Pickup in Delhi
Delhi is India's capital and the busiest destination for our one-way cabs from Punjab. We drop anywhere in the city, from Connaught Place and Karol Bagh to embassies, hospitals and railway stations. Pickup is from your doorstep anywhere in Delhi and nearby villages, including India Gate, Connaught Place, Gurdwara Bangla Sahib and New Delhi Railway Station.
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. Popular drop points are 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 540 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 16 hrs in normal traffic. Start early in the morning to reach before dark and to avoid weekend traffic near the hill entry points. 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 ₹6,600 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹8,700), while the Innova Crysta (₹11,100) gives the smoothest ride over 540 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹13,800.
