This is something every group should read before planning a Delhi to Manali Tempo Traveller trip that includes Rohtang Pass.
Our mistake? Nobody checked the permit situation properly.

What went wrong step by step:

We booked a standard tempo traveller Delhi Manali package operator never mentioned Rohtang restrictions

Diesel vehicles face strict restrictions on Rohtang: our Tempo Traveller was diesel

Got stopped at the check post, no entry permitted

Wasted 3 hours arranging local shared cabs at inflated prices

What you must confirm before booking:

Ask specifically — is this vehicle Rohtang-permitted?

Check NGT guidelines for the current season rules change yearly

Rohtang permits must be booked online 1-2 days in advance

Consider reaching Manali first, then hiring local vehicles for Rohtang separately

The Delhi to Manali Tempo Traveller package handles the highway beautifully but Rohtang is a completely different game. Plan it separately and save yourself the headache.
