See All See All See All

Himachal Pradesh, nestled in the western Himalayas, is a land of snow-capped peaks, pine-covered slopes, apple orchards, and peaceful Buddhist monasteries. From the colonial charm of Shimla to the adventure-filled valleys of Manali and the spiritual serenity of Dharamshala, Himachal is an all-in-one paradise for families, nature lovers, and thrill-seekers alike. The fresh mountain air, charming villages, scenic drives, and cool rivers make it ideal for both summer vacations and snowy winter escapes. Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful walk through a forest trail or ziplining across river valleys, the diverse landscapes of Himachal offer a perfect blend of peace and excitement. With friendly locals, delicious pahadi food, and cozy homestays, it’s a safe and beautiful destination for all ages.

Your journey begins with a drive from Chandigarh or Delhi to Shimla, winding through the beautiful hills of Himachal. Once you arrive, check into your hotel and spend the evening walking along the famous Mall Road, visiting Christ Church, and watching the sun dip behind the deodar-covered hills at Scandal Point. A relaxed dinner in the fresh mountain air completes your first day.
The second day takes you on a short drive to Kufri, a scenic hill spot just 40 minutes from Shimla. Known for snow sports in winter and horse rides to the Mahasu Peak viewpoint, Kufri is a fun stop for families. Later, return to Shimla and explore places like Jakhu Temple and the Himachal State Museum, or enjoy a quiet walk through the pine forests.
On the third day, start early for a full-day drive to Manali. The scenic road winds through small towns like Bilaspur, Mandi, and Kullu Valley, where you’ll see rivers, waterfalls, and apple orchards along the way. After about 8 hours, you’ll arrive in Manali, check into your hotel, and unwind with dinner overlooking the Beas River.
Day four is all about discovering the charm of Manali. Start your morning at Hadimba Temple, nestled in a cedar forest, then visit Manu Temple and the Vashisht hot springs. You can also explore the Tibetan Monastery and enjoy shopping in the vibrant markets along the Mall Road. The cool air and lively streets make the evening truly relaxing.
Today is reserved for adventure. Head to Solang Valley, where you can enjoy paragliding, ropeways, and ATV rides, or, if the season allows, travel to Rohtang Pass for snow-covered fun. Families love the snow activities, while nature lovers admire the majestic mountain views. Return to Manali by evening and relax after a thrilling day.
On day six, take a scenic road journey to Dharamshala, the spiritual and cultural capital of Himachal’s Tibetan community. The drive takes about 8 hours and offers beautiful views of changing landscapes. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy a peaceful evening surrounded by pine forests and the mighty Dhauladhar mountains.
Spend your day exploring Dharamshala and nearby McLeod Ganj, where the Dalai Lama resides. Visit the Namgyal Monastery, Bhagsunag Waterfall, and the peaceful Dal Lake. St. John’s Church in the Wilderness and the local Tibetan markets also offer great stops for cultural experiences and souvenirs. End your day with a hot cup of butter tea at a hill café.
On your final day, begin your return journey to Chandigarh or Delhi. You can make short scenic stops on the way and enjoy your last few hours in the hills. Depart with beautiful memories, hundreds of photos, and a heart full of peace from the land of Himachal Pradesh.
The best time to visit Himachal depends on your travel goals. If you love lush green valleys, pleasant weather, and clear skies, the ideal time is from March to June. For those looking for snowfall and winter activities like skiing in Solang or Kufri, the best time is between December and February. The monsoon season, especially July and August, should be avoided due to the risk of landslides in certain areas.
Yes, Himachal Pradesh is one of the most family-friendly hill destinations in India. Places like Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala have good roads, clean hotels, medical facilities, and a peaceful environment. Whether you’re traveling with children or elderly family members, the state offers a safe and scenic experience, as long as you avoid overexerting travel schedules and take breaks during long drives.
You can drive your own car if you're confident with hill roads and have experience navigating curves and slopes. The roads from Delhi or Chandigarh to Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala are generally in good condition. However, hiring a local driver or taxi is recommended for a stress-free trip, especially during winter or in less developed areas like Rohtang or upper Himachal.
For Indian citizens, no permits are needed for most of Himachal Pradesh. However, a permit or online e-pass is required to visit Rohtang Pass (usually between May and October). These can be arranged online or by your driver. Foreign tourists need to carry a valid passport and may be required to register in some inner-line areas, though most common tourist spots don’t require permits.
Himachal offers a variety of cuisines, including North Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, and local pahadi food. You’ll easily find kid-friendly meals like dal-chawal, paneer, noodles, parathas, and more. Restaurants in tourist areas are hygienic, and cafes in places like Manali and Dharamshala offer everything from momos to pizzas and pancakes, making it easy to satisfy all age groups
