Snow peaks, pine valleys and the charm of the Himalayan hill country
Journey overview
Escape to the Himalayas on a week-long journey through Shimla and Manali, North India’s best-loved hill stations.

A refreshing holiday of cool air, mountain views and gentle adventure.

Morning excursion to Kufri, Himachal’s popular adventure and snow destination, and the tranquil viewpoint of Fagu. Return for a Shimla city tour and an evening stroll along the iconic Mall Road shopping street.
Journey through the Beas River valley to Manali, stopping at Kullu market for shawls, caps and local handicrafts. Check in and overnight in Manali.
Visit Manali’s ancient temples in the morning, then spend the day at the spectacular Solang Valley. Ride the ropeway for sweeping mountain views and try optional adventure activities.
Descend from the mountains to Chandigarh, India’s famous planned city. Visit the renowned Rock Garden and enjoy an evening of shopping and relaxation.
Return to Delhi with the evening free for shopping in the capital’s markets and malls.
