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.
