Plan notes
Useful context before you go
This is a compact Manali excursion with an evening on Mall Road. Hidimba Devi Temple and Van Vihar were mentioned as planned stops for the following day; they are optional additions if you extend your stay, not stops reported as visited. For Rohtang Pass, check current permit requirements and snow conditions before setting out, and confirm which stops and charges your transport package includes. The excursion described cost around ₹7,000 separately and included Rohtang Pass, Atal Tunnel and part of Sissu; this is a past trip cost, not a current quote. Carry warm clothing for the high-altitude stretch, and verify current prices, permits and road conditions before travel.
Itinerary highlights
What is in this plan
Day 1: Anjani Mahadev, Rohtang Pass, Atal Tunnel & Manali
The Anjani Mahadev route can be done on foot or by ATV; the ATV ride was described as very bumpy. The excursion continued to Rohtang Pass and the Atal Tunnel before an evening on Mall Road. The separate payment described was around ₹7,000 for Rohtang Pass, Atal Tunnel and part of Sissu; confirm inclusions and extra charges with your own operator.

Anjani Mahadev TempleAnjani Mahadev Temple, Himachal Pradesh, India
Reach the natural shivling either on foot or by ATV; the ATV route is very bumpy. Water falls continuously over the shivling, and the setting was described as peaceful. A Hanuman temple is higher up; its exact position is best treated as part of this shrine visit rather than a separate map stop.
-
Rohtang PassRohtang Pass, Himachal Pradesh, India
A permit is required for Rohtang Pass whether you travel in a personal car or with a package. Check current snow conditions if snow is the main reason for going, and bring warm clothing for the high-altitude cold. In late June, the visit found mostly small, dirty snow patches.
-
Atal TunnelAtal Tunnel, Himachal Pradesh, India
The tunnel is 9.02 km long; the crossing takes around 15 minutes and connects Manali with Lahaul-Spiti at about 10,000 feet above sea level. It was not included in the package described, so confirm whether your transport includes it or charges extra. On exiting, allow time for the valley views, though the area can be crowded. The partial Sissu stop mentioned on the excursion is not mapped as a separate visit.

Manali Mall RoadMall Road, Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India
Visit in the evening to browse souvenir shops and find food. Taxis were readily available around 8:30 the previous evening, but the driver dropped the group short of the exact destination, so confirm your drop-off point. Foods mentioned from the Manali visit include siddu, Maggi, softy and chicken momo. The siddu tried on Mall Road cost ₹150, had a dry-fruit filling and came with peanut and green chutney; the creator enjoyed it, though her parents were less keen.
