We, at Mountain Voyages, are always innovating to make your travel experience richer and memorable. With this philosophy in mind, we have developed a special winter programme called the MANALI SNOW IGLOO ITINERARY for you and your family and friends. This itinerary combines an ancient and traditional lifestyle with a marvel of modern engineering—The Atal Rohtang Tunnel
Snow Igloos have been an integral part of Inuit tradition, who live in these unique structures during the harsh Arctic winters. Drawing inspiration from the Inuits, we build comfortable snow Igloos in the Hampta Valley that will transport you to a lifestyle enjoyed by the hardy natives of the Arctic Circle. Not only that, our 6-day programme also includes a trip to the majestic Lahaul Vally through the Atal Rohtang Tunnel. With a total length of 8.8-km, it's the longest tunnel in the world built above 3,000 metres above sea-level.
This itinerary is a must for those who want to enjoy a unique travel experience in the Himalayas in the winters.
