Travel Itinerary
Manali to Kothi
- Tour starts at early morning from Manali to Kothi Village.
- As you leave the hustle of Manali behind, the road to Rohtang begins at the charming hamlet of Kothi. Located 12 km from Manali, this picturesque village offers a breathtaking view of the Beas River flowing through a deep, narrow gorge. Surrounded by towering cliffs and snow-capped peaks, Kothi is the perfect pit-stop to soak in the raw beauty of the mountains before ascending to the heights of Rohtang Pass.
Kothi to Rahala Waterfall
- As you leave the village of Kothi, the road begins its dramatic ascent toward the Rahala Waterfall.
- Rahala Waterfall, located at an altitude of 8,500 feet. Formed by the melting of Himalayan glaciers, these falls cascade down jagged rocks in a silver mist. Surrounded by dense forests of Deodar and Silver Birch, it’s a refreshing stop where the air turns crisp and the roar of the water sets the tone for your mountain adventure.
Rahala Waterfall to Marhi
- The journey from Rahala Waterfalls to Marhi is a feast for the eyes.
- As you approach Marhi, located at 11,000 feet, the dense forests vanish, making way for sprawling alpine meadows and grazing herds of yaks. Marhi is the ultimate mountain pit-stop—a high-altitude plateau offering breathtaking views of the valley below and the towering snow-clad peaks above.
Marhi to Rohtang Pass
- The 16 km drive from Marhi to Rohtang Pass is nothing short of legendary.
- Standing at a majestic 13,050 feet (3,978 meters), Rohtang Pass is more than just a destination; it’s a high-altitude thrill. Located 51 km from Manali, it serves as the spectacular gateway to Lahaul, Spiti and Ladakh. Rohtang is where travelers go to find the "Eternal Snow" of the Pir Panjal range.
Rohtang Pass to Kokksar
- After conquering the Rohtang summit, the journey takes a dramatic turn as you descend into the serene Lahaul Valley.
- 20 km stretch leads you to Kokksar, the first village of Lahaul and its coldest inhabitant. Watch as the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range give way to the vast, rain-shadow landscapes of the trans-Himalayas. It’s a transition not just of geography, but of culture—moving from the vibrant spirit of Kullu to the peaceful, Buddhist-influenced tranquility of the north.
Kokksar to Atal tunnel
- Experience the transition of a lifetime as you drive from the windswept plains of Koksar toward the North Portal of the Atal Tunnel.
- At 9.02 km, this is the world’s longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet. Within minutes, you’ll journey through the heart of the Rohtang Pass, trading the barren, rocky grandeur of the Lahaul Valley for the misty, cedar-covered slopes of Manali. It’s a feat of human brilliance that turns a treacherous mountain crossing into a smooth, scenic dream.
Atal Tunnel to Solang Valley
- As you emerge from the South Portal of the Atal Tunnel, the landscape transforms into the vibrant, emerald slopes of Solang Valley.
- Known as the adventure capital of Himachal, Solang is a sprawling meadow flanked by snow-capped peaks. After the serenity of the high-altitude pass, this is where the energy peaks. Whether it’s the colorful parachutes in the sky or the bustling riverside vibes, Solang is the perfect grand finale to your mountain circuit.
Solang Valley to Atal Tunnel
- After that return back to Manali.
