Shimla Tour Package

Your Shimla trip package begins with a personalised meet-and-greet at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport or New Delhi Railway Station, where your dedicated driver-representative will be ready to welcome you. Domestic and international arrivals alike are assisted with luggage and escorted to your private air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic 335 km drive into the Himalayas — approximately 7–8 hours through ascending mountain roads flanked by pine forests and Himalayan valleys.

On arrival in Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh perched at 2,205 metres above sea level, check into your pre-booked hotel and take time to acclimatise and refresh. As the evening light settles over the ridge, head out for a gentle introductory walk — visit the celebrated Jakhu Temple atop Jakhu Hill, one of Shimla's oldest and most sacred sites dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and enjoy sweeping 360-degree views of the Himalayan ranges. Stroll down to the famous Mall Road for your first taste of Shimla's unique atmosphere — a seamless blend of Victorian-era architecture, local mountain culture, and vibrant street life. Overnight stay at the hotel.

After a hearty breakfast, set out for a full day of guided sightseeing — the centrepiece of your Shimla holiday package. The morning begins with a drive to Kufri, a picturesque hill resort at 2,622 metres, renowned for its Himalayan National Park, open meadows, and unobstructed Himalayan panoramas that stretch to the distant snow-capped peaks. Visitors can enjoy optional pony and yak rides — a memorable experience especially for families and first-time visitors to India's mountains — at a personal cost.

Post lunch, the afternoon is dedicated to a heritage walk through Shimla's colonial quarter. Highlights include the Viceregal Lodge (1885), once the summer seat of the British Government of India and now a beautifully preserved heritage monument; the neo-Gothic Christ Church (1844), one of the oldest churches in northern India; the storied Gaiety Theatre (1887), a cultural landmark that has hosted performances for over a century; and the historic Grindlays Bank building (1912). The walk concludes at Scandal Point — a popular gathering spot steeped in local legend — before a final browse through the Shopping Plaza on North Mall for Himachali handicrafts, woolens, and local produce. Overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast and hotel checkout, your journey through the Queen of Hills draws to a close. Your private vehicle will transfer you back to Delhi or Chandigarh — a scenic 7–8 hour drive through the descending Himalayan foothills — in time for your onward flights, trains, or travel connections. International travellers with evening or night flights from Delhi have a comfortable timing for a smooth departure. You will be dropped directly at the international or domestic terminal at Indira Gandhi International Airport, or at New Delhi Railway Station, as per your booking details.
