Solang Valley is most famous among the tourists because it is the only place where tourists find snow on the road itself. Solang Valley is also famous as Adventure Valley. Tourists get a chance to do all kinds of adventures on the roadside. Solang Valley is situated at the confluence of Dhauladhar mountain range and Pir Panjal mountain range. The altitude here is 2450 meters and there are so many places to visit here that even a week would be less.

Talking about other adventures, paragliding is done here in Solang Valley, Madhi, Kothi and Dobhi. Because the wind is very strong here, I don't like flying here at all. Hot air balloon is a great option to see yourself flying in the air. Snow scooters and skis that can only be enjoyed in winters.

You can make your day fun by including activities like river crossing, boulder climbing, zoobering etc. with your family. I go to Solang Valley twice every year but do not do adventure activities but due to my nature I like trekking very much so I go only for trekking. And on the day when I am very tired, I go to Vashisht hot water pool where I relax my body.

Nice place! How much time does it take from Delhi to here by car? More than 4?

First hou have to reach manali from delhi which is almora 600km, and from manali it's 14km so it will tak approximately 12-14 hours.

600km! is like whole another continent
!LOLZ

Haha....The distance is not that much but the road in mountains are not that good...hence it take too much time.

What is in the middle of nowhere?
The letter H
