Itinerary

Start your journey early in the morning from Delhi to Manali, a scenic drive of approximately 12–14 hours covering around 530 km through the breathtaking landscapes of Himachal Pradesh. The route winds through picturesque towns like Sundernagar, Mandi, and Kullu, offering mesmerizing views of rivers, pine forests, and misty hills. Keep your camera ready for beautiful roadside frames — especially near the Beas River valley.

Roadside Food & Stopovers: Enjoy breakfast at Murthal (famous for parathas with white butter) or a mid-way Punjabi dhaba for lunch. These spots serve authentic North Indian meals and are ideal for a quick refreshment break.

Travel & Clothing Tips: Carry warm layers — even in summer, the mountain breeze gets chilly by evening. Wear comfortable shoes for short walks during breaks, and carry motion sickness medicine if prone to nausea on mountain roads.

Arrival in Manali: Arrive by late evening and check-in to your pre-booked hotel. Spend the rest of the evening at leisure. If energy permits, take a short walk near Mall Road to soak in the alpine vibes. You’ll find small cafés, woollen shops, and local snack vendors. For dinner, you can either dine in at the hotel or try out the famous local dishes like Siddu (stuffed steamed wheat bread) and Tudkiya Bhaat (a Pahari-style rice dish).

Photo Spots: During the drive, scenic photo opportunities include Kullu Valley river bends, forest-covered mountain ridges, and small Himachali villages with traditional wooden homes.

Local Culture Tip: Respect local traditions by dressing modestly and asking before photographing villagers or temples. The drive introduces you to rural Himachal culture — from prayer flags fluttering on bridges to fruit vendors selling fresh apples or pears.

Overnight: Stay in Manali, nestled in the heart of the mountains. Take a good rest as your exciting Himachal adventure begins!

Wake up to the crisp mountain air and enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel. Today is dedicated to exploring the cultural and historical richness of Manali through its iconic local attractions.

1. Hadimba Devi Temple: Start your day by visiting the Hadimba Devi Temple, also known as the Dhungri Temple, located amidst a cedar forest. Built in 1553, this pagoda-style temple is dedicated to Hidimba, the wife of Bhima from the Mahabharata. Its wooden architecture with intricately carved doors and a tranquil forest setting make it a spiritual and photogenic spot.

2. Manu Temple: Next, visit the Manu Temple, dedicated to the sage Manu, believed to be the creator of mankind. Located in Old Manali, it offers insight into Hindu mythology and is surrounded by the serene Beas River.

3. Vashisht Temple & Hot Springs: Drive to Vashisht Temple, famous for its natural hot springs. The temple is more than 4,000 years old and attracts both pilgrims and travelers. You can take a dip in the therapeutic waters or simply enjoy the calm hillside ambiance. Don't forget to explore the nearby Vashisht village, known for its cozy cafés and bohemian vibe.

4. Club House & Van Vihar: After lunch, visit Club House for indoor activities and riverfront cafés. Then walk through Van Vihar, a peaceful forest park ideal for photos and boat rides on a small pond. It’s a great escape from the crowded streets.

5. Tibetan Monastery & Local Art: Explore Gadhan Thekchhokling Gompa, a colorful Tibetan monastery in Manali, where you can spin prayer wheels and learn about Buddhist culture. The nearby Tibetan market is perfect for shopping woollens, handicrafts, and Tibetan jewelry.

Evening at Mall Road: Spend your evening at Mall Road, the heart of Manali. Indulge in shopping — look out for woolen clothes, pashmina shawls, and wooden handicrafts. Sample local snacks like momos, thukpa, and hot jalebi with rabri. Try cafés like Johnson’s Café or Café 1947 for a relaxed dinner by the river or fire-lit interiors.

Clothing Tip: Daytime is pleasant but evenings are chilly. Carry a light jacket and wear comfortable walking shoes for the uneven terrain in Old Manali and temple areas.

Photo Ideas: Best photo moments include forest paths around Hadimba Temple, hot springs in Vashisht, colorful prayer flags at the monastery, and sunset over the Mall Road ridge.

Get ready for a thrilling day after breakfast as you drive to Solang Valley, about 14 km from Manali. Known as the adventure capital of Himachal, this picturesque valley offers snow sports in winter and adrenaline-packed activities year-round.

Activities in Solang: Depending on the season, enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tube rides in winter, or paragliding, zorbing, ziplining, and ropeway rides in summer. The Solang Ropeway takes you to a breathtaking viewpoint where snow-capped peaks stretch as far as the eye can see.

Rohtang Pass (Optional): If open (May to November), and with a permit, you can visit Rohtang Pass — a 13,050 ft high mountain pass with views of glaciers and snowy landscapes. A great spot for family photos and snowball fights!

Clothing & Safety: Wear warm, waterproof clothing and good grip shoes. You can rent snow gear at the base camp. Apply sunscreen and carry sunglasses due to glare from the snow.

Food Tip: At Solang, try hot Maggi, tea, or momos from local stalls. A warm meal in a wooden café with mountain views is a unique Himachali experience.

Photography: Solang is a dreamland for landscape photography. Capture paragliders in the sky, yak rides, and the crisp white slopes against blue skies.

Return: After a full day of adventure, return to your hotel by evening. Relax with a hot shower and spend the night stargazing or sipping tea from your balcony.

Arrival in Shimla: Arrive by evening and check-in to your hotel. Depending on time and energy, take a short walk to nearby Scandal Point or grab dinner at a cozy Shimla café.
