Below is our Shimla Manali tour package from Patna: 5 nights / 6 days, with a private vehicle from the joining point. Bihar is where Buddhism began, and Patna travellers often enjoy finding its Himalayan side: the Dorje Drak monastery on the edge of Shimla and the Tibetan gompa in Manali, with prayer flags strung across the valley roads.

The plains leg is long — about 20 hours by train to Delhi — so a 2-hour flight to Chandigarh is often worth it.
