GTM Manali River Cottages is a slice of paradise located along the scenic banks of the Beas River in Patlikuhal, just 16 km from Manali. This unique destination not only captivates with its enchanting views but also offers exceptional hospitality from its owners, who ensure your relaxation, time management, and overall comfort. It’s one of the few places where I’ve experienced daily bonfire nights accompanied by delicious dinners and soft music by the riverside. The sunrises here are truly breathtaking, especially when paired with a variety of healthy, hearty breakfasts. Trust me, staying here provides a rejuvenating experience, enhanced by expert guidance, personalized itineraries, and memorable travel experiences in Manali and beyond.
A Serene Slice of Heaven – GTM Manali (16 km Before Manali, By the Beas River)
Our recent stay at 'GTM Manali' , a beautiful riverside cottage located just 16 km before Manali by the tranquil Beas River, was nothing short of magical. If you’re looking for peace, comfort, and a truly local experience wrapped in breathtaking views — this is the place.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by the wonderful owners, Rahul and Subodh. Their hospitality was unmatched — always available, extremely knowledgeable, and ever-ready to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Rahul, being a travel enthusiast himself, had some amazing recommendations and insights that made our trip even more enriching. It felt more like visiting family than staying at a commercial property.
The location is outstanding — right by the river, with the soothing sounds of flowing water and scenic views that stretch for miles. Whether you're sipping chai in the garden or stargazing at night, it’s an experience that stays with you.
We booked the all-inclusive package, which covered our stay, delicious home-cooked meals, and even drivers to explore not only the surrounding areas but also far off glaciers and mountains. This is where GTM truly stands out — they don’t just offer a stay, they offer an experience.
Our two drivers were both locals and absolutely incredible in their own ways.
Ankaj, the extroverted one, was an absolute delight — full of humor, stories, and incredible energy. But more importantly, he was incredibly knowledgeable about all the best spots — from hidden gems to tourist favorites — and truly the master of the roads, with years of experience navigating the region safely and smoothly.
Lucky, on the other hand, brought a quiet calm to the journey — silent, composed, and dependable. His peaceful nature made for relaxing rides, and his local awareness was equally impressive.
The staff at the cottage were equally amazing — polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Special mention to Kamal, the cook — not only did he prepare some of the best meals we had during our trip, but his charming personality added a warm, welcoming touch to every mealtime.
Whether you're a family, a couple, or a group of friends, GTM Manali is the kind of place that leaves a mark on your heart. It’s peaceful, homely, scenic, and full of good vibes — everything you’d want from a mountain retreat.
Highly recommended — and definitely a place we’ll be returning to!
Trust the owner Mr rahul And go there. Riverside Cottages neat and clean. Owners behavior is mind blowing. He can make some trails through himalayas which one should not miss.
