2-Star Hotels in Manali

High in the Himalayas, Manali is a mountain town that serves as the gateway to the high-altitude deserts of Ladakh and a beloved escape for Indian and international travelers alike. Its main draw is the dramatic combination of adventure and serenity: you can spend your morning rafting on the roaring Beas River, your afternoon exploring the ancient stone temples of Old Manali, and your evening watching the sunset paint the snows of Rohtang Pass in shades of pink. The air is crisp with pine, and the pace is set by the river's flow.

For a lively base with easy access to the Mall Road market and the Hadimba Temple, stay in central Manali. Couples and solo travelers often prefer the quieter, bohemian vibe and cafes of Old Manali, just across the river. Families might opt for the more spacious properties around the apple orchards of Aleo or the hot springs at Vashisht. The town is well-connected by a long but scenic drive from Delhi, and the Bhuntar Airport is about an hour away.

On HOTEVI, you'll find around 50 places to stay in the area. Accommodation ranges from simple backpacker hostels and family-run guesthouses in the old town to comfortable mid-range hotels with valley views along the Circuit House Road. A handful of upscale resorts with full spas are tucked away in the surrounding hills for those seeking more seclusion.
