Chandigarh to Manali 3-Day Short Trip

Start your journey early from Chandigarh, enjoying the scenic drive through the mountains and valleys of Himachal Pradesh. The trip takes around 10–11 hours, so hiring a taxi or tempo traveller is recommended for a comfortable and hassle-free journey, especially for families or groups. Upon arrival in Manali, check into your hotel and relax. In the evening, take a short stroll around Manali Market, explore local cafes, and enjoy the mountain ambiance.

After breakfast, start your day with a visit to Hadimba Temple, surrounded by cedar forests, followed by Manu Temple, a significant spiritual site. Next, visit Vashisht Hot Springs, where you can relax in natural warm waters. Later, explore Solang Valley, known for adventure activities such as paragliding, zorbing, and ropeway rides. Traveling by a rented taxi or tempo traveller ensures comfort and flexibility for visiting all these locations. Return to Manali in the evening for leisure and dinner.

Start early for an optional trip to Rohtang Pass (permit required), famous for its snow-capped peaks and glacier views. You can enjoy snow activities or photography here. If Rohtang Pass is inaccessible, visit Jogini Waterfalls or Naggar Castle for a taste of local culture and scenic beauty. After sightseeing, begin your return journey to Chandigarh. A taxi or tempo traveller makes the long drive comfortable, with convenient stops along the way. Arrive in Chandigarh by evening, concluding your 3-Day Manali Escape.
