Solang Valley


It is a side valley at the top of the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh. 14 km northwest from the town Manali, And on the way to Rohtang Pass. It is known for its summer and winter sport conditions.


                                          

 The sport’s most commonly offered are paragliding, skating and Zorbing. Zorbing is a giant ball with room for 2 people which is rolled down a 200 meter hill

                                

 Snow melts during the summer months and skiing is then replaced by zorbing, paragliding, parachuting and horse riding. A ropeway was recently opened. Ropeway was chargeable Rs. 400 per person. Paragliding charge depended upon the height.



 Giant slopes of lawn comprise Solang Valley and provide it its reputation as a popular ski resort. A few ski agencies offering courses and equipment reside here and operate only during winters.
