When school is over and summer heat starts to kick in, families look to find a great vacation, a place that provides cool weather, a lot of fun activities, and the opportunity to make wonderful memories. Rather than fighting crowds at beaches or checking out some nondescript hill station, this year try a fantastical place located inside a sea of towering pine trees, snow-dusted mountains, and open meadows – Solang Valley.
Located just 13 km from Manali, Solang Valley has quietly transformed into one of the Best Places to Stay in Manali, and in particular for families who want to take advantage of their summer holidays. Here is a look at why Solang Valley is the best summer break destination from 2025 for kids.
1. Cool Weather and Clean Air – A Natural Playground
While much of India is sweltering away in May and June, Solang Valley enjoys daytime temperatures between 10°C–20°C. This means kids can enjoy playing, exploring and breathing fresh mountain air. Research shows that natural environments lead to reduced stress levels and increased attention span for children, so think of Solang not simply as a holiday, but as a wellness holiday for your child!
2. Endless Outdoor Activities That Kids Love
Solang is a mini-adventure hub minus the overwhelming rush of commercial tourist traps. Kids can try:
- Zorbing on lush green slopes
- Horse riding through forested trails
- ATV rides for the older ones
- Cable car rides offering breathtaking views
- And yes, even snow patches in early June for playful snowball fights!
The valley’s wide open spaces mean your kids get to be, well kids -running, laughing, exploring.
3. Family-Friendly Stay Options at Solang Valley Resorts
When traveling with kids, comfort and safety are non-negotiable — and that’s exactly what Solang Valley Resorts delivers. As the leading family friendly resort in Solang Valley, we offer:
- Spacious rooms with valley views
- In-house dining with kid-friendly menus

5. Close to Manali’s Best Attractions

- Hadimba Temple
- Manali Mall Road
- Jogini Waterfalls
- Nehru Kund
So you get the best of both worlds — peaceful nights and action-packed days.
Final Thoughts
In 2025, family travel should no longer be about simply checking off boxes beside destinations. Family travel is about the adventure and the beautiful memories we create together as a family. Solang Valley is a wild little escape that has fresh air, limitless child-friendly adventures, luxurious yet safe accommodations, and epic memories waiting to be made for parents and kids alike. So when you think about a memorable Summer holiday in Manali with your family, don’t just stick with the crowded tourist hotspots. Let your children run free in the meadows of Solang Valley riding horses (or llamas) under the open skies in the summer sun while you drift to sleep to the sound of the wind blowing through the pines.
