FAQs
Can we visit Rohtang Pass or the Atal Tunnel on this package?
Not included by default — a visit beyond the Gulaba barrier towards Rohtang Pass requires a separate NGT-mandated permit (currently around ₹550 per vehicle, covering the permit fee and congestion charge) booked online in advance, and is closed every Tuesday for maintenance. The Atal Tunnel itself doesn't need this permit, but if you want either added to your itinerary, let us know ahead of time so we can arrange it directly with our Manali office.
Are meals vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
In standard/budget category hotels like the ones on this package, meals are typically vegetarian buffet-style unless otherwise requested — let us know in advance if you have specific dietary needs.
Is the vehicle available for extra shopping trips or off-itinerary stops?
The vehicle runs strictly per the day's planned itinerary and isn't available on a disposal basis — any additional stops for shopping, markets, or restaurants outside the plan are chargeable separately.
What documents do we need?
A: Valid photo ID for all travelers (this package is priced for resident Indian citizens only), and a vaccination certificate or recent RT-PCR report as outlined above.
What's the cancellation policy?
The package is non-refundable and non-changeable once confirmed — please confirm your Terms & Conditions directly with our booking office before making final payment, and note that any leg of the trip missed or unused (due to delays, illness, or personal reasons) isn't eligible for a refund.
Are Kufri's pony/yak rides included?
No — these are available at Kufri at an extra cost, payable directly on-site.
