Rishikesh to Manali Destination Reviews

TJ
It was a surprise to myself and other manali travellers that the bus we took, was actually 2 buses. The first took us to Chandigarh, the second from Chandigarh to Manali. The first bus was at least 45 minutes late. Both buses were fairly comfortable, however the second became very cold with the AC on!
