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. Common drop locations include 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 320 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 9 hrs 30 min 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 ₹4,300 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹5,600), while the Innova Crysta (₹7,300) gives the smoothest ride over 320 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹9,000.
