This Manali Tour Package from Varanasi is a 4 nights / 5 days plan by our Gorakhpur team. Varanasi families know river towns well, which may be why the Beas valley feels so familiar — only colder, greener and a lot quieter. The trip begins with an overnight train to Delhi and a night Volvo, and the rest is four days of hills without any more long journeys.

Travellers from Mirzapur, Chandauli and Ghazipur regularly join the Varanasi group.

What Banaras travellers enjoy most

Temples still feature in most Varanasi itineraries — Hadimba Devi, the Manu temple and the shrines at Manikaran are always on the list — but the real surprise for many is the snow at Solang. We also get student groups from BHU in winter; for them a Volvo-and-budget-hotel version keeps the cost low.

By train Delhi is about 900 km and roughly 8–15 hours from Varanasi; Chandigarh is around 1,100 km. Flights from Babatpur airport take about 1.5 hours to Chandigarh.

An evening train from Varanasi Junction or Banaras station reaches Delhi the next morning.
