About this drive

Gaggal to Manali is a full day across the middle of Himachal. You go through the tea country at Palampur, down to Mandi on the Beas and up the river gorge into Kullu. It is long but beautiful, and many people prefer it to the overnight bus from Delhi.

We send our most experienced hill drivers on this route, and an SUV is the comfortable choice for families.

The road

NH154 via Palampur, Baijnath and Jogindernagar to Mandi, then NH3 along the Beas past Pandoh dam, through the Aut tunnel and up via Kullu to Manali.

Worth a stop on the way

  • Baijnath temple: Thirteenth-century Shiva temple on the highway.
  • Mandi: The temple town on the Beas; good lunch stop.
  • Pandoh dam: Brief stop above the reservoir.

Season and road conditions

Open all year. Monsoon (July–August) can bring landslides between Mandi and Kullu, so we watch the road status daily.

Local tip: Most Gaggal flights land late morning. For a daylight drive, consider a night in Dharamshala or Palampur and leave early the next day.

What the fare includes

  • Fuel and driver
  • Tolls and parking
  • Driver allowance
