Book Your Lucknow to Manali Tempo Traveller on Rent

Manali is over 1,100 km from Lucknow, one of the longest drives we run. Done in a tempo traveller, it becomes a two-day journey with an overnight halt on the way, and then a full holiday with your own vehicle for Solang Valley, the Atal Tunnel and the villages around the Beas.

Five nights and six days is the sensible format: one and a half days of driving each way and three full days in Manali. Groups that try to compress it into three nights spend most of the trip in the vehicle.

Our 13, 17 and 26-seater tempo travellers, Force Urbania, Tata Winger and mini bus are air-conditioned and serviced before departure, and our drivers have experience on the Chandigarh-Kullu highway and the climb to Solang. We are also clear about where a large vehicle cannot go, so your plans match the ground reality.

Why Book a Tempo Traveller for the Manali Journey?

This is a 1,100 km plus trip with a mountain pass at the end. Vehicle condition and driver experience matter more than the price difference between operators.

payments

One Cost, Whole Group

Flights to Bhuntar plus local taxis add up quickly for a group. A shared tempo traveller keeps the total predictable and usually lower.

Drivers Who Know the Valley

The Chandigarh-Kullu highway, the Aut tunnel, the climb to Solang and the narrow Old Manali lanes are all familiar ground for our drivers.

Freedom on the Ground

Change plans if the weather turns, add Naggar or Manikaran, or simply wait out a rain shower. The vehicle is yours for the day.

What Our Travellers Say

A few words from families and groups who travelled with Parijat Tour and Travels.

★★★★★

Six days, fourteen people, one 17-seater. The driver was steady on the mountain roads and knew a great halt near Mandi. Solang and Atal Tunnel were the highlights.

We were worried about such a long drive with kids, but the overnight halt made it manageable. The vehicle was clean, and the driver was patient with all our stops.

Lucknow to Manali Tempo Traveller FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about this route.

How far is Manali from Lucknow and how long does it take?
add
Manali is about 1,150 km from Lucknow via Delhi, Chandigarh, Mandi and Kullu. The drive takes around 22 to 24 hours, so we plan an overnight halt on the way rather than running it in one go.
What is the tempo traveller fare from Lucknow to Manali?
add
Tempo travellers are charged per kilometre, not per seat. Rates start at ₹24 per km for a 13-seater, ₹28 per km for a 17-seater, ₹34 per km for a 26-seater, ₹45 per km for a Force Urbania and ₹50 per km for a mini bus, with a minimum billing of 250 km per day. Toll, parking, state tax and any driver night charge are billed separately. Share your travel dates and group size on call or WhatsApp for a written quote.
How many days should a Manali trip take?
add
Five nights and six days is a realistic minimum from Lucknow: roughly one and a half days of driving each way and three full days in the valley. Anything shorter means spending most of the holiday in the vehicle.
Can the tempo traveller go through the Atal Tunnel?
add
Yes. The Atal Tunnel is open to all vehicles and takes you to Sissu in Lahaul. Beyond Sissu, some stretches and Rohtang Pass have restrictions, so confirm the current rules with our driver before planning a longer Lahaul circuit.
Can a tempo traveller reach Mall Road or Old Manali?
add
Access is restricted on parts of Mall Road and the Old Manali lanes. Your driver will drop you at the nearest permitted point, and the hotel or a local taxi covers the last stretch.
Are tolls, parking and driver night charges included?
add
The per-km fare includes fuel, air conditioning and driver allowance. Tolls, parking, state taxes and driver night charges for every night of the trip are billed separately and shown in the written quote.
