Manali is one of the most popular hill stations in North India, known for snow-covered mountains, cool weather in summer, and adventure activities like paragliding and river rafting.
Manali is one of the most loved hill stations in North India and is often the first mountain destination for many travellers. Located in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the town is surrounded by snow-capped Himalayan peaks, pine forests, rivers, and cool weather throughout most of the year.
During summer (April to June), Manali becomes a perfect escape from the heat of the plains. The temperature usually stays pleasant, making it comfortable for sightseeing, Mall Road walks, and local shopping. In winter (December to February), the entire area turns into a snowy landscape. Many visitors come specially during this time to experience snowfall for the first time.
Manali is also very popular among honeymoon couples because of its peaceful atmosphere and scenic views. Families prefer it for a relaxed vacation, while young travellers enjoy adventure activities like paragliding in Solang Valley, river rafting in the Beas River, skiing in winter, and snow scooter rides near the Atal Tunnel and Rohtang area.
Apart from natural beauty, Manali also has famous attractions such as Hadimba Devi Temple, Vashisht hot water springs, Old Manali cafés, and the lively Mall Road market. Whether you want a quiet mountain holiday or an active adventure trip, Manali offers a balanced experience for almost every type of traveller.
The cost of a Manali trip depends on travel style, hotel category, travel season, and transport option. Below is a general budget estimate for travellers coming from Delhi and North India.

3. Transport option:

Manali is a year-round destination, but the experience changes with each season. The best time depends on whether you want snowfall, pleasant weather, or a budget trip.
This is the best time to see fresh snow in Manali. The temperature drops below 0°C and nearby areas like Solang Valley become covered in snow. It is perfect for honeymoon couples and travellers who want to experience snowfall, skiing, and snow activities. This is also peak season, so hotels and taxis are costlier.
Weather becomes comfortable and flowers start blooming in the valley. Snow is still available at higher points near Solang and Atal Tunnel. This is a good time for sightseeing and photography with less crowd compared to peak winter.
This is the most popular time for families. Schools are closed and people escape the heat of plains. Days are pleasant and nights are cool. Expect more tourists and higher hotel rates during this period.
This is the cheapest time to visit Manali. Hotel prices drop and the town becomes less crowded. The mountains look very green and fresh. However, occasional rain may affect sightseeing plans, so travellers should keep flexible schedules.
Clear skies, beautiful views of the mountains, and comfortable temperatures make this a very good travel period. It is also a popular honeymoon season before heavy winter begins.
Tip: If your priority is snowfall, plan between late December and early February. For a budget trip, February end, March, or September is usually best.
