About This Location

Solang Valley (Solang Nullah), 14 km from Manali, is a broad green valley in summer and a snow bowl in winter, surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks. The valley offers paragliding, zorbing, and cable car rides that can be incorporated into shoot concepts. Apple orchards, wildflower meadows in summer, and pristine snowfields in winter provide seasonal variety. The Beas Kund glacier trek above offers even more dramatic high-altitude landscapes.
