Nestled at the base of Rohtang Pass, Kothi Village in Himachal Pradesh is a peaceful escape located just 15 km from Manali. At an altitude of 2,500 meters, it has long served as a resting point for traders and shepherds traversing the Lahaul-Spiti route. Today, the Kothi Village attracts travellers who are in search of a serene experience away from the regular tourist crowd. Surrounded by steep gorges carved by the Beas River and forests of pine and deodar, the village is also home to a temple dedicated to Goddess Shuwang Chandika, making it one of the best places to visit in Himachal Pradesh. 

Trekkers often begin their journey to Gulaba, Marhi, or Rohtang from here. In winter, Kothi Village transforms into a snowy wonderland, and during the spring and summer, it blooms with wildflowers and clear blue skies.

Its rustic cottages, calm surroundings, and connection to ancient trade routes make Kothi a blend of natural charm and cultural roots, an underrated gem for those exploring beyond Manali’s mainstream offerings.

Even though we’re from Delhi and have visited nearby hills before, this full Himachal trip felt really special. The drive from Shimla to Manali was beautiful, with great dhaba stops along the way. We also explored Mall Road, Kufri, and Solang Valley, which made the trip even better. Everything was well managed, and it turned out to be a great experience!
