Manali
Snow passes, pine towns and the easiest yes in the Himalayas
Why Manali
Manali is the Himalayas at their most welcoming — an overnight bus from Delhi and you wake up to deodar forests with the Beas running beside the road. Our Manali trips come in three moods: the classic snow-and-cafés weekend, a Kasol–Tosh add-on for slow travellers, and the Atal Tunnel run into Lahaul for anyone who wants real high-altitude scenery without taking a week off work. Every batch is a small group with a trip captain, Volvo transfers from Delhi, and stays within walking distance of Old Manali.
