About This Package

The Delhi to Shimla road trip is the quintessential North India hill station escape β€” a scenic drive through Haryana's plains, through the Shivalik foothills and up the legendary Kalka-Shimla highway to the Queen of Hills. With your personal driver handling all the mountain roads, you simply sit back and absorb the colonial charm, cedar forests, and sweeping Himalayan views.

Shimla, the former summer capital of British India, offers a unique blend of Victorian architecture, vibrant Mall Road bazaars, and thrilling viewpoints like Jakhu Hill and Kufri. Our drivers have perfected this route and know every scenic stop and local eatery along the way.
