About this trip
Manali is usually the first mountain trip for most groups, and it earns that spot. You get snow-capped views without a brutal journey, cafes that stay open late for a group that wants to talk till 2 AM, and enough around Solang and Old Manali to fill four or five days without repeating a day twice.
It works for almost every kind of group we plan for: a college gang chasing snow for the first time, a family that wants an easy mountain break, or a couple that wants a cosy stay with a view. We build the plan around who's coming, not the other way round.
How to reach: Overnight Volvo or private cab from Delhi and Chandigarh is the most common route groups take. Flights land at Kullu-Bhuntar, about an hour from Manali. We can arrange pickup either way.
Trip highlights
- Old Manali cafes, bridges and riverside walks
- Solang Valley for snow activities or paragliding, season permitting
- Hidimba Temple and Manu Temple, both an easy walk from the main town
- Day trips to Sissu and Atal Tunnel for the more adventurous itineraries
- Short drive to Kasol and the Parvati Valley if you want to extend the trip
