If you have an extra day, consider extending your stay to include a full‑day trek to Hampta Pass or a paragliding session over Solang Valley. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the Rohtang Pass and replace it with a leisurely morning at Vashisht Baths, which still offers breathtaking scenery and relaxation.
