Solang Valley and the Atal Tunnel: The Snow Day on the Manali Trip

Solang Valley sits about 14 km northwest of Manali town, at an altitude of approximately 2,480 metres. It is a wide, open valley that holds snow for much of the year. The Manali Kasol Amritsar Backpacking Trip dedicates a full day to Solang Valley and the Atal Tunnel.

The morning is spent at Solang Valley. In winter and spring, the snow activities here include skiing, snow sliding, and snowball games. In the summer months, the valley offers paragliding, zorbing, and ATV rides (most of these are self-paid). The views from Solang extend back towards Manali and up to the Rohtang Pass ridgeline.
