Layering for Manali: Understanding the Temperature
Manali, with its pristine beauty and chilly winters, beckons travelers from around the world. To make the most of your GlampEco experience, it’s vital to understand the temperature variations you may encounter.
In the winter months, Manali experiences temperatures that can dip below freezing point. Daytime temperatures typically range from 0°C to 10°C, while nights can get considerably colder, often falling between -5°C and -10°C. Therefore, proper layering is your best ally against the cold. Here’s a breakdown of the layers you should consider:
Base Layer:
Think of this as your second skin. The base layer is designed to keep moisture away from your body and retain heat. Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool. Make sure to pack two sets of base layers for your 5 -7 days itinerary.
Middle Layer:
The middle layer adds insulation to trap the warmth generated by your body. Consider items like fleece jackets or polyfill vests. These pieces provide excellent insulation without adding excessive bulk. They are easy to remove if you start feeling too warm during your outdoor adventures in Manali.
Outer Layer:
Your outer layer is your first line of defense against the cold. A waterproof and windproof jacket is essential to shield you from the elements. Look for one with a breathable membrane to prevent overheating. Don’t forget to pack waterproof pants as well, especially if you plan on exploring snowy trails.
Winter Apparel Suited for GlampEco
When visiting GlampEco, be sure to pack the right winter apparel to stay comfortable and cozy during your stay. Consider the following checklist for a 5-7 day trip.
Base Layer:
Middle Layer:
- 1 Sweater or Sweatshirt
- 1 Pullover
Outer Layer:
Accessories:

Should I Carry a Backpack or a Suitcase?
When planning your trip to GlampEco, it’s essential to consider whether you should carry a backpack or a suitcase. Here are some crucial factors to take into account:
GlampEco is Located at Higher Terrain:
GlampEco is situated on a higher terrain, providing stunning views of the Himalayan landscape. The elevation and the hilly terrain mean that you may encounter uneven paths and stairs. Navigating these terrains can be challenging with a suitcase on wheels, as it might get stuck or be challenging to pull uphill.
Covered with Snow:
During your winter stay at GlampEco, the area is likely to be covered with snow. Snow can further complicate the use of a suitcase as wheels might not work effectively on snowy surfaces, making it more convenient to have a backpack that you can carry comfortably.
Difficult for Helpers to Pull Suitcases:
If you plan on relying on helpers to transport your luggage to your dome, keep in mind that pulling suitcases through snow and uneven terrain can be physically demanding for them. Carrying a backpack can make their task easier and reduce the risk of accidents due to slippery surfaces.
Roads May Be Blocked Due to Poor Weather:
In the Himalayan region, poor weather conditions can sometimes lead to road closures and transportation delays. In such cases, you may need to carry your luggage for extended distances. A backpack is much more versatile and convenient in such situations, allowing you to maneuver easily and continue your journey without being dependent on wheeled luggage.
So, a backpack is highly recommended for a winter trip to GlampEco, as it offers greater practicality and convenience.
