Snow Valley Resort is a wooden property located in Manali, in the Kullu Valley (Himachal Pradesh), approximately 2 km from the bus station. The establishment stands out for its forest setting, 52 rooms spread across six categories, and sweeping views over the Himalayan peaks.

Why stay at Snow Valley Resort

• A wooden lodge surrounded by pine forests and apple orchards, away from the bustle of central Manali.
• Direct views of the Himalayan mountains from most common areas and guest rooms.
• A range of room categories suitable for couples, families, or group travel.
• An ideal base for exploring the Kullu Valley, Solang Nala, and Rohtang Pass.

Ambiance and architecture

The main building takes the form of a large wooden lodge, set in a wooded environment. The interiors embrace Himachali warmth: wooden floors, traditional furnishings, vibrant textiles. The atmosphere remains family-friendly and tranquil, with pine trees and apple orchards characteristic of the region as a backdrop. As evening falls, the mountain chill sets in quickly, and the common areas invite you to linger over tea by the fire.

Guest rooms

The resort features 52 rooms across six categories, making it one of Manali's most comprehensive properties in terms of range:

• Standard: entry-level category, functional and comfortable.
• Luxury: more generous space and refined finishes.
• Presidential: designed for high-end stays.
• Maharaja: decor inspired by traditional Indian furnishings.
• Family Duplex: two-level rooms for family travellers.
• SVR Special Duplex: the most spacious category on offer.

All rooms combine wooden floors, traditional furnishings, and modern amenities.

Dining and services

The resort has two restaurants, The Orchard and The Terrace, both overlooking the valley. The menus highlight North Indian cuisine, with international options for foreign guests.

For activities, the team arranges several outings characteristic of the region: whitewater rafting on the Beas River, winter skiing at nearby cable-car accessible resorts, trekking, and jeep excursions to surrounding valleys.

Location

Manali is in northern India, approximately 2 km from the bus station where Snow Valley Resort is situated. From Delhi, allow for an overnight bus journey or a flight to Bhuntar, followed by a one to two-hour road transfer. Manali town centre, its markets, and the Hadimba Temple remain easily accessible, while still maintaining the tranquility of a forest setting.

When to visit

The region offers multiple seasons for exploration. April to June brings mild temperatures and flowering orchards; this is peak season for Indian travellers. July to September sees monsoon rains making roads unpredictable, but the landscape becomes lush and green. October to November offers clear skies and unobstructed mountain views. December to March brings snow, opening the ski season around Solang.
