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.

Kothi Village Highlights

• Explore Kothi Village, Himachal Pradesh’s alpine meadows, wooden cottages, and snow-capped Himalayan peaks in peaceful seclusion.
• Visit the ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Shuwang Chandika and learn about its local mythological significance.
• Watch winter snow blanket the village in serenity, offering a peaceful escape even when Rohtang is closed.
• Start picturesque hikes from Kothi to Gulaba, Marhi, and Rohtang Pass for alpine adventures.
• Camp beside the Beas River gorge to soak in starlit skies and crisp Himalayan air.

Our group trip from Rajkot to Himachal Pradesh was truly one of the most memorable experiences ever. Shopping for wooden handicrafts on Mall Road was a highlight, and the view from our hotel balcony in Kufri was absolutely mesmerizing. Paresh was always available on call whenever we needed help, making the trip smooth and hassle-free. Thanks to Thrillophilia for such a wonderful experience!

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!

Traveling all the way from Bhubaneswar, we were really looking forward to the mountains, and Dharamshala turned out to be so peaceful. The visit to the Dalai Lama temple was truly calming. Anand handled our itinerary changes very patiently. Thanks to Thrillophilia for making the trip smooth and memorable!

Booked a Himachal package from Nagpur and had a really nice experience. The hotels in Shimla were better than expected, and walking on Mall Road at night felt truly special. Amit ensured all our transfers were on time, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. Overall, a very enjoyable trip!
