The Paradise, Old Manali

Offering bicycles for rent, as well as Wi-Fi in public areas, the comfortable The Paradise, Old Manali hotel is only 650 metres from the Zana Falls. Located not far from the wildlife Manali Sanctuary, this 3-star guest house features 22 rooms with views of the mountain.

The hotel lies in Old Manali with quaint backpacker lodgings and bohemian cafes serving global fare, grilled trout, and pancake breakfasts with easy access to the Museum of Himachal Culture and Folk Art, which is a mere 6 minutes' walk away. The Paradise, Old Manali is within a 300-metre distance of the Shepherds Trail Gaddi Trek and just 250 m from the much-revered wood-and-stone Hidimba Devi Temple. Standing 2.1 km away, the mountaintop Shikhara-style Gayatri Temple is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.

The rooms include soundproof walls, along with such modern comforts as a TV. There is also a private bathroom.

Hangout serves a good range of Asian food and lies right around the corner from The Paradise, Old Manali hotel.
