You cross 11 toll plazas across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,480 one way, about ₹2.13 per km, which is on the expensive side for Indian highways. 1 plaza on this route does not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹80 extra to be safe.
Manali is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
