Nehru Kund refers to a natural cold water spring that originates from the Brighu River. The springs are located 5 Kilometers from Manali on the national highway to Leh towards Keylong.

Vashist Hot Water Springs: Vashist, a small village 3 kms from Manali located on the Left Bank of River Beas in Manali towards Rohtang pass is worth a visit, which is renowned for its Hot Water Springs and Temple. The place lies at a distance of 4-5 kilometers from Manali and is situated across the Beas River. 

Rohtang pass is 3 hrs away from the Manali valley or can say Mall road and same is for Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara.They would be covered on different days and Rohtang Pass deserves more time than Manikaran.

Day 1: (Manali-Keylong Road) - Rohtang Pass (51 km), Rahla Naala (10 minutes stop over), Hidimba Devi Temple (Roja or the latest hit Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani), Green Forest Cafe (just walk down the back stairs of Hidimba Devi Temple)

Day 2: Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara (Some 3 Hrs away from Mall road. Known for its hot water springs and all time running langar. Leave as early as possible in the morning)
River Rafting: (While going to Manikaran keep yourself ready for River Rafting which is the most sought after activity in Manali Valley. You may opt for river rafting while going to Manikaran or while coming back but do keep extra clothes for your self.)
Kasol Valley: Just some 15min before Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara you will happen to land at this place. Keep some time for this place i would say atleast an Hour 

Day 3: Soland Valley: Public transport is not so good. There are cheap bus services, but they are not so frequent. Yet, if you are going to stay for a long time, it is better to know the times and use them, as other modes of public transport are exorbitant compared to bus. For e.g., auto rickshaws take ₹200 from manali mall road to Solang valley, while the bus will cost you just ₹10.
Solang Valley in Manali is located at a distance of 13 kms in a side valley at the top of the Kullu valley is a splendid valley between Solang village and Beas Kund. 

Club House: many activities for kids. Rope swing , train ride , ice creams etc all for kids you will find here.

Important Note:  If you are hiring a vehicle then better rent a four wheel drive vehicle from Manali. Some times the local people along with police does not allow the non-four wheel drive vehicles from going beyond Snow-Point(a place 16km before Rohtang Pass)and force to hire their own 4x4 vehicle at exorbitant prices which can be up to ₹1,500-2,000 per person. This happens in the winter times when there is heavy snow fall. The tours organized by HPTDC does not go up to Rohtang pass and terminate at Snow-Point. Shared taxis are also available.
