Book Spa Treatments in Advance
Call your boutique hotel's spa before arrival to reserve couples treatments. Popular time slots (evenings, weekends) fill up quickly, especially for romantic packages.
Hire a Private Driver
Rather than self-driving or public transport, arrange a private car through your hotel. Makes exploration stress-free and allows you to focus on romance without navigation worries.
Bring Layers and Comfortable Walking Shoes
February weather includes cold mornings/evenings but warm afternoons. Pack sweaters, jackets, and waterproof shoes for mountain activities and riverside walks.
Plan Romantic Surprises
Coordinate with your hotel concierge for special touches: flower arrangements, champagne delivery to room, surprise dinner reservations, or customized mountain activities.
Arrive Early to Acclimate
Manali sits at 6,400 feet elevation. Arriving a day before your main itinerary begins helps avoid altitude sickness and ensures you're fully present for romantic activities.
