Travel tips from our team
- Rohtang Pass needs a vehicle permit and may be closed for weather; sightseeing follows what is open that day.
- Book early for May–June and Christmas–New Year.
- Carry warm clothes for Manali and Shimla evenings, even in summer.
- Mountain roads are slow — allow for long drives between Shimla, Manali and Dharamshala.
