Pickup in Amritsar
Amritsar is our home base and the spiritual capital of the Sikh faith. Lakhs of visitors arrive every month for Sri Harmandir Sahib, so our drivers know the old-city lanes, the heritage street parking and the early-morning darshan timings well.

Arriving in Manali
Manali, at the head of the Kullu valley, is the base for Solang Valley, the Atal Tunnel and Rohtang Pass. It is a long hill drive, so we send experienced mountain drivers. Our drivers regularly drop passengers at Mall Road Manali, Hadimba Temple, Solang Valley and Atal Tunnel.
Driving up to Manali
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 430 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 12 hrs 45 min in normal traffic. We suggest a morning departure: hill roads are easier in daylight and you reach in time to check in and walk around. Carry a warm layer even in summer. With more than four people or heavy luggage, an SUV like the Maruti Ertiga or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on the climbs.
Which car should you choose?
For up to 4 passengers, the Maruti Dzire at ₹5,500 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹7,200), while the Innova Crysta (₹9,200) gives the smoothest ride over 430 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹11,400.
