The Magical Land of Sethan❤️

Thrilling Escape to a Hidden Paradise – This is a winter wonderland and a summer adrenaline destination that I am glad is not super famous..❤️

Day 1

Manali

 to 

Sethan

Bike

Sethan Valley – so close yet so far! This tiny little unknown hamlet lies ridiculously close to Manali to be this unknown! It took around 1 hr to reach there. I simply fell in love with this part of Manali..❤️

Sethan is simply magical. The secluded way to the village, the generous people, the unsettled culture and the peaceful view of the valley left me in awe. This tiny hamlet of Sethan is home to about 10-15 families. ✅ Highly Recommended

Situated at the beginning of Village. ✅ Amazing host. ✅ Best deal with a great view. ✅ You can camp at their enthrallingly beautiful campsite. ✅ Since it is a small town housing no more than 20 properties, the accommodation is fairly limited.
