Day by day

Day-by-day itinerary

A carefully paced plan, day by day. Tap any day for the stay, meals and altitude detail.

Board a flight to Delhi from Pune. On arrival at Delhi airport, we would pick you up and head directly for Shimla by car. The 7-8 hour journey takes one from the heavily polluted plains through the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, and finally into the state’s most famous tourist destination; Shimla.

Reach the hotel and rest to start a day to explore Shimla at its best. Shimla’s importance dates back to the British Raj in India, when it was appointed the nation’s summer capital. Its highlights include Grand British architecture, lush green trees in the form of pine, oak, and deodar, and of course, the perennially pleasant weather conditions.

The second day is all about getting to know Shimla better, and experiencing some amazing places nearby. The hill-station of Kufri is the first stop for the day. Located 13 km from Shimla, Kufri has a fair number of tourist attractions, with Mahasu Peak, Kufri Fun World, Chini Bunglow, and the Himalayan Wildlife Zoo being the most prominent of the lot. Chail, another hill station located 44 km. from the state capital, has attractions such as the Chail Palace, Chail Sanctuary, Chail Gurdwara and a cricket ground.

The cricket ground, situated at an altitude of 2250 m., happens to be the highest in the world. Naldehra is the final stop on this busy day. Located 26 km. from Shimla, Naldehra’s prime attraction is its golf course, which is surrounded by lush greenery on all sides. Shimla would be your overnight resting place, as you look forward to a trip to the Beas River Valley next.

The journey to Manali takes almost 7 hours from Shimla, but the winding roads and picturesque mountain views in all directions makes the journey anything but tiring.

A popular detour on the Manali tour is a visit to the Gurdwara Manikaran Sahib, which is famous for its natural hot spring, and is known to have healing properties. Continue towards Manali and spend the night in your Manali hotel.

Our first stop on day 4 of the Kullu Manali tour package from Pune would be the Solang Valley. Located 12 km. from Shimla, the Solang Valley is a paradise for adventure sports enthusiasts. Paragliding, parachuting, skiing, and zorbing are common affairs here, and offer spectacular opportunities to experience adrenaline rush at its thrilling best. Almost 51 km. from Manalilies the Rohtang Pass, a high altitude mountain pass situated at 3978 m, which would be our next stop. Rohtang Pass is undoubtedly the highlight of most Manali travel packages.

The pass connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti valleys in the northern part of the state. Despite heavy military presence in the area, Rohtang Pass is still frequented by many a tourist, and remains an integral part of Manali tour packages.

Head back to Manali and stay overnight as the Kullu Manali tour package from Pune enters its penultimate lap.

Don’t let Manali’s ever-increasing commercial activity fool you. At its core, the town is deeply religious, and has some religious landmarks significant to Hinduism. Not too dissimilar is the town of Kullu, located approximately 40 km. away. Both towns are incredibly picturesque, and have their fair share of religious importance as well.

The ancient temples, coupled with the scenic beauty of the Himalayas, make Kullu and Manali dream destinations for travellers of all sorts.

The common capital of Punjab and Haryana is up next on the final lap of the Kullu Manali tour package from Pune. Chandigarh is one of the most respected cities in India thanks to its highly planned and structured development. Unlike many other cities, Chandigarh still boasts of great levels of greenery throughout the city and is heralded for its unique culture.

Refresh yourself at the hotel, and get ready for taking a tour of the city.

Head back to Delhi Airport or railway station, and that marks the end of the Kullu Manali tour package from Pune.
