Mani Ram Dhaba (Jana Waterfall)
True hidden gem. Dhaba sits right beside a waterfall. Food is authentic Himachali — red rice, rajma, siddu, etc. Scenic mountain-valley views. Very homely.
How to reach _ On the route to the jungles of Kais, near Manali — in a remote village beside the waterfall at Jana.

Taxi drivers (or guides) quote very high fares to places like Solang, Rohtang, etc. Sometimes they say gear or snow-attire is not available elsewhere so you have to buy from them at inflated rate

Solang Valley Road Tip

Road to Solang Valley is smooth till Palchan; a few icy turns near the ropeway after sunset.
Best time to go: before 9 AM.
Tip – park before the last bend to avoid traffic jams and enjoy a short walk with valley views

The road from Banjar to Gushaini is narrow but scenic — waterfalls on one side, pine forest on the other.
Drive carefully after 6 PM; no streetlights and frequent wildlife crossings

Sethan village, 12 km above Manali, is lesser known.
You can rent igloo-style stays here in winter and watch stars all night ❄️✨
4×4 required in snow months (Dec–Feb).
