FAQ

How do we get from Delhi to Manali on this trip?

By overnight semi-sleeper Volvo, about 12–14 hours. It leaves Delhi in the evening and reaches Manali in the morning, so you don’t lose a day. We book the seats.

Will there be snow in Solang?

Usually from late December to February, and on the higher slopes into March. Outside winter, Solang has paragliding, the ropeway and green meadows instead.

Is Rohtang Pass included?

No. Rohtang needs an online vehicle permit with a daily limit, and it is usually open only from May or June to November. We can add it on request, at extra cost. The Atal Tunnel day to Sissu is included.

Can we go by private cab instead of the Volvo?

Yes. Delhi to Manali is about 540 km and 12–14 hours by road. Ask us for a cab quote, or see our Manali trip by cab from Chandigarh.
