No, and anyone planning Delhi to Amarnath by road must know this before Day 2 of their journey.

The Banihal Tunnel itself rarely fails. The real danger is the Ramban–Banihal corridor surrounding it — the most landslide-prone stretch of the entire 270-km Jammu–Srinagar highway. Heavy monsoon rains (July–August) regularly trigger rockfalls and flash floods on this section, causing multi-day closures. As recently as April 2026, both tunnel tubes were blocked for three consecutive days, leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded.

Permanent bypass tunnels and viaducts under construction won't be ready before 2027.

What to do: Check J&K Traffic Police updates the night before. Build a buffer day at Jammu. Never attempt this stretch after dark.

Travelling Delhi to Amarnath by road in a dedicated Tempo Traveller with an experienced convoy-route driver gives your group the flexibility to wait, reroute, and arrive safely.

Great news for mountain lovers  the iconic 473-km Leh–Manali Highway (NH-3) has officially reopened as of May 13, 2026, after a five-month winter closure. The 2026 travel season brings revamped infrastructure, improved road safety, and enhanced roadside amenities including rest stops, food joints, and fuel stations.

Planning your trip from Delhi? Booking a Delhi to Manali Tempo Traveller is the smartest way to hit the road comfortable, cost-effective, and perfect for groups heading toward Leh–Ladakh. The highway crosses four high-altitude passes Baralacha La (16,047 ft), Nakee La (15,547 ft), Lachulung La (16,616 ft), and Tanglang La (17,582 ft) making a well-equipped vehicle essential.

Whether you're planning a solo road trip, a group tour, or a family vacation, there are now more options than ever to customize your Ladakh experience. Book your early summer slots fill fast! 

If you are planning a Sawan pilgrimage covering temples like Kedarnath, Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Kashi Vishwanath with family or a group, a private tempo traveller is by far the most comfortable and practical option. Public transport during Sawan gets extremely crowded and unpredictable  trains are full months in advance and shared cabs are uncomfortable for elderly family members.

With a tempo traveller from Delhi Tempo Travels, your group of 9 to 17 people travels together in one AC vehicle with ample luggage space for luggage, puja items, and offerings. The driver handles all navigation including the steep Kedarnath approach roads, so your family can focus entirely on the spiritual experience. Flexible stops for Ganga snan, temple darshan, and meals are all part of the journey.

Book your Sawan pilgrimage tempo traveller at delhitempotravels.com — early booking recommended as July slots fill fast.

The best time to visit Manali depends on your travel purpose and experience preferences. For pleasant weather, clear mountain views, and outdoor adventure activities like paragliding, river rafting, trekking, and sightseeing, March to June is ideal. During this period, Manali offers comfortable temperatures and vibrant natural beauty, making it perfect for families and honeymoon couples.

If you want to enjoy snowfall and winter sports, October to February is the most suitable season. December and January are especially popular as the region turns into a snow-covered paradise, attracting visitors for skiing, snowboarding, and cozy mountain stays.

The monsoon season from July to September brings lush greenery and fewer crowds, but travel can be risky due to heavy rainfall and occasional landslides.

Overall, the best time to visit Manali is March to June for adventure and December to January for snowfall experiences.

Vasudhara Waterfall, located near Mana Village (India’s last village), is believed to be a sacred waterfall where the water only touches those with a pure heart.

Falling from a height of around 400 feet, this waterfall is not just visually stunning but is also known for its mineral-rich water, which many locals associate with natural healing properties.

To reach Vasudhara, travellers need to complete a scenic 5–6 km trek starting from Mana Village, near Badrinath. The route offers breathtaking Himalayan views, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and spiritual seekers.

If you're planning a group trip from Delhi to Uttarakhand, choosing a tempo traveller is one of the most comfortable and practical options for long-distance mountain journeys, especially for families and groups.

So tell me… if you visit Vasudhara, will the water fall on you?

People say heaven exists somewhere beyond reach  but anyone who has stood at the Tungnath temple at 3,680 metres in Uttarakhand will tell you differently. Heaven is a myth; Tungnath is real, and it is absolutely worth every step of the 3.5 km trek from Chopta.

Travelling from Delhi with a group of 10? Skip the train-cab juggle. We booked a tempo traveller and drove overnight directly to Chopta  comfortable, affordable, and stress-free. The whole group arrived together, rested, and trekked without any logistics trouble.

If you are planning a Tungnath trip from Delhi, booking tempo traveller is the smartest group transport choice. Highly recommended.

October to March is the window most seasoned pilgrims swear by and after doing this yatra with a group , I understand why.

The heat across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat between May and August is not just uncomfortable, it actively drains you before you reach the temple. For a yatra that covers 12 Jyotirlingas across multiple states, energy management is as important as route planning.

We started from Delhi in November. The first decision we made before hotels, before permits, before anything was booking tempo traveller on rent for the entire circuit. Fourteen people, weeks on the road, crossing state borders. Splitting into cars would have broken the group before Omkareshwar.

Traveling together kept the yatra intact. Conversations happened. Prayers happened collectively. Nobody missed a stop because their driver took a wrong turn.

October to February gives you manageable weather, cooperative roads, and smaller crowds at most shrines Somnath and Trimbakeshwar especially.

Plan the vehicle first. Everything else follows.
