How to plan your travel to Manali?
Manali is a starting point for many popular treks like Hampta Pass, Bhrigu Lake, Beas Kund and many more. If you are planning any of these treks you need to report to us around 9:30 AM in the morning near Nehru Park at Manali Mall Road. You can either take an overnight Journey and directly join us at the reporting point or you can come a day earlier and take a rest in Manali. We recommend you to come a day earlier and rest in Manali as it will help you to stay fresh and energetic during the trek.
Here is a detailed guide to help you plan your travel to Manali.
The First option is Fly to Delhi and take an overnight Volvo from Delhi to Manali. You can easily book a volvo from Red bus as per your budget and requirement. Sleeper as well as recliner buses are available almost every hour from Delhi. The prices may vary as per the operator and kind of bus you choose.
The second option is flying to Chandigarh and taking an overnight volvo. This option is much similar to Delhi; the only advantage is the reduced road journey as Chandigarh is much closer. You can check the cost and availability of the flight to Delhi or Chandigarh from your city and can take either of the above options as per your convenience
The third option is Flying to Bhuntar. This option reduces your travel time to Manali as Bhuntar is just a couple of hours away but it is an expensive option as Bhuntar is a small airport with limited connectivity
The fourth option is driving all the way to Manali. The Chandigarh Manali Highway is easy to drive on. During monsoons you may find some broken sections near Mandi but most of the journey is scenic and easy to drive. If you plan to bring your own vehicle you need to park your vehicle at some paid parking facility available at Manali.
These are the various ways you can plan to reach Manali.
For your return journey on Day 5, we will drop you back at Manali by 2:00 PM. If planning a return on the same day you can book any bus after 6 PM as we recommend some buffer hours. You can also stay back in Manali for a day and book your bus the next day.
The travel plan to Manali is easy and comfortable with a good number of buses available from both Chandigarh and Delhi. To know more you can visit our website www.thesearchingsouls.com
