It's such a delight to have found this hidden gem in such a perfect location! It's right between Old Manali and Mall Road area, and doesn't require steep walking. Situated below Hadimba Temple (2 minutes on foot) and Old Manali (3 minutes on foot), it's simply perfect! The room is very nice, clean and spacious. The attached bathroomis very clean and has a lovely hot shower. Free WiFi has a strong signal. Forest view from the balcony is priceless. Very affordable and tasty food and drinks are available at Asha Cottage. The manager is really friendly. Unfortunately I only stayed for one night, I wish to stay longer! Thanks a lot! 😊
"Asha Cottage is hands down the best budget stay in Manali for long-term travelers and remote workers. The Wi-Fi is super reliable, rooms are clean and spacious, and the view of pine forests makes working here a dream. It’s rare to find such homely hospitality — they serve delicious homemade food and make you feel at home from day one. Highly recommend this cozy stay in Manali for anyone looking for work-from-mountains vibes!"
