Travel tips
- Take the overnight Volvo/HRTC bus from Delhi — comfortable and much cheaper than flying.
- Stay in Old Manali or Vashisht for the best hostels and cafés.
- Share cabs for Solang/Atal Tunnel — join a group to split the ₹2,500–3,500 day rate.
- Carry warm layers year-round; snow points need extra rented gear (₹200–400).
