The Victoria Bridge is the green-painted suspension footbridge that links the old town of Mandi to the south-bank settlements of Purani Mandi. It is no longer the main vehicle crossing but remains in use by foot traffic, and the rattle of the iron-plate deck as you cross is one of the small distinctive sounds of the town.
The bridge is the obvious landmark for the temple trail: cross north-to-south to reach Trilokinath, then walk back along the riverbank to Panchvaktra at the confluence. Midstream, the view downstream takes in the river curving past the Raj Mahal ruins and the eighty-one temples that gave Mandi its nickname.
