Best time for a Chandigarh to Manali trip
- October to November: the easiest driving months, dry and clear. November to 19 December is off-season priced.
- December to February: the road is open, but snow can slow the last 40 km and the Solang road; start early and arrive before dark.
- March to June: busy, with the worst jams between Kullu and Manali in late May and June.
- July to mid-September: monsoon; the Mandi–Pandoh–Aut stretch along the Beas is landslide-prone.
