To truly enjoy the hills without feeling like you are just 'living in a car,' I recommend a minimum of 6 Days and 5 Nights. A typical Shimla and Manali Tour itinerary from Delhi looks like this:
- Day 1: Delhi to Shimla drive.
- Day 2: Shimla & Kufri sightseeing.
- Day 3: Scenic drive from Shimla to Manali (about 7-8 hours).
- Day 4: Manali local sights (Hadimba Temple, Mall Road).
- Day 5: Solang Valley or Rohtang Pass for snow.
- Day 6: Drive back to Delhi.
