Manali To Vaishno Devi By Bus

[Eshaan]

I am in Manali at the moment for a business tour which would last for another 4 days. As I have come more towards the North I am thinking whether it is possible to go to Vaishno Devi from here or not.
My mode of transport would be by bus, so I need to know whether I can go from Manali to Vaishno Devi by bus?

How long would the bus journey take?

Some idea of the bus cost would be good to know, but it is not necessary?

Hi! You would have to take this route as there is no direct buses from Manali to Vaishno:

Manali to Dharamshala = Direct Bus
Dharamshala to Jammu = Direct Bus
Jammu to Vaishno Devi = Direct Bus

The distance between Manali to Vaishno is about 224 kms. So if the bus is travelling at 50 km/hr, you can get to Vaishno in about 4.5 hours.

Bus ticket might cost Rs 180 or more.

I hope this helps!
