Overnight travel is very popular for this route because it lets you sleep through the plains and wake up to mountain views. However, safety depends entirely on the driver's experience and the vehicle's condition. In 2026, many operators have strict "double driver" policies for night hauls to prevent fatigue. While the roads are much wider now, the final stretch from Kullu to Manali can still be tricky in the dark due to fog or stray cattle. I'd recommend starting around 8 or 9 PM from Delhi so you reach the hilly terrain exactly at daybreak for better visibility. If you're traveling with a large group, it's always safer to tempo traveller hire Delhi to Manali from an agency that provides GPS-tracked vehicles and verified mountain-certified drivers.
