Manali from Chennai — common questions
Is one buffer day in Delhi really needed?
It is not compulsory, but a delayed flight means a missed Volvo and a lost night. If your flight lands after 4:00 PM we strongly suggest a Delhi hotel and the next evening's bus.
How cold will it be for someone coming from Chennai?
Manali in December to February sits between roughly −2°C and 10°C, and Solang or Sissu can be colder with wind. Coming from Chennai, treat the packing list as non-optional: thermals, a proper insulated jacket, gloves and waterproof shoes.
