About Manali

Manali, 265 km from Shimla, is Himachal's most popular hill station and the gateway to Lahaul-Spiti, Rohtang Pass and Leh. The drive from Shimla follows NH-5 to Mandi, then NH-3 (the Kullu-Manali highway) along the Beas river through Pandoh, Aut and Kullu. The route passes through the 3 km Aut tunnel and offers stunning views of the Pandoh dam and the Kullu valley. Total driving time is 6–7 hours with breaks.

The road is mostly four-lane up to Mandi and two-lane mountain road thereafter. In winter, Rohtang Pass closes (Nov–May) but Manali town stays accessible via the Atal Tunnel. Solang Valley, Hadimba Temple, Old Manali and Mall Road are the main attractions.

Must-Know Tips for Your Shimla to Manali Trip

  • Break for lunch at Mandi (160 km) — the town has the most reliable dhabas and clean restrooms.
  • The Aut tunnel can have traffic jams on weekends; factor in 15–30 minutes extra.
  • If heading to Solang Valley or Rohtang, request an SUV/Innova — the last stretch is rough.
  • In winter, check whether the Atal Tunnel route is open before booking.
