How many days do I need for Shimla and Manali?
#1
The most popular route from Delhi to Shimla covers 350 kilometers via NH44 through Ambala and Kalka, taking 7 to 8 hours. Early morning departure around 6 AM helps avoid Delhi traffic and ensures afternoon arrival in Shimla. Key stops include Murthal for breakfast parathas, Pinjore Gardens for a quick stretch, and Barog for scenic mountain views.

From Shimla to Manali, the 250 kilometer journey takes 7 to 9 hours passing through Sundernagar, Mandi, and Kullu Valley. Worth stopping at Kullu for river rafting or local shawl shopping, and the scenic Pandoh Dam viewpoint. Some travelers prefer the Chandigarh route which reduces driving time by 2 hours.

Road conditions are generally good except during monsoon when landslides cause delays. Always carry snacks, water, and entertainment for children during long stretches. The Shimla tour from Delhi offers breathtaking Himalayan views throughout, making the journey as memorable as the destinations themselves.
