in the hot springs. The site of ancient temples & the Shiva temple in Shikhara style and nearby old Devi Sharvali temple, dedicated to the goddess Gayatri (a sister of Durga) walk one km from the heart of the town and visit the 600 years old Hadimba Devi temple with a four tiered pagoda shaped roof, a somber, wooden shrine set in a cedar grove. According to the Mahabharata Bhima, who wanted to marry Hadimba, first had to kill cruel demon brother Hadimba that he did in this grove. Another exterior and door covered with handsome carvings received a dubious token of gratitude from the king. He was so enormed with the results, he cut off the artist's hand to prevent him from duplicating another temple that might rival the Hadimba. The influx of Tibetan refugees in Manali has left its stamp on the town. The new Tibetan monastery just behind the bus stop, in an area called model town and adjoining it the Tibetan bazaar, are examples. Farther north from Manali is Kothi, is quite village at the foot of the Rohtang pass. Offering the dramatic views of massive snow-covered peaks. Dinner & overnight at hotel.
