Kangra to Manali Taxi
A Kangra to Manali taxi with Nandini Travels is ₹6,500 all-in for a sedan and ₹9,000 for a 7-seat Innova Crysta — one honest price covering the car, driver, fuel and tolls for the whole run. It is roughly a ~235 km, ~7–8 hour mountain drive through Mandi and the Kullu valley, and we pick you up anywhere in Kangra or Dharamshala at the same fare.
- From ₹6,500 all-in
- ~235 km

- Sedan or Innova
All-in — car, driver, fuel & tolls. No per-km meter, no hidden night charge. Pickup from Kangra or Dharamshala, same fare.
The road climbs out of the Kangra valley to Jogindernagar and Mandi, then follows the Beas up through Kullu to Manali. It is a full day’s driving, so most guests leave Kangra early and reach Manali by afternoon with time on Mall Road the same evening. Your driver stays with you the whole way — there is no handover to another car at the Kullu border.
A one-way drop is the fare above. If you want Manali sightseeing — Solang, Atal Tunnel, Sissu, Hadimba, Manikaran — the car and driver stay with you and we quote a round-trip tour instead. Our four-day Manali Classic tour package and the Kullu Manali honeymoon both start from Kangra and are priced all-in for the car.
Sedan means a Toyota Etios or Maruti Swift Dzire (4 seats); Innova means a Toyota Innova Crysta or Hycross (7 seats, room for luggage and elders). Tell us your group on WhatsApp and we suggest the right car — or browse all our Kangra taxi routes.
