Driving from Delhi to Manali in a Tata Tiago: Is it doable?

The idea will be to only drive during the day and spend the nights hopefully chilling in some cool hotels and enjoying the scenery.

BHPian izzikio_rage recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Have been planning a road trip from Delhi to Manali with a stopover in Chandigarh around Christmas. The idea is to take the Tiago and self-drive the route. Is it doable? What would be the advice in terms of precautions, things to carry etc.

We've already bought the essentials - a Tyre inflator, Tow rope, jumper cable etc. The idea will be to only drive during the day and spend the nights hopefully chilling in some cool hotels and enjoying the scenery

Looking forward to all the veteran advice

Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say on the matter:

The Tiago will get you to Manali, with no issues. The highway is kept open all year round. Once there, it is best to keep the car parked at your hotel and avail of the services of local taxis, especially the Gypsies. Will save you the trouble of struggling in traffic and on ice, plus a few places like Sethan (best for snow experience) are accessible only to 4x4 cars.

Do not try to venture onto ice and snow in your car, no matter what.

Here's what BHPian Samfromindia had to say on the matter:

There is no difference between a Tiago and say an Ecosport / Nexon. It's either 2WD or 4x4. If 2WD cars can ply there, so can you. If it's a 4WD territory you cannot. In the hills, I have seen smaller cars like alto are very popular.
