We visited there in the month of October and the 360-degree view from the top was magnificent. We witness snow-capped mountains on one side and amazing views of Kullu and Parvati Valley as well. It was the best visit we had on a Manali Trip.

It was the finest experience we had. Visiting the shiva temple surrounded by snow and at a height of 2460 meters was indeed an amazing experience. The views from the hill are astonishing and worth the efforts to climb until that height.
