MGM International Travels, on the main road and Kwick Travels at the Manali Guest House are both good. The newer Oxford Arcade is closer to the beach. Everything, from a loaf of bread to a Christmas turkey and other goodies, is available. Foreign currency can be changed here and at several other places around the village. Tibetan and Kashmiri traders, Gujarati in colourful clothes women and hippies gather here.
Bargaining is an exciting part of the experience.
Stalls are set up at the market in the morning and remain open until sunset. There are a few beachside restaurants in the area. The German Bakery serves good herbal teas, espresso coffee and snacks. Sea Breeze Caf has good food but is crowded on market days. There are also a few rooms to let.
