What the drive is like
Kasol is not on the main Manali road. The route goes down to Bhuntar near Kullu, then turns east at Bhuntar into the Parvati Valley and follows the river through Jari to Kasol and Manikaran. The Parvati Valley road is narrow and has some tight turns.
Weekend and holiday traffic can add an hour. Leave before 9 am if you want to avoid the queue near Jari and reach Manali with time to spare.
