No Hidden ChargesAbout This Tour
This Manali tour package with Shinku La Pass from Chandigarh combines three nights in Manali with a full-day mountain excursion into Lahaul. Travel through Atal Tunnel, follow the valley route towards Jispa and Darcha, and continue to Shinku La where the road is officially open for your vehicle. A separate sightseeing day covers Manali’s temples, forest walks and markets. The package includes Chandigarh pickup and drop, private AC travel, hotel breakfast and dinner, and Tour Manager assistance.
From Manali’s Cedar Forests to the Lahaul Mountains
Your holiday begins with the drive from Chandigarh through Kullu Valley. All three overnight stays are in Manali, so you return to the same hotel after both sightseeing days.
The Shinku La excursion follows the Atal Tunnel route into Lahaul and continues through the valley towards Jispa and Darcha. Beyond Darcha, the road climbs towards the pass on the route connecting Lahaul with Zanskar. Brief photo stops depend on the day’s road access and return schedule.
Shinku La, also written as Shinkula or Shingo La, is the main mountain excursion in this itinerary. For a holiday focused on Rohtang instead, compare our Manali tour package with Rohtang Pass from Chandigarh.
A Private Holiday with Your Preferred Hotel Category
Choose the available hotel category that suits your stay preference. Breakfast and dinner are included at the hotel, and your Tour Manager can coordinate vegetarian, non-vegetarian or Jain meal requests with the property.
The Manali sightseeing day includes Hadimba Devi Temple, Vashisht, the Tibetan monastery, Club House, Van Vihar and Mall Road. Browse our Manali tour packages if you would like to compare other routes or durations.
Plan the Pass Visit Around Your Travel Dates
Shinku La is a high-altitude excursion with a long driving day. The visit must follow current road clearance, vehicle permissions and local travel timings. Days 2 and 3 may be interchanged to suit access and traveller comfort.
If you would like more time in the region, explore our Himachal tour packages or discuss a revised itinerary with our team. Book online or contact us by call, WhatsApp or enquiry for help planning your dates.

Day-Wise Tour Plan & Sightseeing
Day 01 · Chandigarh to Manali – Pickup & Hotel Check-in
Approximate road distance: 260–300 km
Travel planning estimate: 8–10 hours, depending on pickup point, route, traffic and breaks
Meet your driver at Chandigarh Airport, Chandigarh Railway Station or your agreed Chandigarh pickup point. Begin the drive towards Manali, allowing time for meal and comfort breaks along the way.
As you enter Kullu Valley, enjoy views of the Beas River and the surrounding mountains. Short stops at a shawl factory or Kullu’s Vaishno Devi Temple can be fitted in where the arrival schedule allows. Stops around Sundernagar, Pandoh or Hanogi depend on the road taken and available time. River rafting is optional, payable separately and subject to local operation.
Reach Manali, check in to your hotel and relax after the journey. An early Chandigarh pickup gives more flexibility for the first day.
Meals: Dinner
Overnight stay: Manali
Day 02 · Manali to Shinku La Pass via Atal Tunnel, Jispa & Darcha – Return to Manali
Approximate road distance: 130–150 km one way; 260–300 km return
Full-day planning allowance: approximately 12–14 hours or longer, depending on road conditions, brief stops and traffic controls
Start early for the Shinku La excursion. Travel through Solang Valley and Atal Tunnel into Lahaul and continue along the valley road through the Sissu and Tandi–Keylong area towards Jispa and Darcha. Enjoy changing views of rivers, mountain villages and the open Lahaul landscape. Keep photo and comfort stops brief so the pass visit can fit within the permitted travel window.
From Darcha, take the road towards Shinku La, also known as Shinkula or Shingo La. Continue only as far as the authorities allow for the vehicle and the day’s conditions.
Where access to the pass is permitted, spend a short time enjoying the mountain views and taking photographs before beginning the return journey. Accessible snow depends on the season and weather; snow activities, equipment and clothing rentals are separate.
Return to Manali by the same route for dinner and your overnight stay. The excursion does not continue to Padum or other Zanskar destinations.
Your Tour Manager and driver will coordinate the return around official timings. Road closure, unsuitable conditions or insufficient time within the permitted window may require an alternative sightseeing plan, which our team will discuss with you.

Overnight stay: Manali
Day 03 · Day 3: Manali Local Sightseeing – Temples, Forest Walks & Mall Road
Approximate local circuit: 15–25 km, depending on hotel location and stops
Suggested sightseeing time: 4–6 hours
After breakfast, explore Manali’s local sights. Visit Hadimba Devi Temple, set among cedar trees, and continue to the Tibetan monastery for a quieter stop in town.
Visit Club House and Van Vihar, with time for the activities or walks you prefer. Continue to Vashisht Temple and its hot-spring area, then spend time around Mall Road for shopping, a café visit or an evening stroll.
Jogini Waterfall requires a walk from the Vashisht area and additional time. Tell our team before booking if you would like to include the walk so the day can be planned around it. Entry tickets, paid activities and shopping are separate.
Return to the hotel for dinner. The local sightseeing and Shinku La excursion days may be interchanged where needed.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Overnight stay: Manali
Day 04 · Manali to Chandigarh – Departure

Travel Information
Best Time to Visit
Plan a Shinku La holiday during the officially open road season, generally in the warmer months from late spring or early summer into autumn. Opening dates, road clearance and the permitted tourist endpoint vary each year. Confirm the specific pass route for your dates before booking.
Weather & Snowfall
Shinku La can be much colder than Manali, even when the weather in town feels comfortable. Carry warm layers for the excursion. Snow cover and accessible snow areas vary through the season, and snowfall or rain can change the road plan.
Road & Permit Information
The Shinku La excursion follows the Atal Tunnel–Lahaul–Darcha route and current local traffic orders. Vehicle entry registration or an e-pass may be required for entering Lahaul, depending on the applicable arrangements. Your Tour Manager will reconfirm the requirements and permitted vehicle access for your dates. Reaching Lahaul does not by itself confirm access to Shinku La.
Packing Guide
Carry warm clothing, a wind-resistant outer layer, comfortable shoes with a good grip, gloves, a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, personal medicines and a valid photo ID. Keep drinking water and snacks for the long excursion day. Pack essentials in a small day bag.
How to Reach
Arrange your flight, train or road journey to Chandigarh separately. Pickup can be coordinated at Chandigarh Airport, Chandigarh Railway Station or another agreed Chandigarh point. Choose an early arrival where possible and discuss your return connection with our driver before leaving.
Local Facilities
Facilities and mobile connectivity become limited on the upper route beyond Darcha. Carry some cash and keep your booking details available offline. Shinku La involves a substantial climb to high altitude, so discuss traveller comfort and any relevant health concerns before choosing this itinerary. Additional rest time or a longer route can be planned when needed.
