Manali & Kasol: common questions
- No. It depends on permits and weather, and it is closed in winter. If it is shut on your day, we arrange another excursion.
- It is the nearest large airport with good connections. The drive to Manali is 7 to 8 hours. Bhuntar airport near Kullu is closer but has few flights.
- AC is often switched off on steep climbs to stop the engine overheating. It is not usually needed at Manali's altitude.
- Yes, with care. Rohtang is at 13,050 ft, so anyone with heart or breathing conditions should check with their doctor. We can replace it with a lower-altitude day.
- No. Every trip is planned for one family, couple or group of friends at a time: flights, hotels, drivers, guides and sightseeing, all chosen for you.
- Message us on WhatsApp — there is no form. Tell us roughly where, roughly when, and who is travelling. A trip designer replies personally, usually the same day, and follows up with a call to understand your priorities before sending a proposal.
- Where we show a figure it is indicative, per couple, and all-inclusive — flights, visa, hotels, sightseeing, transfers, breakfast and dinner. It is a planning number, not a quote: it is confirmed once hotels and transport are actually held, and it moves with the exchange rate on the day of booking. Trips without a figure are priced on enquiry.
- Yes. On our Europe trips both are included in the indicative price — return flights and visa application support and fees. Elsewhere we book flights through your preferred airline alliance and co-ordinate visa documentation separately.
