Manali Tour Package: 5 nights 6 days in Himachal Pradesh
Overview
This Manali tour package lays out the logistics straight: Overnight journey from Delhi to Manali, 3 full days in and around Manali, and an overnight Volvo journey back. You board your coach from the Majnu Ka Tila pickup point in North Delhi and wake up in the Beas Valley to commence first-day sightseeing, which includes Hadimba Devi Temple in deodar forests, Manu Temple in Old Manali, and an evening on the Mall Road.
Day three belongs to Solang Valley, about 13 km from town, where snow peaks and glaciers frame the slopes, and local operators run paragliding, zorbing, ziplining, ATV rides, the ropeway and, in winter, skiing – all optional and at extra cost. Day four heads down the valley to the Jagatsukh Gayatri Temple, the shawl factories and markets of Kullu, and Naggar, the old capital of the Kullu rulers with its 15th-century castle. Naggar Castle is temporarily closed to visitors, so you may only be able to see it from outside, depending on local conditions.
The plan suits first-time visitors, friends, and couples who want Manali's main sights without driving themselves. You stay three nights in a 3-star hotel on double occupancy with breakfast every morning, and the last day is free for cafés and shopping before the evening Volvo back to Delhi, where you arrive early the next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to go on this Manali tour?
The period from March to June is good for enjoying sightseeing and active sports, while from December to February there is snow in Solang Valley and opportunities for skiing. The period from July to September is considered monsoon, and this is when landslides happen on mountain roads; thus, it would be great to have some flexibility in travel plans during that period.
How do I get to Manali from Delhi with this package?
Meeting at Majnu Ka Tila in Delhi happens for going on the overnight trip of about 536 km (around 13 hours) to reach Manali the next morning. The return trip is going to happen on the 5th day via a night bus, arriving in Delhi early in the morning of the 6th day.
Are the Solang Valley adventure activities included?
No. Paragliding, zorbing, ziplining, ATV rides, the ropeway, snow scooters and skiing are optional and paid for at Solang Valley. What runs depends on the season and the weather – skiing needs winter snow – so you can decide on the day what suits you.
