A Two-Day Trip To Himachal Pradesh

Package Overview

Requires a focused approach, as the state is vast and travel between major towns can be time-consuming. The best way to make the most of a short trip is to pick one primary location and explore its surrounding attractions. The most popular choices are Shimla or Manali.

Here are two detailed 2-day itineraries, one for each city, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your interests.

Shimla - The Queen of Hills
Shimla, the former summer capital of British India, is known for its colonial charm, bustling streets, and picturesque views. This itinerary focuses on its historical and natural highlights.

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Colonial Heritage and Local Life

  Morning (Arrival & Check-in): Arrive in Shimla and check into your hotel. Start your day by heading to the Mall Road, the heart of the city. This main street is a pedestrian-only zone, lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants.
  
  Late Morning (The Ridge & Christ Church): Walk towards The Ridge, a large open space on Mall Road that offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills. Here, you'll find Christ Church, a beautiful neo-Gothic structure and one of the oldest churches in North India.
  
  Afternoon (Jakhoo Temple): After lunch, make your way to Jakhoo Hill, the highest peak in Shimla. You can either take a pleasant walk or, for a more scenic and quicker option, use the Jakhoo Ropeway. The hill is home to the Jakhoo Temple, dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and features a massive 108-foot-tall statue of the deity. The views from the top are spectacular.
  
  Evening (Local Shopping & Dining): As the sun begins to set, return to Mall Road. You can explore Lakkar Bazaar, a market famous for its wooden crafts and souvenirs. End your day with a delicious dinner at a local eatery, sampling Himachali cuisine or enjoying the cozy ambiance of a café.

• Day 2 : Kufri & Nature's Beauty

  Morning (Kufri Adventure): Take a half-day trip to Kufri, a small hill station just a short drive from Shimla. Kufri is known for its scenic beauty and adventure activities. Depending on the season, you can enjoy horse riding, go-karting, or even a walk through the Himalayan Nature Park, which is home to various local flora and fauna. In winter, Kufri turns into a popular skiing spot.
  
  Afternoon (Viceregal Lodge): Return to Shimla for lunch. Afterward, visit the Viceregal Lodge, also known as Rashtrapati Niwas. This historic building, once the summer residence of British Viceroys, is now home to the Indian Institute of Advanced Study. The impressive architecture and well-maintained gardens are a treat to explore.
  
  Late Afternoon (Toy Train Ride): If time permits and you're interested in a unique experience, consider taking a short ride on the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a charming journey through tunnels and scenic landscapes. Even a short ride from Shimla to a nearby station like Summer Hill can be a memorable experience.
  
  Evening (Departure): Enjoy a final evening walk or some last-minute shopping before you head to the airport or train station for your departure.
