasheri Waterfalls – When the sun is directly overhead in the morning, the falls are at their most awe-inspiring. Approximately two in the afternoon, when the sun sets behind a mountain, the temperature drops dramatically (and windy too). You need to get everything in order.
You can see the mountains in every direction from this point. A gushing river traces a winding course between rows of mountains that meet the blue sky at the horizon.
You’ll need to cross a metal bridge that’s been built over a tributary of the Beas river just before you reach the Kasheri village. To get to the river’s edge, you need to descend the rocks at the start of the bridge.
