Overnight journey by luxury Volvo coach. The tour starts from the tourist coach boarding point at Manju Ka Tilla or RK Ashram in Delhi. A comfortable Volvo bus leaves for Manali from these points at 5.30 p.m. Our representative will be there at the boarding point to get you started for the Himalayan odyssey. After the overnight journey you will wake up to the charm of Beas valley to reach Manali.

Being one of the most popular tourist destinations of India, there is a lot to see and indulge in, in and around Manali. Towering snow clad peaks, a clean river flowing by, dark forests around orchard and farmlands give the tourist place a unique charm. On arrival our representative will help you check into your hotel. Having freshened up after dusting off the overnight journey fatigue, a hearty breakfast awaits you. The Manali tour starts with a visit to Hadima Devi temple that is sheltered by a cedar (deodar trees) shaded glade. The ageless Devi is the presiding goddess of Manali and the valley. As the day progress, a visit to the Tibetan monastery, Club House and Vashist temple is planned. The evening can be spent exploring the local market for handicrafts and exotic eateries.

Nestled in the Pir Panjal mountains, Manali is a sprawling resort township on the banks of River Beas. Day 3 of the tour takes you higher into the mountains, first into Solang valley (8500 feet altitude) where skiing is conducted in the winters and summer activities like ballooning and tandem paragliding flight thrills are conducted. From here the tour proceeds to Gulaba, the snow point on the way to Rohtang Pass. With the Pass closed from November to February, Gulaba is the highest point that vehicles are permitted to access during this period. Summer excursions do go all the way to Rohtang Top. The Manali-Rohtang highway heads on to Keylong in Lahaul and further up to Leh in Ladhak. As you head higher into the mountains, the valley opens up more and more and the panorama of white ranges gets wider and wider. The sheer delight of being to such heights is the highlight of the day. As evening descends over the mountains, we make our way back to the valley for a warm dinner, before crashing out for the night.

After an early breakfast, the tour sets out to explore Parvati valley with the jewel township of Manikaran. Parvati is a tributary river of Beas that originates at Pin-Parvati Pass. The drive from Manali to Kullu along Beas river diverges near Bhuntar to move into Parvati valley. From the confluence point, Manikaran is about 40 Kms upstream. Famous as a pilgrimage centre, Guru Nanak, founder of the Sikh faith, is said to have trekked to this place and bathed at it’s famous hot springs. A Gurudwara at Manikaran commemorates the Sikh gurus visit. However, it is the older legend about Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, having lost her ear rings in the valley that gives the place it’s name. An angry Shiva had to open his third eye to scare Sheshnag, the serpent king, who had taken possession of the lost jewels. The heat of Shiva’s energy made the water boil and forced Sheshnag to return Parvati’s jewelry. Believer’s hold that the hot springs are where the lost jewels were recovered from. The Ramchandra Temple at Manikaran was built in the 17th century by Raja Jagat Singh of Kullu house. After a visit to the pilgrim town, the journey returns to Manali for dinner and night stay.

The tour from Kullu-Manali on Day 5 moves to Shimla, the queen of hill stations, by a deluxe tourist coach. A welcome drink, with our representative in attendance will have you check into your hotel.
