🚉 How to Reach Manali from Rajasthan by Train?

To embark on your scenic getaway to Manali from Rajasthan, begin your journey by taking a train to Delhi, the nearest major railway hub with frequent connections from cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ajmer, and Bikaner. Upon reaching Delhi, proceed to the pre-designated Volvo bus stand to board your overnight semi-sleeper AC Volvo bound for Manali.

Day 1: Arrival in Delhi – Overnight Volvo Bus Journey to Manali

Your journey to the enchanting hills begins with an overnight Volvo ride from Delhi to Manali.

Next, stroll through the serene Van Vihar Park, ideal for peaceful boat rides and nature walks. Don’t miss the vibrant Tibetan Monastery and end the day at the Club House, where you can enjoy games, riverside cafés, and cozy hangouts.

Day 3: Solang Valley Adventure – Optional Excursion to Rohtang or Atal Tunnel

In winters, the valley turns into a snowy paradise ideal for photography and fun in the snow.

🌐 Optional Excursion: Weather and permits permitting, you can extend your day trip to the iconic Rohtang Pass (open May–November), famous for its glacial views, snow walls, and adventure sports. Alternatively, travel through the Atal Tunnel—Asia’s longest highway tunnel—to reach Sissu Village in Lahaul, where gushing waterfalls, apple orchards, and charming riverside cafés await. (Permit and cab cost not included.)

Day 4: Scenic Drive to Kullu – Hanogi Mata Temple – Naggar Castle

Next, visit the hill-perched Hanogi Mata Temple, which offers panoramic views and spiritual solace. Conclude your day at Naggar Castle, a historic wooden mansion built in the 15th century and now a heritage hotel with a mesmerizing view of the Kullu Valley. Art enthusiasts may visit the Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery nearby (closed on Mondays). Return to your hotel and relax after a day of exploration.
