Shimla Manali Tour Package from Bangalore

If you know Ooty and Coorg, meet their Himalayan cousins — 5 Nights / 6 Days

Overview

Hill stations, the northern way

Quick answer

Our Shimla Manali tour package from Bangalore is a 5 Nights / 6 Days trip covering Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Manikaran. From Bangalore, reach Chandigarh or Kalka by train or flight; Shimla is about three hours further by road or a few hours on the toy train. Prices are on request with a free written quote.

Our Shimla Manali Tour Package from Bangalore runs 5 nights / 6 days, planned end to end from Gorakhpur. Bengaluru families grow up with Ooty, Coorg and Kodaikanal, so hill stations are familiar. What surprises them in Shimla and Manali is the scale — snow peaks on the horizon, deep river valleys and, in winter, real snow on the ground.

Because the train takes about 34–42 hours to Delhi, this trip is planned around a 3.5-hour flight to Chandigarh.

What feels different from the southern hills

Shimla's Mall Road and churches will remind you of Ooty's colonial past, but the Himalayan views from Kufri and the high passes beyond Manali have no southern equivalent. Families often tell us the Shimla–Manali drive, along rivers and past big dams, is a highlight in itself.
