Himachal Pradesh Tour Packages
Hill stations, Himalayan valleys and temple towns in one state. Choose Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Kasol or Spiti, or combine Himachal with a Vaishno Devi yatra. Hotels, AC cab and sightseeing are planned for you.
Himachal Pradesh Tour Overview
Himachal Pradesh sits in the western Himalaya and offers something for every kind of traveller: colonial hill stations like Shimla, snow and adventure in Manali, Tibetan culture in McLeod Ganj, quiet meadows in Khajjiar and the high-altitude desert of Spiti. It is also home to many old temples, including the Shakti temples at Chintpurni, Jwala Ji, Naina Devi, Chamunda Devi and Brajeshwari Devi.
We plan the trip around your dates, group and budget. You can take a classic 6 day Shimla and Manali plan, add Dharamshala and Dalhousie, or join Himachal with the Vaishno Devi yatra, since Katra is roughly 240 km from Dharamshala. See our Vaishno Devi and Himachal tour package for an 8 day combined plan.

Travel Tips for Himachal Pradesh
- Keep buffer days. Rain, snow and landslides can close roads, especially from July to September and in winter.
- Plan long drives. Shimla to Manali and Manali to Chandigarh are each a full day on the road. Start early.
- Carry warm clothes. Evenings are cool even in summer, and nights are very cold from November to February.
- Mind the altitude. Drink water and go slowly on arrival in Spiti, Lahaul and Kinnaur. Seniors and people with heart or breathing problems should check with a doctor first.
- Check permits and road status. Rohtang Pass, Atal Tunnel side trips and the Spiti route depend on the season and local rules.

This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather or closures is payable by the guest.
FAQs for Himachal Pradesh Tour Packages
How many days are enough for a Himachal Pradesh tour?
Six days is enough for Shimla and Manali. Add two to three days for Dharamshala and Dalhousie, and plan a week or more if you want Kasol, Kinnaur or Spiti.
What is the best time to visit Himachal Pradesh?
March to June and September to November suit most places. December to February is for snow, and July to September brings monsoon road delays. Spiti and Lahaul are best from June to October.
Can I combine Vaishno Devi with Himachal Pradesh?
Yes. Katra is roughly 240 km from Dharamshala by road, so many guests go to Vaishno Devi first and then to Dharamshala, Dalhousie or Manali. See our Vaishno Devi and Himachal tour package for an 8 day plan.
How far is Manali from Shimla?
It is about 250 km by road and takes around 7 to 8 hours with stops, via Mandi and Kullu.
Is Rohtang Pass included in the packages?
Not in the standard plan. Rohtang depends on the season, weather and permits, and vehicle charges are extra. We guide you on the options when you book.
Will it snow when I visit?
Snow is likely in Manali, Shimla, Kufri and Dalhousie from December to February, and sometimes in late November or March. It is never guaranteed on a given date.
Are train or flight tickets included?
No. Packages cover hotels, meals as listed, the AC cab and sightseeing. We can add train or air tickets on request at extra cost.
Can you customise a Himachal tour?
Yes. Choose your cities, number of nights and hotel category. Send us your dates, group size and budget, and we will reply with a day-wise plan and a quote.
Do you offer helicopter packages from Himachal cities to Vaishno Devi?
Yes. We have helicopter packages from 24 Himachal cities, from 3 days and ₹9,500 for nearby cities like Dharamshala to longer plans for Spiti and Kinnaur. Pick your city in the list on this page.
Which is better for a first trip, Shimla or Manali?
Shimla is closer to Chandigarh and Delhi and suits a short break with easy sightseeing. Manali is better for snow, valley views and activities. Most guests combine both in a 6 day plan.
Which Himachal tour package is best for honeymoon couples?
Shimla and Manali is the classic couple plan. Dharamshala and Dalhousie suit couples who want quiet hill stays. Tell us your dates and budget and we will suggest hotels with a good view.
Can I visit the Shakti temples of Himachal in one trip?
Yes. Naina Devi, Chintpurni, Jwala Ji, Chamunda Devi and Brajeshwari Devi can be planned together, and you can add Vaishno Devi for a full Devi yatra. See our Vaishno Devi 5 Devi tour package.
Is Himachal safe for families and senior citizens?
Yes, on the main routes with a good vehicle and an early start. Roads are winding, so keep motion-sickness tablets handy. For seniors we suggest fewer long drives and lower altitudes such as Shimla, Dharamshala or Dalhousie.
