The classic Himachal week — Shimla's ridge and mall, the drive through the Kullu valley, Manali's temples and the run up towards Rohtang.
View JourneyColonial hill stations, deodar forests and the snow line at Rohtang — the Himalayas reached in a day from the plains, with your own private car and driver in Delhi on every mountain bend.
Both hill stations sit on one route from Delhi — which is exactly why they are almost always travelled together.

One WayJust need the drive? Fixed-fare transfer from Delhi to Manali — fuel, tolls and taxes included, with a driver used to hill roads.
View FaresThe shape most guests follow — and the starting point we customise around your dates, pace and interests.
The road trip out of the plains and up into the Himachal foothills, arriving by evening.
The Ridge, Mall Road, Jakhoo and the colonial architecture of the old summer capital.
The drive along the Beas through the Kullu valley — the most beautiful day on the road.
Hadimba temple, Old Manali, Solang valley and the deodar forests around the town.
Up to the snow line and back, when the pass is open and permits allow.
The return south via Chandigarh, with a stop for lunch along the way.
This is the common shape, not a fixed rule — tell us whether you want viewpoints and picnic spots or paragliding, trekking and camping, and we build the days around it.
Shimla and Manali suit both — the difference is entirely in how we plan the days.
Viewpoints over the valleys, picnic spots among the deodars, and short easy walks — with the car always nearby when little legs give out.
Solang and beyond — paragliding over the valley, trekking routes out of Manali, and nights under canvas at altitude.
Set in the Himalayas and known as Devbhumi — the land of gods — Himachal Pradesh tops most lists of where to go in north India, and it has something for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Shimla and Manali are its two most visited towns, drawing travellers from across India and around the world every year.
The Shimla Manali tour package from Delhi is the most popular Himachal itinerary for a simple reason of geography: Shimla lies about 344 km from Delhi, and Manali sits beyond it on the same road, so one journey takes in both. Every itinerary can be shaped to your time and budget — which is the advantage of travelling with your own car and driver rather than a fixed-departure coach.
Hill roads reward a comfortable, well-maintained vehicle and a chauffeur who has driven them before — both of which you can review on our car rental page. If the mountains suit you, Uttarakhand's hills are the natural next journey: the lake town of Nainital, the ghats of Haridwar and Rishikesh, or the high shrines of the Char Dham Yatra.
