Shimla Manali Visit With Delhi Agra

The combination offers the best of two worlds:
• Hill‑station tranquility (cool climate, pine‑filled valleys, adventure sports).
• Historical grandeur (Mughal monuments, colonial Delhi, vibrant Chandigarh).
It’s the perfect North Indian heritage trip that lets you experience both the mountains and the iconic monuments without a long‑haul flight.

October – March is ideal:
• Shimla & Manali enjoy crisp, clear weather; snow is possible in Manali (late Dec‑Feb) for a magical experience.
• Delhi‑Agra has pleasant winter days (10‑20 °C) making sightseeing comfortable.
April – June is also possible if you prefer greener hills, but expect hotter temperatures in Delhi‑Agra (30‑45 °C).

• Delhi – 2 nights (arrival + full‑day sightseeing).
• Chandigarh – 1 night (quick stop to see the Capitol Complex and Rock Garden).
• Shimla – 2 nights (enough for city tour and nearby attractions like Kufri).
• Manali – 3 nights (covers local sightseeing, Rohtang/Atal Tunnel, and optional adventure activities).
• Agra – day‑trip from Delhi (early start, return by evening).

All transfers will be arranged by private Sedan/SUV/ Tempo vehicle.

Rohtang Pass requires a Rohtang/Atal Tunnel Permit (online via Himachal Tourism website). The permit is limited to 10 persons per vehicle and is generally open Nov – May (subject to snowfall). Atal Tunnel (newer, lower‑altitude) also needs a permit but is less restrictive. Most tour operators include the permit cost in the package.

• Delhi: 3‑star to 5‑star hotels.
• Chandigarh: Mid‑range hotels or boutique stays.
• Shimla: Heritage hotels (e.g., The Oberoi Cecil) or comfortable mid‑range options near Mall Road.
• Manali: Riverside resorts or mountain‑view hotels.
All suggested hotels provide breakfast, Wi‑Fi, and easy access to the major sights.

Budget travelers: INR 32,000 – 40,000 per person (hostel/guesthouse, private transport, meals).
Mid‑range: INR 45,000 – 60,000 per person (3‑4 star hotels, private cab, select activities).
Luxury: INR 90,000 + per person (5‑star hotels).
