Manali Honeymoon Package, 4 Nights 5 Days with Naggar and Sissu

What is in this Manali honeymoon package?

This is a 4 nights and 5 days Manali honeymoon package for the two of you. You spend three nights in Manali and the last night in Naggar. The pace is slow on purpose. You never have two early starts in a row, and most days end before dark.

A honeymoon is not a race to tick places. So we left out the long Kullu shawl factory stops and the crowded rides that fill most package lists. In their place you get quiet hours at Hadimba Devi, a long cafe afternoon in Old Manali, a snow day at Sissu, a forest walk to Jogini falls and an evening in an old castle town.

Travelling with parents or children? Our family Manali tour package has a different plan with Rohtang, Manikaran and Kullu. For more of Himachal as a couple, see the Himachal Pradesh honeymoon package or the Himachal tour package for couple.

How do you reach Manali for your honeymoon?

The tour starts in Manali. Choose the way in that suits your dates and your budget.

• Overnight Volvo from Delhi. By road, Delhi to Manali is about 530 to 570 km. The bus leaves Delhi after dark and reaches Manali the next morning, a ride of about 12 to 14 hours. Book two seats side by side, early, in peak season.
• Flight to Bhuntar. The nearest airport is at Bhuntar, about 50 km from Manali. Planes land there between steep hills, and bad weather often delays or cancels them. Keep your return flight a day before any onward booking.
• By car. Driving up from Delhi or Chandigarh lets you stop where you like, though the hill part alone takes most of a day. Start early, and do not drive on hill roads after dark.

If you are an NRI or OCI couple landing from abroad, rest one night in Delhi first. Do not land and catch the same evening's Volvo. After a long flight and a wedding, your bodies need that sleep. For a couple plan that begins and finishes in Delhi, look at our Manali tour package for couples from Delhi.

When is the best time for a honeymoon in Manali?

Pick your month by what the two of you want most. Read more on each season in our Manali travel guide.

• Late November to early February: snow. This is when Manali town usually turns white, and Solang gets deeper snow still. Most couples dream of this season. Nights go well below freezing, and roads beyond Manali can close after fresh snow, so keep one day free.
• March to June: green and easy. Days are pleasant and roads are open. From mid-April to mid-July the town fills with holiday crowds, so book well ahead and expect slow traffic towards Solang.
• Mid-September to November: clear and calm. The sky stays blue and the town is quiet, apart from the Kullu Dussehra week in October. This is our favourite time for a quiet honeymoon.
• July to mid-September: avoid. In late August 2025 the Beas rose in flood and cut the highway between Kullu and Manali in many places. The road took 21 days to reopen. Paragliding and rafting are also banned every year from 15 July to 15 September.

Is paragliding at Solang safe for couples?

It can be, if you follow the rules. Himachal has its own Aero Sports Rules of 2022. Under them, every operator must be registered with the state Tourism Department, and every pilot must hold a licence. In September 2025 the state put out a draft change that adds a safety course for tandem pilots, as The Tribune reported on 23 September 2025.

Here is what the rules say, in simple words. You fly only from a site the state has notified. You get a helmet and full safety gear. The operator must carry insurance that covers the passenger. Flights must end one hour before sunset or by 6 pm, whichever is earlier, and no one flies in bad weather.

• Who cannot fly. The rules bar children below 12 years or under 30 kg. They also bar people with heart trouble, epilepsy, lung trouble or asthma, and anyone who is pregnant.
• No drink before the flight. You cannot fly if you have had alcohol in the 8 hours before. Keep the celebration for the evening.
• Ask to see the papers. Registered operators show their HP Tourism registration, and pilots carry a licence. A ThePrint report of March 2025 found that tourists rarely ask. Please ask.

In July 2025, a tourist died on an illegal flight from a site that was not notified, near Dharamshala. So we take you only to a registered operator at the official booking counter, not to a stranger who calls you over on the road. Agree the rate first, since it goes up and down by season.

Do you need a permit for Rohtang Pass on a honeymoon?

Only if you go to Rohtang. We picked the Atal Tunnel and Sissu for the snow day instead. Rohtang stays shut through the winter, roughly late November to May, and even when it is open, only a few permits are given each day. If your dates fall in the open season and you want Rohtang, we can swap Day 3 for it.

For Rohtang, your car needs a permit booked online on rohtangpermits.hp.gov.in, the portal of the Kullu district. Booking opens just two days ahead, and the driver must carry a printed copy. Confirm the current fee and the closed day on the official site. The full permit steps are on our Manali tour package page.

Is Manali safe for newly married couples?

Yes, Manali is used to couples, and most of your days are in busy, well-known places. A little care keeps the trip easy.

• Carry photo ID for both of you. Hotels usually ask for it at check-in. Keep a copy on your phone too.
• Save 112 in your phone. It is the single emergency number for police, fire and ambulance. Himachal was the first state to launch it, in November 2018.
• Keep jewellery simple. Wikivoyage advises women not to wear heavy jewellery on the street and to avoid small lanes after dark. Leave the wedding gold at home or in the hotel locker.
• Use only union taxis. A private-number car cannot carry paying tourists in Manali. This package uses a union vehicle with a named driver.
• Keep your phones with each other at Vashisht. Pickpockets work near the baths. One of you should hold the phones while the other bathes.

Is the altitude a problem on a honeymoon?

Manali town is at about 2,050 m, and Sissu is at about 3,120 m. Doctors say mountain sickness usually starts only above about 2,500 m. Most people feel fine in Manali, and we keep your first day free to rest anyway. On Day 3, walk slowly at Sissu, drink water and skip alcohol the night before. If one of you gets a bad headache or starts vomiting, come down at once.

Where do couples stay, and what about photos?

We do not push one hotel. We choose a quiet room for your dates and send you the hotel name, photos and the room type before you pay. In Manali, couples like the slopes away from the Mall, where nights are calm. In Naggar, the old castle is now a heritage hotel run by HPTDC, the state tourism body, and we book a room there when it is free.

For couple photos, these places work well: the deodar trunks around Hadimba Devi in the soft light before 9 am, the wooden houses of Old Manali, the Atal Tunnel portal with snow behind you, the Sissu waterfall across the Chandra, and the castle balcony at Naggar. If you carry a drone, check the official Digital Sky airspace map first. Under the Drone Rules of 2021, red and yellow zones need permission.

What should you eat and buy in Manali as a couple?

Order siddu at least once. It is a soft local bun, made from wheat dough left to rise, filled with dal, poppy seed or walnut, steamed, and served hot with ghee. Try trout too, as the Kullu valley farms it. Lonely Planet and Wikivoyage both list Cafe 1947 by the river in Old Manali, Drifters' Inn for breakfast and coffee, and Il Forno near Hadimba Devi in an old stone and timber house. Cafes here open and close by season, so check before you walk up.

For a gift to each other, buy a Kullu shawl. It is a registered GI, so look for the GI mark. The safest places are Bhuttico, a weavers' cooperative that began in 1944, and the government emporium. Cheap powerloom copies are sold as Kullu shawls. Say no to saffron or shilajit sold on the street.

Can you add Kasol, Manikaran or Sethan?

Kasol and Manikaran (one extra night). Kasol sits on the Parvati river at about 1,580 m, about 75 to 80 km from Manali, or about 2.5 to 3 hours by road. Manikaran is about 3.5 to 4 km further up, with its hot springs, the gurudwara with langar and the Shiv Parvati temple. Go only if you have one more night, because the round trip is long for one day.

Sethan for snow (one extra day, winter only). Sethan is a small village about 11 to 15 km uphill from Manali, near the Hampta Pass route. In deep winter, local young people build igloo stays there. News reports from 2023 to 2026 put the season from late December or January to February, and into March in a cold year. Confirm the season, road and safety with the operator before you go, as snow decides everything.

How is this honeymoon package different from others?

We read the top honeymoon pages for Manali. Most list the same places and a price. They do not tell you who may fly a paraglider, when adventure sports are banned, what to do when snow shuts the road, or how to stay safe as a couple. This page answers all of it.

We also give you what a couple really wants: time. There is a full cafe afternoon, a forest walk, and an evening and night in Naggar, which most packages skip or rush. Want a bigger loop? See our Shimla Manali tour packages or the Kullu Manali tour.
