1. Vashisht Jogini Waterfall Trek

The leisurely 2-kilometre trek to Jogini Waterfall begins at Vashisht Temple which is located around 2 km from the main market. You can hail public transport to reach the temple. Auto rickshaws, (Read More)buses, and taxis are the best modes of public transportation in Manali. Those opting for self-driven vehicles can park it in the temple parking at a nominal hourly charge.

Once you are done visiting the compound and paying your respects, you can start the trek through a narrow lane adjacent to the temple. This lane passes through pine tree plantations and beautiful apple orchards. As you walk through the alley, you will get a beautiful view of River Beas and Rohtang. If you wish to take a break, there are many small restaurants and eating joints on the way.

The trek from Vashisht Temple can be completed leisurely, and it takes about 45 minutes to reach the base of Jogini waterfall where you will spot a small temple dedicated to Yogini Mata. This temple is visited by the locals who bring their kids here for mundan (first tonsure).

From this point, you can climb up to reach the top of the waterfall or choose to descend on a narrow side path which will take you to the base of the Jogini Waterfalls. This spot has a small pool formed by the cascading water and is perfect for relaxing and taking a plunge.

If you want to climb to the top of the bewitching Jogini Waterfall, take the challenging trail from the right side of the lower waterfall. The climb to the top is a little arduous but the reward is the mind-stirring view of Manali Valley.
