— Overview
The journey
The Delhi–Manali run is roughly 540 km and traverses Chandigarh, Bilaspur, Mandi and the Beas valley before climbing into Manali. We schedule the drive as an overnight journey so groups arrive fresh by morning. Our Urbania drivers are vetted for Himalayan experience — Atal Tunnel, Solang Valley and Rohtang Pass are all part of the regular run.
