Jaipur to Manali by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Jaipur to Manali tempo traveller adventure is a marathon road trip from Rajasthan's desert to Himachal's snow-capped peaks. Travel via Delhi and Chandigarh on NH48 and NH44, then enter the mountains on NH21 through the Kullu Valley. The 750 km journey is best split over two days with an overnight in Chandigarh or Mandi. Watch the terrain transform from arid scrubland to green plains to terraced hillsides and finally pine-covered mountains along the Beas River. Manali's Hadimba Temple (ancient wooden architecture in a cedar forest), Solang Valley (paragliding, zorbing, skiing in winter), Rohtang Pass snow point, and Old Manali's bohemian cafes are the group highlights. The stretch from Mandi through the Kullu Valley is among India's most scenic drives, with the Beas River rushing alongside through gorges. Groups should stock up on Rajasthani snacks for the journey and try Manali's trout fish and siddu at destination.

In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Jaipur to Manali costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 750 km and about 15-16 hours of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
The journey
Jaipur to Manali at a glance
