Day-by-Day Plan

1

Rishikesh

The bus dropped me in Haridwar, but I quickly caught a ride to Rishikesh instead. Wanted one last easy day before the mountains started. Walked around the Ganga aarti in the evening, which was loud but beautiful. Had a simple thali for dinner. Tip: Get a good night's sleep. The journey starts tomorrow.

Nobody can promise that, but January is your highest chance. The whole valley looks amazing under fresh snow. Just carry chains if you drive yourself because the roads get tricky.

Start early. Like, really early. Go to Solang for your Adventure activities in Manali before 9 AM. The tourists from day tours only start arriving after 10:30, so you get a head start.

It is a quick drive through but it’s a full day trip. The views on the other side in Lahaul Valley are stunning, totally different. Check the traffic rules and permits before you go.
