India's Mountain Soul
Himachal Pradesh Tour Package
Manali · Shimla · Kasol · Dharamsala — Mountains, Snow & Monasteries in 6 Days
Starting from
₹13,999 /person
Package Overview
Himachal Pradesh is India's mountain heartland — a state of snow-capped peaks, sacred rivers, ancient monasteries, hill station charm, and adventure at every turn. From the colonial elegance of Shimla to the bohemian backpacker scene of Kasol, from the Buddhist monasteries of Dharamsala to the adventure capital of Manali — Himachal has something for every kind of traveller.
Our 5-night package covers the essential Himachal circuit. You'll start in the pleasant hill town of Shimla, pass through the riverside hamlet of Kasol in the Parvati Valley (beloved by trekkers and nature lovers), and end in Manali — with its snow peaks, river crossings, and gateway to Rohtang Pass.
All road transport is in comfortable AC vehicles. Our experienced mountain drivers know these roads intimately. The package is designed for first-time Himachal visitors seeking a comprehensive overview without the exhaustion of a rushed itinerary.
Best months: October–December and March–June. Summer (April–June) is ideal for snow activities. Winter (December–February) brings snowfall but some roads close.

Travel Tips
Expert advice before you go
October is the best Himachal month — crystal clear post-monsoon skies, snow-capped peaks visible, autumn colour in the forests.
Shimla Toy Train (Kalka–Shimla) must be booked 30 days ahead — it fills up in season. Book on IRCTC website.
Roads in Himachal are narrow and winding — motion sickness medication is essential for those prone to car sickness.
Mobile networks are patchy in valleys — BSNL works more widely than Jio/Airtel in remote areas. Download offline maps.
