A full land package. You land, we handle the rest.
Private vehicle
Company-owned AC sedan, SUV or tempo traveller with a local driver for your whole trip. Never a shared bus unless you ask.
Hotels we know
Budget to premium. We have stayed in them, so we know which rooms face the valley and which face the car park.
Meals
Breakfast and dinner included on most plans. Tell us about any dietary needs and we will arrange it.
A person on call
A tour manager stays reachable on WhatsApp for your whole journey, not a call centre.
How many days do you actually need
This is the question that decides everything else. Most disappointing Himachal trips are not badly planned, they are just too short for the distance covered.
Three to four nights
Shimla or Manali, pick one
Enough for one base with day trips around it. Shimla with Kufri and Chail, or Manali with Solang and the Atal Tunnel. Trying to squeeze both into four nights means you spend two of them in the vehicle. If you only have a long weekend, choose one and see it properly.
Five to six nights
The classic Shimla and Manali circuit
The most booked Himachal tour package, and for good reason. Two nights in Shimla, three in Manali, with the drive broken sensibly. You get Mall Road, Kufri, the Kullu valley, Solang and Hadimba without rushing. Also enough for Dharamshala with Dalhousie if you prefer quieter hills.
Seven nights or more
Spiti, Kinnaur or a wider loop
High altitude Himachal needs time, not because the distance is long but because your body needs to adjust. Spiti done in five days is how people end up with altitude sickness in Kaza. Seven to nine nights also lets you combine three regions at a human pace.
Where to go in Himachal
Himachal is not one destination. These places are hours apart and suit completely different kinds of travellers. Here is an honest guide, including who each one is wrong for.
Shimla
Best for first timers, families and elderly parents
The old summer capital, and the easiest Himachal hill station to reach and to walk. Mall Road and the Ridge are flat and pleasant, Christ Church and the Gaiety Theatre are genuinely handsome buildings, and Jakhoo Temple gives you the valley view. Kufri, twenty three kilometres out, is where families go for the snow point and horse rides.
- Great if walking distances and altitude are a concern
- Toy train from Kalka is a lovely half day if you have the time
- Very crowded in May, June and around New Year
- Wrong choice if you want quiet or offbeat
Manali and the Kullu Valley
Best for couples, snow seekers and first snowfall
Manali is the busiest name in Himachal tourism and the reason most Manali tour packages from Delhi exist. Solang Valley for paragliding and snow activities, the Atal Tunnel through to Sissu on the Lahaul side, Hadimba Devi temple in the deodar forest, and the hot springs at Vashisht. Old Manali across the river has the cafes and the slower pace.
- Atal Tunnel keeps Sissu and Lahaul reachable even in winter, which Rohtang Pass never allowed
- Kullu on the way for river rafting and the shawl workshops
- Book far ahead for the last week of December, the town fills completely
- Wrong choice if crowds bother you in peak season
Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj
Best for culture, cafes and easy trekking
McLeod Ganj sits above Dharamshala and feels like a different country. The Dalai Lama temple complex, Tibetan monasteries, Namgyal, and a food scene that is genuinely better than anywhere else in the state. Bhagsunag waterfall is a short walk. The Triund trek is nine kilometres of steady climb and the most rewarding day hike in lower Himachal, doable by a reasonably fit beginner.
- The HPCA cricket stadium with the Dhauladhar range behind it is worth the stop
- Pairs naturally with Dalhousie in a five night trip
- Cooler and wetter than Shimla, carry a layer even in summer
Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Chamba
Best for a quieter, less commercial hill trip
Dalhousie is a small colonial town spread over five hills with far less traffic than Shimla. Khajjiar, the grassy saucer of meadow ringed by deodar, gets called the mini Switzerland of India, which oversells it slightly but it is genuinely lovely on a clear morning. Chamba town, further down, has stone temples from the tenth century that almost nobody visits.
- The best value Himachal circuit if you want hills without the crowd
- Reachable from Pathankot, which suits travellers coming by train from the west
- Wrong choice if you want nightlife or a long list of activities
Kasol and the Parvati Valley
Best for young groups, friends and riverside cafes
Kasol sits on the Parvati river with Israeli cafes, pine forest and a backpacker crowd. Tosh and Kalga are the villages further up where the views open out. Manikaran, just below, has the hot springs and the Sikh gurudwara. Kheerganga is a twelve kilometre trek to a hot spring at the top, usually done as an overnight with a camp stay.
- Cheapest Himachal trip of the lot, and the shortest at two or three nights
- Combines easily with Manali since they are on the same route
- Malana is a separate village with its own customs, please respect the local rules about touching things
- Wrong choice for families with young children or elderly parents
Spiti Valley
Best for experienced travellers who want a real journey
Spiti is a cold desert at over three thousand five hundred metres and it is nothing like the rest of Himachal. Kaza is the main settlement. Key Monastery stacked on its hill is the picture everyone comes for. Langza has the fossils and the Buddha statue, Komic claims one of the world’s highest motorable villages, and Pin Valley is the wild green break in all that brown. Chandratal, the crescent lake, is the highlight if the road is open.
- Summer circuit runs Manali to Kaza to Shimla, open roughly June to October
- Winter Spiti is only reachable from the Shimla side and it is genuinely hard travel
- Altitude is real, we build acclimatisation nights into every Spiti itinerary
- Wrong choice for a short trip or for anyone with heart or breathing problems
Bir Billing
Best for paragliding
Billing is the take off at around two thousand four hundred metres and Bir is the landing site, and together they make one of the better known paragliding sites in the world. A tandem flight needs no experience. The Tibetan colony in Bir has monasteries and a quiet cafe scene, so there is something to do on a non flying day.
- Flying seasons are roughly March to June and September to November
- Weather cancels flights, so keep a spare day if flying is the whole point of the trip
- Adds neatly onto a Dharamshala trip, they are close
Jibhi and Tirthan Valley
Best for offbeat, slow travel and rivers
The Banjar side of Kullu district, still relatively undiscovered. Wooden houses, trout in the Tirthan river, and the Great Himalayan National Park on the doorstep. Jalori Pass with the short walk to Serolsar Lake is the standout day. Searches for Jibhi tour packages have roughly doubled in the last year, so the quiet will not last forever.
- Best for people who want to sit by a river rather than tick off sights
- Two to three nights is enough, often added to a Manali trip
- Jalori Pass closes in heavy snow, usually January and February
When to visit Himachal
We will tell you honestly if your dates are wrong for what you want. Selling somebody a monsoon Spiti trip is how you get a bad review.
| Months | What it is like | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| March to April | Spring. Rhododendron in flower on the lower slopes, days pleasant, nights still cold. Snow remains at Solang and the higher passes. | First trips, families, photographers |
| May to June | Peak season. Everyone escaping the plains arrives at once. Hotels are at their most expensive and Manali traffic is genuinely bad. Book six weeks ahead. | School holidays, snow at Rohtang |
| July to August | Monsoon. Landslide risk on several routes and views are often lost in cloud. Prices drop a lot. Spiti via Manali is actually at its most accessible now. | Budget trips, Spiti, greenery |
| September to October | Our own favourite. Skies clear after the rain, the crowd is gone, hotels are cheaper and the light is at its best. Apple harvest in Kinnaur and Shimla district. | Couples, honeymoon, Spiti, photography |
| November | Cold sets in, first snow usually late in the month at higher points. Very quiet and very good value. | Quiet trips, low budgets |
| December to January | Snowfall season. Shimla and Manali fill up for Christmas and New Year and rates jump sharply for that week. Spiti reachable only from the Shimla side. | Snow, New Year, honeymoon |
| February | Still snow, but the holiday crowd has gone home. Some of the best snow photographs with none of the queues. | Snow without crowds |
Getting to Himachal
From Delhi by road
Delhi to Shimla is around three hundred and fifty kilometres and takes eight to nine hours. Delhi to Manali is around five hundred and thirty kilometres and realistically twelve to fourteen hours. Most Manali tour packages from Delhi use an overnight departure so you arrive in the morning and do not lose a day.
From Chandigarh
The sensible starting point. Chandigarh to Shimla is about four hours and Chandigarh to Manali about eight. If you are flying in from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad, land at Chandigarh and start the road journey fresh rather than driving from Delhi.
By air
Chandigarh is the best connected airport. Inside Himachal there are small airports at Bhuntar for Kullu and Manali, Gaggal for Dharamshala, and Jubbarhatti for Shimla, but flights are few and get cancelled in bad weather. We never build an itinerary that depends on a Himachal flight arriving on time.
By train
Kalka is the railhead for Shimla, and the narrow gauge Kalka to Shimla toy train is a UNESCO listed line worth doing at least once. Pathankot serves Dharamshala and Dalhousie. There is no railway to Manali, so Chandigarh or Ambala plus road is the route.

Common questions
How many days do I need for Himachal?
Three to four nights covers Shimla and Manali at a sensible pace. Five to six lets you add Dharamshala or Dalhousie. Spiti needs eight or more because of the altitude.
Do you include flights or trains?
No. We are a ground handler, so our packages start from Delhi, Chandigarh or your arrival point in Himachal. We can advise on the best way to reach.
What does it cost?
Manali starts at Rs 5,999 for 3 nights and Shimla with Manali at Rs 11,999 for 5 nights, per person on twin sharing in budget hotels. Your dates, hotel category and group size move that number, so send your details and we will give you the exact figure before you commit anything.
What is not included?
Flights and trains to Himachal, lunches, entry tickets at sightseeing points, adventure activities like paragliding or river rafting, and anything personal. Everything included is written out in your itinerary so there are no surprises.
How much do I pay to confirm?
A small token amount holds your booking and locks the rate. The balance is paid later.
Is Himachal safe in the monsoon?
July and August bring landslide risk on some routes. We will tell you honestly if your dates are a bad idea and suggest an alternative rather than sell you a trip that will disappoint.
Rather just talk to someone?
Our lines are open 24 hours, including during your trip.
