Hi,

I have been to Manali recently in June 2009. You can see the snow covered mountains all the year round. The best time is till 10th August untill then you can goto Rohtang Pass to touch the snow covered mountains. After August, route to Rohtang is close till May next year.

Hi Ashfaq,

Snow covered mountains are for almost 8-9 months, December through August. But to enjoy snowfall, best time is 2nd 3rd. week of January. Till June, most of the hills are snow covered.
