Manali in Nov mid week 09

Hello IMers. I am planning to visit Manali on 17 Nov 09. Have plans of staying for 4/5 days.

Just wanted to see if Rohtang pass will be closed in Nov mid-week? I know the weather is unpredictable but can somebody throw light on that?

I know that last year it was closed in mid December. How is the weather now, any snow now?

This is my iternary

Day 1: Local Manali: (Hidimba Temple + Manali Market + Vashishth Temple + Van Vihar + Tibetan Monastery etc)
Day 2: Rohtang Pass + Solang Vally + Nehru Kund + Kothi + Rahla Falls
Day 3: Manikaran + Kulu + Vaishnov mata temple + Kasol Valley:
(I am ok skipping with Manikaran and vaishnov mata temple)

I am planning to stay in Manali and finishing off these locations.

Can you somebody plan the rest of the 2 days or probably the entire 5 day trip.

These are my places of interest.

Rohtang
Kothi
Marhi
Gulaba
Solang
Palchan
Vashishth
Manikaran (Not keen)
Kullu
Raison
Naggar Castle & Valley
Roerich Art Gallery (Not keen)
Keylong

I am on a tight budget and we are 6 of us. Any accommodation recommendation is appreciated.

In the mean while I am going through the threads and collecting all the information. Thanks in advance

Hi Venki
Your Itinenary is Good.
Day 1: It will take a day to see Rohtang Pass. The road to Rohtang pass is bad and so it will take around 2hrs to reach there. You cant club Solang valley along with it if you wish to spend some time there. I think the weather will be OK in November. (we went to Manali early this month - there was no snowfall).
Day 2: Solang Valley + Nehru Kund + Kothi + Rahla Falls
Day 3: You can go to Kullu. There is nothing much to see here. You can do shopping and White water rafting in Beas River.
Day 4: Manikaran + Kulu + Vaishnov mata temple + Kasol Valley
Day 5: Local Manali: (Hidimba Temple + Manali Market + Vashishth Temple + Van Vihar + Tibetan Monastery etc)

Regards
Arvind

Thanks eeboy and trance for the suggestions. Looks like i will be dropping Kullu if there is nothing to see. I want to stay a day in a place like Kasol or somewhere. I heard kasol is full Iranian hippes and they have lotta ganja parties... is it so?

Suggest me some place in and around where i can blow off the steam "smoking-up". We are 4 guys
