Snow dress in Manali at a glance
You can rent a snow dress in Manali at roadside shops on the way to the snow — around Palchan (the Solang/Rohtang turn-off), Kothi, Gulaba and Solang. A set is usually a waterproof suit, gum boots and gloves, rented for the day and returned on the way back. Woollens and thermals are not rented, so bring your own warm layers underneath.

Your snow kit check
Before you pay: boots the same size, gloves waterproof, zips working — and your own thermals underneath, because suits are shells, not insulation.
The gear stop sits on the road to whichever snow point is open: Solang, Kothi–Gulaba, or through the Atal Tunnel to Sissu.

- KidsBoots that fit (not two sizes up), mittens and a cap; short sessions with warm-up breaks.
- GlareSunglasses on bright days at Sissu (~3,120 m) and Rohtang — the snow glare is strong.

- On the roadDon’t stop for touts on the highway; after fresh snow police may stop non-4×4 vehicles at Solang Nala.

Add snow gear to a Manali package
Snow gear is an add-on to a Manali snow day, not a trip on its own. Pair it with a Manali honeymoon package or the Himachal tour package for 5 nights / 6 days, book a Manali taxi for the snow point, and plan the day with Solang Valley activities or skiing in Himachal. Coming as a big group? See Manali group trips. Or ask for a custom plan.
Snow dress on rent in Manali — questions
Where can I rent a snow dress in Manali?
At roadside shops on the way to the snow — around Palchan, Kothi, Gulaba and Solang. We stop at one on your route.
What comes in a snow dress set?
Usually a waterproof suit, gum boots and gloves. Check that both boots are the same size and the gloves are waterproof before paying.
Do I need a snow dress for Solang or Sissu?
Only if you plan to play in the snow. Good waterproof boots and gloves are the minimum; the suit keeps jeans dry.
Can I rent woollen clothes or jackets in Manali?
No. Only snow suits and boots are rented; bring thermals, a fleece and a warm jacket, or buy them on Mall Road.
Are kids’ sizes available?
Some shops have few small sizes. Send ages and shoe sizes and we confirm the evening before.
How much does a snow dress cost in Manali?
It depends on the number of sets, the items and your dates, so we don’t publish a fixed rate. Send your date on WhatsApp and we reply with today’s rate within minutes — Get Quote.
Should I rent or buy snow gear?
Rent for one or two snow days. Buy only boots or gloves if you will use them again.
