In short
Overview
Leisure Himachal's Manali and Dharamshala tour is a 5-night trip from Delhi by overnight AC Volvo: three nights in Manali with Rohtang, rafting on the Beas and Manikaran, then across the Kangra valley via Baijnath and the Palampur tea gardens to two nights in Dharamshala and McLeodganj. Hotels are on breakfast and dinner. The price is quoted on request.
Two very different Himachals in one week. Manali’s high valley and the snow on the Rohtang road; then a long, beautiful day across to the Kangra valley — temple, tea gardens and the Dhauladhar — and McLeodganj’s Tibetan streets to finish.
