Manali to Koksar Distance by Road:
Agar aap Manali trip plan kar rahe hain aur bheed-bhaad se door kisi shant aur barf se dhaki jagah jaana chahte hain, toh Koksar aapke liye perfect destination hai.
Manali se kuch hi doori par sthit Koksar, Lahaul Valley ka dil maana jaata hai. Pehle yahan pahunchna mushkil tha kyunki Rohtang Pass cross karna padta tha, lekin ab Atal Tunnel ne is safar ko bahut aasaan aur suhavana bana diya hai.
Is blog post mein hum baat karenge Manali to Koksar distance by road, wahan kaise pahunche, taxi fares, aur wahan ghumne ki sabse badhiya jagahon ke baare mein.
Manali to Koksar Distance & Route Options
Manali se Koksar pahunchne ke liye main do raaste hain. Dono ka experience alag hai, toh chaliye details dekhte hain:
1. Via Atal Tunnel (Recommended Route)
Yeh sabse popular aur fastest route hai.
Distance: Approx 41 km.
Travel Time: 1.5 se 2 ghante.
Route: Manali -> Solang Valley -> Atal Tunnel South Portal -> North Portal -> Koksar.
Kyun Chunein: Yeh raasta pure saal khula rehta hai (barring heavy snowfall days) aur sadak makhan jaisi smooth hai. Atal Tunnel se nikalte hi aapko Lahaul ki dry mountains aur Chandra River ka nazara milta hai jo Rohtang side se bilkul alag hai.
2. Via Rohtang Pass (Old Route)
Agar aap adventure pasand karte hain aur Rohtang Pass khula hai (usually May/June to Oct/Nov), toh aap yeh raasta le sakte hain.
Distance: Approx 65-70 km.
Travel Time: 3 se 4 ghante (Traffic jam common hai).
Note: Is route ke liye Rohtang Permit lena zaroori hai aur Tuesdays ko yeh maintenance ke liye band rehta hai.
Pro Tip: Agar aap winter (Nov-March) mein aa rahe hain, toh Rohtang Pass band ho sakta hai. Isliye, Atal Tunnel route hi best option hai.
How to Reach Koksar from Manali: Bus, Taxi, or Bike?
Manali se Koksar jaane ke liye aapke paas teen main options hain:
1. Taxi (Most Comfortable)
Agar aap family ke saath hain, toh taxi sabse convenient hai.
Estimated Fare (2025): Small car (Alto/Dzire) ke liye ₹2500 – ₹3000 round trip. SUV (Innova) ke liye ₹4000 – ₹5000 tak lag sakta hai.
Aap taxi stand se “Solang Valley + Atal Tunnel + Sissu/Koksar” ka package le sakte hain.
2. Self-Drive or Bike Rental
Bike riders ke liye yeh route jannat hai! Manali se bullet rent par lekar Atal Tunnel cross karna ek alag hi thrill deta hai.
Ensure karein ki aap expert driver hain kyunki sadak par “Black Ice” (invisible ice) ho sakti hai, khaaskar subah aur shaam ke waqt.
3. HRTC Bus
Budget travelers ke liye HRTC buses available hain jo Manali se Keylong jaati hain. Yeh buses Atal Tunnel hokar guzarti hain aur aapko Koksar bridge par utar sakti hain. Ticket cost bohot kam (approx ₹100-₹150) hota hai.
Best Time to Visit Koksar
Koksar ki khubsurti har mausam mein alag hoti hai:
Winter (Late Nov – March): Agar aapko heavy snow dekhni hai, toh yeh best time hai. Koksar poori tarah barf ki safed chadar mein lipta hota hai. (Note: Kabhi-kabhi zyada barfbaari se raasta band ho sakta hai).
Summer (April – June): Yeh time tourists ke liye sabse popular hai. Mausam suhavana hota hai aur aapko “Snow Walls” dekhne ko mil sakti hain.
Autumn (Sept – Oct): Agar aapko golden colors aur saaf neela aasmaan pasand hai, toh October mein plan karein.

Gramphu: Koksar se thoda aage Gramphu hai, jahan se Spiti Valley ka raasta kat-ta hai.
Real Example: Why Tourists Love Koksar
Last year December,mere ek client, Rahul (from Delhi), ne share kiya:
“Hum Solang Valley gaye the par wahan pair rakhne ki jagah nahi thi. Driver ne suggest kiya ki Atal Tunnel cross karke Koksar chalein. Wahan pahunchte hi laga kisi aur duniya mein aa gaye—shanti, saaf barf aur koi bheed nahi. It was the highlight of our trip!”
Conclusion
