Leave Delhi tonight so you reach Manali early on 19th; state-run and private Volvo services normally depart late evening (10:30pm–12:30am) and take ~10–12 hours, or opt for a private overnight taxi for more comfort.
Arrive, check into your hotel/hostel and unpack; give yourself 1–2 hours to freshen up and acclimatize before exploring. Most guesthouses allow luggage drop earlier than official check-in.
A relaxed riverside brunch at Café 1947 or The Lazy Dog to refuel after overnight travel; cafes open from ~8:00am–10:00pm and serve both Indian and continental options.
Short 20–40 minute drive to Solang; mornings are best for clearer skies and smaller crowds. Road access is open year-round, but check weather in winter.
Tandem paragliding provides spectacular aerial views of Solang and the Beas valley; operators run flights 8:00am–5:00pm depending on wind—book early and expect weather checks.
Enjoy a hot thali or momos at a local dhaba in Solang, or return to Manali for a relaxed lunch at The Lazy Dog; dhabas open around midday (12:00–3:00pm).
Enjoy class II–III rapids on a scenic stretch of the Beas with licensed operators; trips run seasonally 9:00am–4:00pm and include safety equipment and briefing.
The trail climbs through pine forests and villages; expect 3.5–5 hours one-way depending on pace and breaks—trail is open year-round but start early for best daylight.
Relax in the famous hot spring with panoramic views of the valley; springs are accessible anytime but avoid right after heavy rain for safety and water clarity.
Start descent early to avoid afternoon fatigue and reach Kasol with time for a relaxed brunch; descent is usually quicker but watch for slippery patches.
Start the long drive back to Delhi (~10–12 hours depending on route and traffic). Consider a comfortable private taxi or check evening Volvo options from Bhuntar/Manali.
Reach Delhi late evening/night — if you prefer not to drive, book a Volvo or an additional rest stop en route. If you have onward connections, allow extra buffer and re-confirm timings.
