Your journey with Royal Himachal Trips begins with a warm welcome at Chandigarh Airport or Railway Station, where our representative will receive you and assist with your scenic drive to Shimla. The journey, which takes around 3 to 4 hours, offers breathtaking views of the lower Himalayas. En route, you’ll stop at the historic Pinjore Gardens, a beautifully laid-out Mughal-style garden known for its lush greenery and terraced layout, followed by a brief halt at Timber Trail, offering spectacular cable car views across deep valleys and forested slopes. As you reach Shimla, the former summer capital of British India, you’ll immediately feel the charm of its colonial-era buildings and snow-capped mountain views. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed stroll along The Mall and The Ridge, two of Shimla’s most iconic promenades, which are home to architectural landmarks such as Christ Church, the Library Building, and historic temples like Jakhu and Sankat Mochan. Your overnight stay in Shimla provides the perfect end to a day filled with scenic beauty and cultural charm.
After a hearty breakfast, the day begins with a visit to the nearby hill retreat of Kufri, a picturesque town perched at an altitude of 2,622 meters. On your way, you’ll drive through the lush landscapes of Green Valley, known for its dense pine forests and striking views. Kufri is a year-round attraction, offering snow activities in winter and refreshing greenery in summer. You’ll also visit popular sites like the Himalayan Nature Park and Indira Tourist Park, with additional scenic stops at places like Chini Bungalow and Fagu Valley. After enjoying the cool mountain air, your journey continues toward Manali. Along the route, stop at Sundernagar Lake and the Pandoh Dam, where natural and man-made beauty come together in perfect harmony. A visit to the Vaishno Devi Temple in Kullu adds a spiritual touch, while a brief stop in Kullu offers a chance to explore its vibrant markets known for woolen handicrafts and handwoven shawls. If time allows, you may opt for river rafting in the Beas River before reaching Manali in the evening for check-in and a restful overnight stay.
Begin your day with breakfast and get ready to explore the cultural and natural highlights of Manali. Your tour starts with a visit to the Hadimba Devi Temple, a unique wooden structure built in 1553, nestled in a cedar forest and admired for its pagoda-style architecture. Next, head to the Club House, a popular recreational center offering indoor games, small eateries, and riverside charm. Continue to the Tibetan Monastery, where colorful prayer wheels and Buddhist art create a tranquil atmosphere, followed by a walk through Van Vihar, a serene park with towering trees and boating facilities. You’ll also visit the cascading Jogini Waterfalls, a short and scenic hike away, as well as the Manu Temple and Vashisht Temple — the latter known for its natural hot water springs believed to have healing properties. In the evening, take time to explore the bustling Mall Road, where local shops and eateries offer the perfect blend of shopping and dining. Return to your hotel in Manali for a comfortable overnight stay.
After breakfast, embark on an unforgettable day trip to Solang Valley, Manali’s adventure hotspot surrounded by snow-covered peaks and alpine meadows. Depending on the season, you can enjoy a range of activities such as paragliding, skiing, snow scootering, cable car rides, horse riding, or zorbing. For those seeking a unique spiritual experience, a short trek to Anjani Mahadev reveals a naturally formed ice lingam of Lord Shiva during winter months. Later in the day, drive through the Atal Tunnel, one of the world’s longest high-altitude road tunnels, which connects Manali to the Lahaul Valley. Continue your journey to discover scenic stops like Nehru Kund, the picturesque hamlet of Gulaba, and Kothi Village, each offering their own slice of Himachal’s raw beauty. You’ll also explore Him Valley, a cultural theme park that brings Himachali traditions to life through performances and displays. After an exciting day of exploration and adventure, return to your Manali hotel for a relaxing overnight stay.
On your final day, enjoy breakfast and check out from your hotel as you begin your drive back to Chandigarh. The journey offers one last chance to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Kullu Valley. En route, stop again in Kullu to visit local markets, shawl weaving centers, or even indulge in an optional river rafting session if you missed it earlier. As you continue toward Chandigarh, take in the beautiful views and reflect on the unforgettable memories created over the past few days.
