Old Manali is a charming village across the Manalsu River from new Manali, known for its apple orchards, traditional wooden houses, cafes, and the majestic Hadimba Temple (1553 AD) set within a dense deodar cedar forest. The temple's unique pagoda-style wooden architecture with the towering cedar trees creates an atmospheric, mystical backdrop. The forest around the temple has dappled light that is a photographer's dream.
