The Shimla Manali tour package from Ayodhya on this page is a 5 nights / 6 days trip. Local legend says Hanuman rested on Jakhu hill in Shimla while searching for the Sanjeevani herb — which is why a giant Hanuman statue now towers over the town. For travellers from Ayodhya, that connection makes Shimla more than a hill station.

The trip starts with an overnight train from Ayodhya Dham to Delhi, or a flight from the new Valmiki airport to Chandigarh.
