Manali to Patiala is about 357 km by road, and the drive takes 8-9 hours in normal traffic, running on NH205 / NH3 via Bhuntar, Kullu, Mandi, Sundernagar, Bilaspur, Kiratpur Sahib, Chandigarh.
The longest route we run, and the one most often underestimated. Chandigarh to Mandi on NH3 is wide and quick, but the Kiratpur Sahib to Bilaspur stretch carries heavy truck traffic and routinely adds an hour. Past Mandi the road enters the Beas valley and climbs through the Pandoh Dam section and the Aut Tunnel before the final run up through Kullu and Bhuntar. The descent through Kullu and Mandi is slower than the map suggests, and the Bilaspur truck traffic is unavoidable in either direction. Starting from Manali by 6 AM gets you into Patiala at a sensible hour.
Sundernagar or Mandi, roughly the halfway mark, is where most drivers break. Beyond Mandi the stops thin out.
This is a full day. Leaving Patiala by 5 AM gets you into Manali in daylight; leaving after 8 AM usually means arriving after dark on mountain road, which we would rather avoid.
