Sethan
सेथन
A small Buddhist village at about 2,700 metres, with deep snow in winter. You can stay in snow houses and try snowboarding and snow hikes.
Sethan is a small village in the Hamta Valley east of Manali, about 12 km from town. Most villagers are migrants who follow Tibetan Buddhism. Winter brings deep snow and few visitors. Local camps offer snow house (ice house) accommodation, beginner snowboarding and snowshoe hikes. It is a quieter alternative to Solang Valley for playing in the snow. In summer it is a stop on the way to Hamta Pass. In winter you need a four-wheel-drive vehicle or snow chains, so check that the road is open before you set out.
