Where and when to do each activity
Paragliding in Solang Valley
Tandem flights take off from the slopes above Solang Valley, about 14 km from Manali, with a trained pilot who controls the glider while you sit in front. Choose a short joy ride or a longer flight that starts higher up after a ropeway ride. Flights run in clear weather and stop in strong wind, rain or heavy snow.
River rafting in Kullu
Rafting runs on the Beas between Babeli, Pirdi and Jhiri, below Kullu town, about 40–55 km from Manali. The 3 km stretch suits families and first-timers; the 9 km and 14 km runs have longer rapids. Rafting is closed during the monsoon, when the river is high.
Skiing and snow activities
Solang Valley has beginner slopes for skiing once there is enough snow, usually from late December to March. Snow scooter rides and snow zorbing run in the same season. An instructor and equipment are included in the skiing rate.
Rope and adventure park activities
Rock climbing, rappelling, river crossing, Burma bridge, zip line and valley crossing are run by adventure parks around Manali and Solang with harnesses and trained instructors. They are good for groups, school trips and families.
