About Manali
Manali sits at the head of the Kullu valley, where the Beas comes down from the Rohtang side through forests of deodar. It is the most loved hill town in Himachal for good reason: snow within an hour in winter, apple orchards in autumn, and the Atal Tunnel that now takes you under the Pir Panjal into Lahaul in about twenty minutes.
We plan Manali trips with one car and driver from Chandigarh and back, hotels and homestays we know, and a day-by-day plan that leaves room for the weather.
What to see
- Hadimba temple in the cedar forest
- Old Manali and the Vashisht hot springs
- Solang Valley for snow, the ropeway and paragliding
- The Atal Tunnel and Sissu in Lahaul
- Rafting on the Beas near Kullu
Best time to visit
March to June for clear days and green valleys; December to February for snow. July and August bring monsoon rain and the odd landslide, so we keep those plans flexible.
How to reach
About 540 km from Delhi (12 to 14 hours) and 300 km from Chandigarh (8 to 9 hours) by road. The nearest airport is Bhuntar near Kullu, about 50 km away.
