Quiet pine trails in Kasauli, a stop in Solan, colonial Shimla and the snow point at Kufri — an easy short trip from Chandigarh.
Overview
This short trip covers the lower hills of Himachal without long drives. You start with a calm evening in Kasauli, stop at Solan on the way up, spend two nights in Shimla and take a full day out to Kufri.
It suits families, couples and first-time hill travellers who want easy sightseeing, good roads and hotels close to the main markets.
Good to know: this Kasauli Shimla Kufri Tour stays on lower, easier roads for the first two days before climbing to Kufri, which makes it a comfortable choice for families with young children or elderly parents.
Our trip planner has more than 10 years of Himachal experience, and our drivers are on these mountain roads every single week. We plan your trip the way we’d plan one for our own family, and you’ll know the full price before you pay a single rupee.
