Manali Riverside Cottages sit right on the banks of the rushing Manalsu river in Old Manali, surrounded by apple orchards and pine forest. Stone-and-timber cottages come with private sit-outs where the only soundtrack is the river.
The bohemian cafés of Old Manali are a short uphill walk, and the in-house kitchen serves wood-fired pizzas, trout and hearty Himachali dishes. Evenings end with a bonfire under the stars.

The sound of the river right outside our cottage was so calming. Trout for dinner and the bonfire under the stars made it a perfect mountain break.
The orchard cottage was ideal for our group of four. Walking up to the cafés and coming back to this quiet spot was the best of both worlds.
