Where to sleep
A dorm in Old Manali with a locker. About ₹800 a night when I went.
Manali in three cheap days
A dorm in Old Manali, one walk to Jogini, and the bus back. No raft, no cafe crawl.

Before you go. Ask the price of the bed before you sit down. Old Manali markup is real after dark.
Overview
Written after doing it on a bus ticket and a locker. The point is the town and one walk, not a package.
Day by day
Day 1 — Bus in, locker, sleep
Overnight bus to Manali. Do not sightsee on the arrival morning. Eat, wash, sleep.
Day 2 — Jogini and back
Walk to the waterfall in the morning and be down for a late lunch. Old Manali lane in the evening, not a second trek.
Day 3 — Out
Morning bus. The mall road can wait for another notebook.
Where to sleep, eat, and how to get there
Move
How to arrive
One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.

Stuck to three days. Jogini and the bus. The number held.
