This is a must-know if you are planning to visit Kullu-Manali. Himachal Pradesh administration sources said that henceforth it is mandatory to take proper permission from the forest department and local administration for camping and pitching tents in Manali. The administration has taken this step to stop illegal camping sites in the forest area of Kullu Manali. Not only that, everyone will have to pay a fee of Rs. 50/- to enter the forest area from now on. A special team has also been formed to manage those matters.
