Your Trip in a Nutshell
- Duration
- 4 Nights / 5 Days
- Stay
- Manali (3N, selected 4 star) • Overnight return drive (1N)
- Meals
- 3 breakfasts (Day 2 to Day 4) and 3 dinners (Day 1 to Day 3), 6 meals in total
- Main Highlight
- A comfortable private Manali holiday with three nights in a selected 4 star hotel, a private cab for your group only, Manali local sightseeing, Solang Valley with seasonal Rohtang Pass, and a departure day that covers Naggar and Kullu on the way down to your drop point
- Best Season
- Rohtang is usually reachable once the authorities open the road and until snowfall makes it unsafe. There are no fixed opening or closing dates, so the alternative Lahaul route is planned for the rest of the year
- Ideal For
- Couples, families, friends, and small private groups who want a comfortable holiday with their own cab and no wasted hours on the last day
Know Before You Go
- Your return journey starts on Day 4, not Day 5. After breakfast you check out, your bags travel in the cab, you get free time around Mall Road and Old Manali, and the same cab takes you down through Naggar and Kullu before continuing to your drop point. There is no hotel night on Day 4
- For Chandigarh you usually reach around midnight or in the early hours of Day 5, and for Delhi early on Day 5 morning. Your driver takes proper meal and rest stops through the night
- If you would rather not travel overnight, tell us before booking. We can add a fourth night in Manali with a Day 5 morning departure instead. That night is priced separately and is not part of the package rate
- On the Manali to Manali option you are dropped at your agreed Manali location on Day 4 evening and the trip ends there. The three hotel nights and all the sightseeing stay the same. A transfer to Bhuntar is not included unless it is written in your confirmation
- The Day 4 stops are planned around your drive time. If you would rather leave earlier, tell your driver in the morning and we start the run down sooner, with no refund for the skipped sightseeing
- Naggar Castle is usually open every day. The Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery follows its own opening hours, weekly closure, and public holidays, and is normally shut on Mondays. If it is closed, the time is used at another Naggar spot
- River rafting on the Beas near Babeli or Pirdi is optional and paid directly. The Kullu administration suspends rafting every year through the monsoon, usually from 15 July to 15 September, and it is generally not run in peak winter when the water is low and very cold
- If you want rafting, please tell us in advance. It takes up most of the Day 4 afternoon, so the rest of the day has to be planned around it
- Shawl, handicraft, and local product outlets are optional, with no obligation to buy anything
- Rohtang Pass is not promised just because it is in the package name. The visit depends on the official opening, the road, the permit quota, maintenance days, weather, and instructions from the local administration
- The Rohtang trip needs a vehicle based permit and runs on a daily quota. The official permit portal also lists Tuesday as the regular maintenance day, though local rules can change. When that affects your Rohtang day, we swap it with the Day 2 local sightseeing. Day 4 cannot be moved, since your return journey starts that day
- The vehicle used for Rohtang follows the rules that apply on your travel date. It may be your own trip cab or a separately arranged locally authorised vehicle. Whichever applies is written in your final booking confirmation
- If Rohtang is not possible, the day may change to Solang Valley, the Atal Tunnel, the North Portal, Sissu, and the Sissu lake or waterfall viewpoint if reachable. Koksar is not automatic with every Sissu trip. It is covered only when the road, weather, vehicle, and time allow
- If the Atal Tunnel and Sissu route is also shut, we may suggest Solang Valley with Sethan, Hamta Valley, or another reachable snow point, depending on permissions, road access, and safety
- Rohtang, the Atal Tunnel, Sissu, Koksar, Sethan, and Hamta Valley are not one combined route. We pick the safest and most practical option for the conditions on the day. If you want the Atal Tunnel and Sissu in addition to Rohtang, ask before booking and we will quote an extra day
- If Rohtang is not available, we either arrange the alternative sightseeing inside your package or process the unused and recoverable Rohtang amount, as per your confirmation. If you accept the alternative and it is completed, no separate Rohtang refund applies, because the excursion has been replaced
- If neither Rohtang nor the confirmed alternative can be run, the unused and recoverable Rohtang amount is refunded. Your hotel, meals, base transport, and other completed services are not part of that refund. Government permit fees, congestion charges, or vendor payments already issued and officially non refundable may be deducted
- No refund applies if Rohtang is running and the arrangements are made, but you decide not to go, report late, or cannot travel for personal reasons
- Snowfall and ground snow cannot be promised. Visiting Rohtang, Solang Valley, Sissu, or another snow point does not mean there will be fresh snow or a set amount of it
- Your cab is private for your booking and is never shared with unrelated travellers. The vehicle is chosen by your number of adults and children, luggage, pick up point, route, and the comfort level you select. A sedan usually suits two or three travellers with reasonable luggage, while families and bigger groups may need an MUV, SUV, or Tempo Traveller
- Seating capacity is not the same as comfortable touring capacity. Extra luggage cuts into comfort and may need a bigger vehicle at extra cost. Innova, Innova Crysta, or any specific model is provided only when it is written in your final confirmation. Vehicle colour, registration number, and exact model cannot be promised unless agreed in writing
- The cab covers your confirmed itinerary and reasonable sightseeing duty, including the Day 4 route through to your final drop, and is not at your disposal beyond that. Air conditioning may not work on hilly stretches, steep climbs, or while parked, which is normal for mountain driving. Your driver helps with the route and local coordination but is not a professional guide
- One pick up and one drop at agreed locations are included. Multiple pick ups, faraway locations, route changes, and extra waiting may cost more. Your pick up point should be reachable by the confirmed vehicle
- The usual hotel check in time is 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM and check out is 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Early check in and late check out depend on availability and may cost extra. On Day 4 the usual check out time applies and your bags then travel in the cab
- The hotel is a selected 4 star property, but a mountain view, valley view, balcony, bathtub, room heater, lift, air conditioning, or a Mall Road location is not promised unless it is written in your hotel confirmation. In the hills, room size, views, and facilities can differ between properties even in the same category
- Triple sharing rooms may come with an extra mattress or rollaway bed rather than three proper beds. Family rooms and interconnected rooms depend on availability. Breakfast and dinner may be a buffet or a fixed menu based on hotel occupancy, and the menu and service format are decided by the hotel
- If you reach Manali after the hotel kitchen closes on Day 1, we request a simple or packed dinner wherever the hotel can provide it. A full buffet dinner cannot be promised after regular kitchen hours. Day 4 dinner is not included, since you are on the road that evening, and your driver stops at a reasonable place to eat
- Parts of Mall Road, Old Manali, and the temple areas need to be explored on foot because vehicles are not allowed beyond certain points
- Jogini Waterfall can be added on request, but it needs extra walking and time. If you choose it, some regular local sightseeing points may be skipped, and any transport or route difference is shared with you beforehand
- Rohtang is high up. If you have breathing problems, heart conditions, severe asthma, pregnancy related concerns, or other serious medical conditions, consult a doctor before you travel. Avoid heavy physical activity at height, drink water, and tell your driver or our team if you feel unwell
- Every adult should carry an original government issued photo ID. Children should carry something that shows their date of birth. These may be needed for the hotel, permits, or local checks
- Carry layered warm clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, basic medicines, a reusable water bottle, and a small day bag. Winter clothing and snow gear can usually be rented locally and are not included
- Weather, traffic, landslides, snowfall, and official restrictions can change travel time and sightseeing. We give you the most practical option available, but natural conditions cannot be controlled. If a disruption needs extra stay, meals, or travel, that cost is payable by you, and we help with the arrangements
- The shown price may be a starting price based on selected dates, minimum occupancy, and one pick up option. The final cost depends on your travel dates, season, weekends, holidays, hotel availability, number of travellers, room needs, vehicle, and pick up point. Peak season, snowfall season, festive, and last minute bookings may cost more
- The price shown is per person and is the same for adults and children. If you are travelling with a young child who may not need an extra bed, share their age when you ask for a quote and we will confirm the final amount
- Avoid booking a tight train or flight on the morning you arrive at your drop point. Delays from traffic, weather, roadwork, or landslides do happen on this route
- Your booking is confirmed only after the required payment is received and we issue a written confirmation. That confirmation should clearly mention your hotel, room category, meal plan, vehicle category, pick up option, Rohtang arrangement, and cancellation terms
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hotel nights are included?
Three nights in Manali plus the overnight return drive on Day 4, which makes four nights across five days. If you choose Manali to Manali, you get the three hotel nights and your trip ends on Day 4 evening, since there is no long journey home.
Why does the trip end on Day 4 instead of Day 5?
Your return journey starts on Day 4. After breakfast you check out and your bags go into the cab. You get a couple of free hours around Mall Road and Old Manali, then the cab takes you down the valley through Naggar and Kullu, and from there the drive continues towards your drop point.
Where do our bags go after check out on Day 4?
Yes. Your cab is with you from check out right through to your final drop, and your bags travel in it. You are not tied to a checkout deadline and you do not have to leave luggage at reception.
What time do we reach Delhi or Chandigarh?
For Chandigarh you usually reach around midnight or in the early hours. For Delhi you usually reach early on Day 5 morning. Both depend on traffic, weather, and road conditions, so please keep a good time gap before any onward flight or train.
Can we add a night and avoid the overnight drive?
Yes. Tell us before booking and we can add a fourth night in Manali with a Day 5 morning departure instead. That night is priced separately and is not part of the package rate.
Is the overnight drive comfortable?
Your driver takes proper meal and rest stops through the night. If your group would rather break the journey, the added night option is the better choice, and we will say so honestly when you ask.
How does the Manali to Manali option work?
You are dropped at your agreed location in Manali on Day 4 evening and the trip ends there. The three hotel nights, all the sightseeing, and the Naggar and Kullu day stay the same. A transfer to Bhuntar is not included unless it is written in your confirmation.
Can we skip Naggar and Kullu and leave earlier?
Yes. Some guests prefer a slower last morning in Manali. Tell your driver and we simply start the drive to your drop point earlier. No refund applies for the skipped sightseeing.
Is river rafting included?
No. Rafting on the Beas near Babeli or Pirdi is optional and paid directly, and it runs only when the season allows and the administration permits it. The Kullu administration suspends rafting through the monsoon, usually from 15 July to 15 September, and it is generally not run in peak winter. Please ask for it in advance, since it takes up most of the Day 4 afternoon.
Is the Roerich Art Gallery always open?
No. It follows its own opening hours, weekly closure, and public holidays, and is normally shut on Mondays. If it is closed, the time is used at another Naggar spot. Entry tickets at Naggar Castle and the gallery are paid directly.
Is Rohtang Pass included in this package?
Yes. One seasonal Rohtang Pass excursion is included when the pass is officially open, the road is running, and the required permit is available. The vehicle and permit arrangement follows the rules that apply on your travel date.
Is visiting Rohtang Pass guaranteed?
No. Rohtang is controlled by weather, road conditions, daily vehicle quotas, permits, maintenance days, and instructions from the local administration. Having it in the package name does not mean access is possible on every date, so we prefer to be upfront about this.
What happens if Rohtang Pass is closed?
We may arrange Solang Valley, the Atal Tunnel, Sissu, and a reachable Lahaul snow point as the alternative day. If no alternative can be run, the unused and recoverable Rohtang amount is handled as per your booking confirmation.
Why might Day 2 and Day 3 be swapped?
The Rohtang trip runs on a permit with a daily quota, and the official portal also lists Tuesday as the regular maintenance day, though local rules can change. When that falls on your Rohtang day, we swap it with the Day 2 local sightseeing. Day 4 cannot be moved, since your return journey starts that day.
Will I get a refund if alternative sightseeing is provided?
No separate Rohtang refund applies when you accept the alternative and it is completed, because the original excursion has been replaced by another full day route. If neither Rohtang nor the alternative can be run, the unused and recoverable Rohtang amount is refunded. Your hotel, meals, and base transport are not part of that refund.
What if we simply decide not to go to Rohtang?
No refund applies if Rohtang is running and the arrangements are already made, but you choose not to go, report late, or cannot travel for personal reasons.
Are the government Rohtang permit charges included?
Standard permit and congestion charges are included when your final confirmation says so. Any new statutory increase brought in after your booking may be charged separately. A permit fee already issued and officially non refundable may be deducted from any refundable amount.
Will the same private cab go to Rohtang Pass?
It may or may not. This depends on the vehicle's eligibility and the rules that apply on your travel date. We may use your same cab or arrange a locally authorised vehicle. Whichever applies is written in your final booking confirmation.
Are Rohtang Pass and the Atal Tunnel covered together?
No. They are treated as different routes. Day 4 runs down the valley towards your drop point, so it cannot be swapped for a Lahaul trip the way a mid trip day could. If you want the Atal Tunnel and Sissu as well as Rohtang, ask before booking and we will quote an extra day.
Is Koksar included with the Sissu trip?
Not automatically. Koksar is covered only when the road, weather, vehicle suitability, and available time allow it. It is not guaranteed with every Sissu excursion.
Is Sethan or Hamta Valley included?
Only as a fallback. Sethan or Hamta Valley may be considered when both the Rohtang and the Atal Tunnel with Lahaul routes are unavailable. They are not included as an extra guaranteed destination.
Is the cab completely private?
Yes. Your confirmed cab is private for your booking and is never shared with unrelated travellers. It covers your confirmed itinerary and reasonable sightseeing duty, including the Day 4 route up to your final drop, and is not at your disposal beyond that.
Which vehicle will we get?
The vehicle depends on your number of adults and children, luggage, pick up option, route, and the comfort level you select. A sedan usually suits two or three travellers with reasonable luggage, while families and bigger groups may need an MUV, SUV, or Tempo Traveller. The final category is confirmed in writing before booking.
Is an Innova Crysta guaranteed?
Only when Innova Crysta is specifically written in your booking confirmation. An SUV, MUV, or similar category does not automatically mean Innova Crysta. Vehicle colour, registration number, and exact model cannot be promised unless agreed in writing.
How much luggage can we carry?
Seating capacity is not the same as comfortable touring capacity. Extra luggage cuts into passenger comfort and may need a bigger vehicle at extra cost, so please tell us your luggage in advance.
Can we choose Delhi, Chandigarh, or Manali pick up?
Yes, all three options are available and each has its own price. From Delhi it is about 500 to 550 km and 12 to 15 hours, and from Chandigarh about 300 to 320 km and 8 to 10 hours. The Manali stay and sightseeing plan stay the same across all three.
What kind of hotel is included?
A selected 4 star hotel in Manali, quality checked by our team, with a deluxe or equivalent room, attached bathroom, hot water, and in house dining. The exact hotel name, location, and room category are shared before your booking is confirmed.
Is a mountain view or balcony room guaranteed?
Only when it is specifically written in your hotel confirmation. The 4 star category alone does not guarantee a mountain view, valley view, balcony, bathtub, room heater, lift, air conditioning, or a Mall Road location. In the hills, room size and facilities can differ between properties in the same category.
How do triple sharing and family rooms work?
Triple sharing rooms may come with an extra mattress or rollaway bed rather than three proper beds. Family rooms and interconnected rooms depend on availability at the hotel.
Are breakfast and dinner included?
Yes. 3 breakfasts and 3 dinners are included at the hotel, so 6 meals in total. Day 4 dinner is not included because you are on the road that evening, and your driver stops at a reasonable place to eat. Meals may be a buffet or a fixed menu depending on hotel occupancy.
What if we arrive late on the first day?
If you reach Manali after the hotel kitchen closes on Day 1, we request a simple or packed dinner wherever the hotel can provide it, though a full buffet dinner cannot be promised after regular hours.
Is early check in included?
No. Standard check in is usually 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM and check out is 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Early check in and late check out depend on room availability and may cost extra. On Day 4 the standard check out time applies, and your bags then travel in the cab.
Is room heating included?
No. Room heaters are not included unless your hotel confirmation says so. Many Manali hotels charge separately for a heater.
Is snowfall guaranteed?
No. Snowfall and ground snow depend fully on the weather and time of year. Visiting Rohtang, Solang Valley, Sissu, or another snow point does not mean there will be fresh snow or a set amount of it.
Are adventure activities included?
No. Paragliding, skiing, snow scooters, tube rides, ziplining, rafting, pony rides, and similar activities are optional and paid directly. Snow clothes, jackets, gloves, and boots are also not included, though they can usually be rented locally.
Can we visit Jogini Waterfall?
Yes, on request. It needs extra walking and enough time, so some regular local sightseeing points may be skipped if you choose it. Any transport or route difference is shared with you beforehand.
Do we have to buy anything at the shawl or handicraft stops?
No. Those stops are completely optional and there is no obligation to purchase anything.
How is the price calculated for children?
The price shown is per person and is the same for adults and children. If you are travelling with a young child who may not need an extra bed, share their age when you ask for a quote and we will confirm the final amount before payment.
Is this package suitable for children and senior citizens?
Yes, though please keep the long road journeys, the overnight return drive, and the high altitude Rohtang day in mind. Senior travellers and anyone with health concerns should consult a doctor before travelling, and the added night option may suit them better.
Do we need identity documents?
Yes. Every adult should carry an original government issued photo ID, and children should carry something showing their date of birth. These may be needed at the hotel, for permits, or for local checks.
Can the package price change?
Yes. The shown price may be a starting price based on selected dates, minimum occupancy, and one pick up option. The final cost depends on your travel dates, season, weekends, holidays, hotel availability, number of travellers, room needs, vehicle, and pick up point. Peak season, snowfall season, festive, and last minute bookings may cost more.
When is the booking confirmed?
Only after the required payment is received and we issue a written confirmation. That confirmation should clearly mention your hotel, room category, meal plan, vehicle category, pick up option, Rohtang arrangement, and cancellation terms.
