Delhi → Manali (Overnight Volvo)
Board your AC Volvo from Delhi in the evening and settle in for a comfortable overnight journey into the mountains (about 12–14 hours). Recline, relax and let the driver do the hard part while you sleep your way to the hills.
Arrive Manali — Local Sightseeing
Reach Manali by morning and check in to your hotel. After freshening up, explore the local gems — the ancient Hadimba Devi Temple among cedar trees, Manu Temple, the Tibetan Monastery, and the buzzing cafés and markets of Old Manali & Mall Road. Overnight in Manali.
Solang Valley & Atal Tunnel
A full day of mountain fun at Solang Valley — paragliding, zorbing, the ropeway or a snow-play session (seasonal). Then drive through the Atal Tunnel towards Sissu for jaw-dropping snow-clad views. Overnight in Manali. (Rohtang Pass available as a paid add-on, permit & weather permitting.)
Manali → Delhi (Overnight Volvo)
Enjoy a relaxed morning and last-minute shopping for shawls, woollens and local apples. In the evening, board your return AC Volvo to Delhi, arriving next morning with a heart full of mountain memories. Short, refreshing and easy on the wallet.
Naggar Castle & Kullu Valley
Drive along the Beas river to the historic Naggar Castle and the Roerich Art Gallery, with optional river rafting in Kullu and a stop at the pashmina & shawl workshops. Soak in the valley views before returning to Manali. Overnight in Manali.
Manali → Delhi (Overnight Volvo)
After breakfast and a little shopping, board your return AC Volvo to Delhi in the evening, arriving next morning. A perfectly-paced Manali holiday, wrapped up.
Manali → Shimla
Check out and drive down to the "Queen of Hills", Shimla (about 8 hours), following the Beas river past Kullu, Mandi and Sundernagar lake. Arrive by evening for a first stroll on the famous Mall Road. Overnight in Shimla.
Kufri Excursion & Shimla Sightseeing
Head to Kufri for the Himalayan Nature Park, adventure activities and pony rides with sweeping valley views. Back in Shimla, explore The Ridge, Christ Church, Jakhoo Temple and the colonial Mall Road. Overnight in Shimla.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for Shimla & Manali?
For snow, plan December to February. For pleasant sightseeing and adventure activities, March to June is ideal. Monsoon (July–September) is lush and quieter, with occasional roadblocks. We run the trip year-round and adjust the plan to the season.
Is the overnight Volvo comfortable?
Yes — it's a semi-sleeper AC Volvo with reclining seats and rest stops. Most travellers sleep through and wake up in the hills, saving a day and a hotel night. Prefer flying to Chandigarh + cab? We can arrange that too.
Is Rohtang Pass included?
Rohtang needs a separate government permit and vehicle, so it's a paid add-on (subject to permits, season and weather — shut on Tuesdays and during snowfall). Our standard plan covers Solang Valley and the Atal Tunnel/Sissu snow point, which are stunning in their own right.
Can I customise the trip?
100%. Add Dharamshala or Kasol, extend your Manali stay, upgrade hotels, or swap the Volvo for a private cab or flights. Tell us your plan and we'll re-quote for free.
How do I pay, and is EMI available?
Book with 50% advance and pay the balance on arrival — via UPI, card, net-banking or bank transfer. No-cost and low-cost EMI options are available on most cards.
