About Solan Tour Package

Solan sits in Himachal Pradesh, on the old Kalka-Shimla highway. It is called the "Mushroom City" of India because of its large mushroom research and farming units. The town is small, calm, and green, with pine and deodar forests all around.

Solan sits at a comfortable height, so the air stays cool most of the year without the extreme cold of higher hill towns. The Kalka-Shimla toy train also passes through here, adding a nice old-world touch to the journey.

Solan is perfect for families, couples, and first-time hill travellers. It is not crowded like Shimla or Manali. Days here move slow. You can walk through local markets, visit old temples, or just sit by a viewpoint with tea.

The town also works well as a base for short trips. Kasauli's colonial charm and Shoghi's quiet orchards are both close by, so you can explore more without long, tiring drives each day.

For a solo traveller, Solan feels safe and easy to move around. For a family, the pace is gentle enough for kids and elders alike. For a couple, the quiet corners and misty mornings add a romantic touch.

This package is built around that slow pace. It mixes short local sightseeing in Solan with a day trip to Kasauli and an optional stop at Shoghi, so you get variety without long, tiring drives, and enough free time to simply enjoy the hills.

Best Places to Visit in Solan

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.

Tall carved spire of Jatoli Shiv Temple above the green hills of Solan

Jatoli Shiv Temple

Jatoli Shiv Temple is one of the tallest Shiv temples in Asia, standing tall on a quiet hillside near Solan. The temple has a striking South Indian style of architecture, which is rare to see in the hills of Himachal Pradesh. Its tall spire can be seen from a distance, making it a landmark for the area.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and draws both devotees and travellers who enjoy peaceful, well-kept religious sites. The complex is spacious, with clean courtyards and calm surroundings, perfect for a slow walk after prayers.

Visitors often spend an hour here, taking in the architecture, the views of the valley, and the quiet atmosphere. It is easy to reach by road and makes a good half-day visit combined with other nearby spots. Photography is allowed in most outer areas, so it is also a popular stop for those who enjoy temple architecture and hill views together.

Decorated entrance arch of Shoolini Mata Temple in Solan

Shoolini Mata Temple

Shoolini Mata Temple is the temple after which the town of Solan gets its name. It sits on a small hill and is dedicated to Goddess Shoolini, a form of Goddess Durga, believed to be the protector of the town and its people.

The temple is simple but holds deep local importance. Every year, a large fair called the Shoolini Fair is held here, drawing crowds from Solan and nearby towns. It is one of the biggest local festivals in the region.

The walk up to the temple is short and manageable, and the hill offers a nice view of the town below. Many visitors combine a temple visit with a short walk around the local market area, since both are close to each other. It is a good stop for anyone who wants to understand the local culture and history of Solan, not just see another temple.

Christ Church in Kasauli with its stone clock tower among tall trees

Kasauli

Kasauli is a small colonial-era hill town, about an hour's drive from Solan, known for its calm streets and old-world charm. The town was developed by the British as a cantonment area, and many of its buildings, churches, and roads still carry that old character today.

Christ Church, with its coloured glass windows, is one of the most photographed spots here. Monkey Point offers wide views of the plains and hills on a clear day, though it can get crowded on weekends. The Gilbert Trail is a favourite for those who enjoy an easy, shaded forest walk without a difficult climb.

Kasauli's market is small, lined with cafes, bakeries, and shops selling local jams and pickles. The pace here is unhurried, making it a nice contrast to bigger hill stations. A day trip from Solan is usually enough to cover the main sights, walk the trail, and enjoy a relaxed lunch before heading back.

  • Carry a light jacket even in summer; evenings get cool.
  • Mobile network can be weak near Kasauli's forest trails.
  • Book Kasauli sightseeing early morning to avoid weekend crowds.
  • Keep some cash handy; many small shops don't accept cards.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes for temple and trail visits.
  • Confirm hotel check-in time in advance during peak season.
