Shimla — 3 Nights / 4 Days Tour
Himachal Pradesh · Hill station — The old summer capital, and still the most accessible hill station from Delhi. The Mall and Ridge are pedestrian and pleasant; everything else involves gradient, which matters if anyone in the party is older or unfit. Two nights covers it comfortably. The Kalka–Shimla toy train is a UNESCO line and a far better way to arrive than the road — five hours of switchbacks and tunnels rather than a queue on the ghat. Kufri is on every itinerary and is, honestly, the weakest thing here. This 3-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions
Package FAQs
Is Shimla suitable for elderly parents?
The Mall and Ridge are level and pedestrian, which makes it one of the better hill stations for that. Jakhoo and Kufri involve real climbing — take the ropeway or skip them.
Is Kufri worth including?
It is on most itineraries and it is the weakest part of them. If your time is short, spend it on the Ridge and the toy train instead.
Is this a fixed itinerary or can it be customised?
It is a flexible framework built around Shimla's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions rather than publish an average that changes the moment you ask. A consultant replies within one working day; no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Shimla is served by Chandigarh (IXC), 113 km (rail: Shimla (toy train), Kalka for broad gauge). All local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added to your quote.
