About Himachal
The easiest mountains to reach from Delhi, and the ones most often ruined by trying to see three valleys in four days.
Manali and Shimla carry the traffic; the Tirthan, Sangla and Spiti valleys carry the point. The Atal Tunnel has made Lahaul a day trip, which is a mixed blessing. Anything above Rohtang needs a permit and settled weather.
Worth building a day around
- The Tirthan valley, which almost nobody drives to
- Apple season in the Sangla valley
- The Atal Tunnel into Lahaul in under ten minutes
When to go
Clear passes in summer, clear air and empty trails after the monsoon.

What our designers tell people
Pick one valley
Two valleys in a week is a holiday. Four is a car journey.
Check the pass, not the forecast
Rohtang and Kunzum open and close on their own schedule.
Entry and visas
Domestic. Inner-line permits apply beyond Rohtang.
Questions people ask
Is it good in monsoon?
July and August bring landslides on the Manali road. We steer people to Spiti instead.
Can we drive from Delhi?
Twelve hours to Manali. Most people fly to Kullu and drive ninety minutes.
