Manali to Chandigarh by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Manali to Chandigarh tempo traveller descent covers one of North India's most beautiful mountain-to-plains transitions. Leave Manali's cedar-scented air and travel south through the Kullu Valley, where the Beas River ribbons through green gorges flanked by apple orchards and Himalayan villages. Pass through Mandi — the gateway to central Himachal — with its ancient stone temples. The Sundernagar Lake and Pandoh Dam provide scenic midway stops. At Bilaspur, the massive Gobind Sagar reservoir on the Sutlej comes into view. The terrain flattens as you descend through Kiratpur Sahib (a Sikh holy town) and enter Chandigarh. The City Beautiful offers Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake at sunset, and Sector 17 plaza for shopping. Groups use Chandigarh as a transit hub for flights or onward drives to Delhi. The tempo traveller's AC keeps the group comfortable as temperatures rise in the plains.

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.
