Solang Valley

About

Solang Valley is a breathtaking alpine meadow 14 km north of Manali, nestled between snow-capped peaks at 2,480 metres. During winter (December to March), it transforms into North India's premier skiing destination with a chairlift and multiple ski runs. Come summer, the snowfields yield to green meadows perfect for paragliding, camping, and trekking toward the Beas Kund glacier. The valley offers unobstructed views of the Beas Kund and Hanuman Tibba peaks, making it equally rewarding for photographers.
