GETTING THERE

The only way to explore the valley is by road, from New Delhi via Manali. On your return journey, take the Shimla route in case you want a change, and some new adventures. Don’t forget that this is not your routine road trip, and a 4x4 wheel drive along with a skilled driver are must.

IDEAL FOR

Adventure enthusiasts who love to rough it out.

WHEN PLAN IT WITH
