Shimla Manali Tour Package Itinerary (6 Days)

Day 1: Chandigarh to Shimla—Rolling Into the Hills
Distance: 120 km | Drive Time: 3–4 hours

Your trip kicks off the moment you land in Chandigarh. After pickup, hit the road toward Shimla, the former summer capital of British India.
First stop: Pinjore Gardens—stretch your legs and snap some shots in these Mughal-style gardens. Then, watch the plains give way to pine-covered slopes as you ascend into the hills.
By evening, you’re in Shimla. Take a relaxed walk down Mall Road, soak in the old-world charm of The Ridge, and peek inside the neo-Gothic Christ Church.
📸 Photo Tip: Catch the sunset from The Ridge—fiery skies framed by the Himalayas.
Stay: Check into your hotel in Shimla and unwind—your first night in the mountains begins here.

Day 2: Kufri & Shimla—Mountain Adventures and Local Vibes
Start your morning with a trip to Kufri, a small hill station big on views. Ride horseback through pine forests or find a quiet picnic spot and just breathe in the crisp air.
Back in Shimla, explore:

Green Valley – scenic, serene, and every bit as green as promised.
Mahasu Peak – the highest point in Kufri, with panoramic views that stretch for miles.
Jakhu Temple – hike (or drive) to this hilltop temple with its towering Hanuman statue.

As the sun dips, stroll Mall Road again—this time, maybe with a hot coffee or some street-side momos. Window shop, people-watch, and take in the golden hues of twilight.
Stay: Overnight in Shimla.

Day 3: Shimla to Manali—Into the Heart of the Himalayas
Distance: 250 km | Drive Time: 7–8 hours
Today’s about the journey as much as the destination. Head out after breakfast for a winding drive to Manali, cruising through the lush Kullu Valley.
Along the way:

Stop at Pandoh Dam – the perfect photo pit stop.
Drive through Mandi, known for its ancient temples and riverside charm.
Pass through the impressive Aut Tunnel – a feat of modern engineering carved through the hills.

Feeling adventurous? Try river rafting in Kullu – it’s optional, but the rapids are a rush.
Arrive in Manali by evening. Check in, relax, or explore the local market before calling it a night.

Day 4: Manali Local—Culture, Nature, and Some Chill
Ease into the day with a visit to the Hadimba Devi Temple, surrounded by towering cedar trees. Then check out:

Nehru Kund – a peaceful spring on the road to Rohtang.
Van Vihar Park – shady, quiet, and great for a laid-back walk.
Gadhan Thekchhokling Gompa – a slice of Tibetan peace right in town.

Spend your afternoon at Club House – try ziplining, go-karting, or just hang by the river. Wrap up the day on Mall Road, browsing woollens, souvenirs, or grabbing a plate of siddu or some fresh trout.
Stay: Overnight in Manali, maybe around a bonfire if the night’s cool enough.

Day 5: Solang Valley + More (Optional Add-Ons)
Today’s flexible, depending on your energy and the weather. Top picks:

Solang Valley: Go all in on adventure—paragliding, zorbing, skiing (in season), or hop the ropeway just for the views.
Atal Tunnel to Sissu: Take the drive through this massive tunnel and emerge in the stunning, often snow-dusted village of Sissu. It’s like another world. (Weather-permitting and extra cost.)
Rohtang Pass: If open, this is a must-do for snow play and epic views. (Permit required, additional cost.)
Him Valley Amusement Park: Great if you’re traveling with kids or just want something fun and light.

Head back to Manali for the night. Recharge, relax, repeat.

Day 6: Manali to Chandigarh—Wrapping It Up
Distance: 270 km | Drive Time: 6–7 hours
Say your goodbyes to the hills and roll back toward Chandigarh. But the journey’s not over just yet.

Stop at Kullu Vaishno Devi Temple on the way for some peaceful moments.
In Chandigarh, check out:
- Rose Garden – one of Asia’s biggest, and in full bloom most of the year.
- Sukhna Lake – a gentle walk by the water is the perfect wind-down.
- Sector 17 Plaza – grab a last bite or shop for souvenirs.

You’ll be dropped at the airport or railway station with a phone full of photos and a mind full of mountain memories.
