Winter Road Trip to Lahaul Valley - 4 Days

Winter, which embraces Lahaul, usually in the first week of November, and stays on until the fourth week of March, is a cold, harsh and tough time in the valley, especially the high altitude ones. While it may not be the easiest time to travel through Lahaul, it certainly is the most rewarding time to come visit.

Everything – every house, hamlet, road and village – dons a cloak of white. The cottony snow is constant - stretching on for as far as the eye can see. The horizon is a myth, for you can never tell where the land ends and the skies begin.

As winter sets in, Lahaul assumes a timeless nature – like an enchanting postcard waiting for you to dive right in. With temperatures going below -20 degrees centigrade, the Chenab river has more or less frozen up. A few defiant streams tirelessly cut through the ice, giving a surreal glazed feel to the basin.

Earlier during these months, the famous Manali – Rohtang Pass – Lahaul road stayed closed due to heavy snowfall. Leaving Lahaul accessible only for 6 months of the year. Now with the newly inaugurated Atal Tunnel, an entirely new valley is waiting to be explored. 

This curated Winter Expedition is designed for travellers for an authentic snow experience with comfortable and challenging conditions during the winter months. Shared by a small group of travellers, this Winter Expedition includes travelling in comfortable and safe Force Traveler to some of the most popular villages of Himachal through the World's longest Tunnel – Atal Rohtang. Marvel at the wondrous transition from Manali to the new winter wonderland, Lahaul.

We head to the most scenic part of this holiday – Lahaul Valley. To get here, we drive through the 9 km long Atal Tunnel – which is recognized as the world’s longest highway tunnel. The tunnel is built with ultra-modern specifications in the Pir Panjal range of Himalayas at an altitude of 3,000 metres (10,000 feet). At the end of the tunnel, get a chance to witness awe-inspiring and endless Greater Himalayan views of pristine high altitude snow-capped mountains and a turquoise blue river, quietly flowing into the horizon.

On the second day of this Lahaul Valley road trip, wake up to explore the winter wonderland of Lahaul. Having been cut off from the rest of the world in the winters, 2020 was the first year that outsiders were able to get a chance to discover the hidden winter wonders in Lahaul Valley. Temperatures here may dip up to -30 degrees centigrade in the winters, but a Tandoor (traditional heater) in the kitchen, delicious local food and the hospitality of your host family will fill you with warmth. The itinerary for today will be determined by the prevailing weather conditions. If we have a sunny day, get ready for a guided hike around the village, or drive to nearby accessible places for some stunning photos of the Greater Himalayan range. We spend our second night at the same local homestay.
