The classic hill-station pairing

This is the circuit most first-time Himachal travellers start with: two nights in Shimla for the Ridge, Mall Road and a Kufri morning, then the long valley drive into Manali for town sights, Solang and an optional Rohtang day.

Pickup is from Delhi or Chandigarh. Hotels can be set at a comfortable Standard or Deluxe starting point; Premium stays are available on request. Adventure activities at Solang and the Rohtang excursion run on permits, weather and extra charges — they are not folded into the land package by default.

What this circuit includes

2 + 3 night stays

Two nights in Shimla and three nights in Manali, so the long transfer happens only once.

Breakfast & dinner

Daily breakfast and dinner at the stay. Lunches stay flexible on the Shimla–Manali driving day.

Private transfers

Pickup, the hill drive and guided sightseeing in a dedicated vehicle for your group.

Two hill towns

Ridge evenings in Shimla and Solang or Rohtang time in Manali — paced rather than packed.
