About this trip
A week through three of North India's most visited hill towns, starting in Delhi and taking in Shimla, Manali and Chandigarh. Expect snow-capped ridgelines, pine forests and valley views rather than a single big-ticket sight.
Shimla brings colonial-era streets, temples and viewpoints, while Manali is the base for the trip's outdoor moments, with the Beas valley and surrounding peaks on your doorstep. Chandigarh rounds things off with a gentler, garden-city pace before heading back.
It's a straightforward, easy-going itinerary suited to families or groups who want the classic Himachal highlights without a demanding schedule.
What you'll do
- Visit Jakhoo Temple and The Ridge in Shimla
- Take in mountain views at Kufri and Naldehra
- Head up to Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley near Manali
- Explore Chandigarh's Rock Garden and Rose Garden
- Options for trekking, rafting or paragliding around Manali
- Adventure activities like rafting, trekking and paragliding are mentioned as possibilities in Manali rather than guaranteed inclusions, worth checking what's actually built into the itinerary
- Billed as an easy-paced trip, suited to families and mixed groups
Worth it if you value hands-on driver expertise and customisable itineraries. Think twice if you need extensive group socialising or want to avoid early mountain starts.

- Itineraries tailored to individual preferences—solo travellers and groups alike got bespoke pacing between adventure and relaxation.
- Long hilly drives are standard; comfort matters here, and the company prioritises quality vehicles and patient, courteous drivers throughout.
- Accommodation consistently described as high-standard and well-chosen; boutique properties in Shimla and comfort stays in Manali mentioned repeatedly.
