Delhi to Manikaran Trip (Himachal Pradesh):- Manikaran lies in the state of Himachal Pradesh. A beautiful historical, religious, and tourist destination, also known as a pilgrim spot.
Let’s start with our Delhi to Manikaran trip.
A land of famed Gurudwara engulfed in hills and a mythological attachment that lord Shiva and Guru Nanak ji have visited here.
The best time to visit Manikaran is from April to June or after monsoons September-October.
We planned a two days trip in September, and we planned to explore all the famous Places to Visit in Manikaran. It took us around 12 hours to reach from Delhi to Manikaran via the NH4 route, which is approximately 516 KMs.
One can see a large number of pilgrims here, at any time of the year. A Hot spring which has surrounded this area is the main attraction. As per mythology, a holy dip in Manikaran hot spring can eliminate the sins of a lifetime.
So to build new memories and explore historical and mythological magic in the same place, we started our journey in a full of adventurous mood. Though it was a long almost 12 hours drive, the magical sunset and the view on the way were enough to recharge us.
Pictures speak louder than a word, so let me take you on a picture gallery tour of some beautiful places to visit here.
