A few years back sleeper bus service was there, but now it is banned by Himachal Government. Half of the Delhi Manali route is hilly and it’s difficult to drive heavy sleeper buses. And in winter it’s become more difficult when roads are covered with snow to drive sleeper buses. Keeping in mind the security of passengers Himachal Government banned sleeper bus to Manali. Four-lane roads are under construction and maybe in the future when roads are suitable for heavy vehicles we can again see sleeper buses in Manali.
