Discover Shimla

About Shimla Tour Package

Shimla sits in the lower Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, about 340 km from Delhi. It was once the summer capital of British India, and that history still shows in its churches, wooden houses, and the famous Ridge.

The town suits almost everyone. Families enjoy the toy train and easy walks. Couples like the cafes and mountain views. Backpackers use it as a base for short treks and day trips to nearby villages.

A typical day here starts slowly with mist over the hills, moves into a walk on Mall Road or a short drive to a viewpoint, and ends with hot food and warm bonfires. This package is built around that easy rhythm, with enough free time to explore at your own pace. Short on leave? The Himachal tour package from Delhi reaches Shimla by overnight Volvo, while the luxury Himachal tour package pairs Shimla and Manali with 4-star stays.

Where to go

Best Places to Visit in Shimla

Hill stations, valleys and pilgrimage towns — a short guide to what each one actually offers, so you can pick the right combination for your trip.

Golden entrance gate of Jakhu Hanuman Temple in Shimla

Jakhu Temple

Jakhu Temple stands at about 2,455 metres on Jakhu Hill, the highest point in Shimla, roughly a 2-km walk from Mall Road or a short ropeway ride from The Ridge. The temple is dedicated to Hanuman and is linked to the Ramayana legend of Hanuman resting here while carrying the Sanjeevani herb to save Lakshman.

Its best-known feature is the 108-foot Hanuman statue, unveiled in 2010, visible from several points across Shimla town. The original shrine sits just behind it and is believed to be several centuries old. From the hilltop, the temple offers a wide view over Shimla, the Shivalik ranges, and snow-capped peaks on clear days.

A resident troop of langurs and rhesus macaques lives around the complex. They are considered guardians of the temple but are known to snatch food, bags or spectacles from visitors, so guides recommend keeping valuables out of sight.

Kalka-Shimla toy train winding through green forest

Kalka-Shimla Toy Train

The Kalka-Shimla Railway is a 96-km narrow-gauge line built by the British and opened for passenger service in 1903, connecting Kalka in the plains to Shimla, then the summer capital of India. It runs on a 2 ft 6 in gauge track and climbs from about 656 metres at Kalka to 2,076 metres at Shimla.

The route passes through 102 tunnels and over 800 bridges, including the long Barog tunnel. In 2008, UNESCO added it to the Mountain Railways of India World Heritage Site, alongside the Darjeeling and Nilgiri lines.

Today the line mainly runs as a heritage and tourist service, with several classes of train available, and the full one-way journey between Kalka and Shimla takes around 5 to 6 hours.

Christ Church and the Ridge in Shimla covered in winter snow

Christ Church

Christ Church sits on The Ridge in the centre of Shimla and is the second-oldest church in North India, after St John's Church in Meerut. Its foundation stone was laid in 1844 and the church was consecrated in 1857, built in a neo-Gothic style using local grey stone, with a 90-foot steeple that still dominates Shimla's skyline.

Inside, stained glass windows depict the Christian virtues of Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Patience and Humility; the chancel window was designed by Lockwood Kipling, father of the writer Rudyard Kipling. The church also houses a large pipe organ, installed in 1899 and among the largest in the Indian subcontinent at the time.

The church remains an active place of worship and one of the most-photographed buildings on The Ridge.

Good to know

A few tips before you travel

  • Carry warm layers even in summer — evenings turn cold quickly.
  • Mobile network can be weak in Kufri and interior areas; download offline maps.
  • Book toy train tickets in advance during peak season, seats fill fast.
  • Keep some cash handy, as small shops on Mall Road may not accept cards.
  • Wear good grip shoes if visiting in winter due to icy roads.
  • Avoid driving yourself on hill roads if you're not used to mountain driving.
