Best Time To Visit Shimla

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

The best time to visit Shimla is from March to June. During these months, the weather is pleasant, making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. This is also the peak tourist season.

Another good time to visit Shimla is from September to November. The weather is moderate, and the crowd is smaller, making it a peaceful time to explore the city.

Climate in Shimla

Summer Season in Shimla

The season begins with spring-like weather. Winter snow melts away to reveal a glittering Shimla with green plants and shrubbery, a carpet of colourful flowers under a shimmering blue sky. The weather gets gradually warmer, and tourism slowly decreases. Most people prefer to visit Shimla in time to take advantage of winter sports, but there are many things one can do in summer. It is an excellent time for hiking, paragliding, camping, and trekking. Summer months feature warm days, cold nights and occasional rain showers. May and June might not be the best time to visit Shimla due to higher temperatures, so keep that in mind.

Monsoon Season in Shimla

The monsoon is also not the best time to visit Shimla. From July to October, the city receives about 1,400 mm of rainfall, which can severely impede your plans to explore the city and participate in adventure activities. However, Shimla is indeed dazzlingly beautiful during the monsoon. The rain washes away the heat and grime of summer, leaving the trees and hilly slopes verdant green and shimmering. The weather remains calm and pleasant despite the more significant humidity during this time. If you can tolerate or even love the rain, this could be a good time to visit Shimla. Since monsoon is considered the off-season, you may find great deals on hotels and travel.

Winter Season in Shimla

The best time to visit Shimla, India, is during the winter months of November to January. The average temperature sits at around 8 °C, and the lowest temperatures can go as low as -5 degrees Celsius, depending on your altitude. When it’s windy, the cold feel can be even more than the temperature, so pack many warm clothes. As cold as it is, winter is when Shimla is at its loveliest. It is a positively magical landscape that welcomes you when you step off your train. Romance blooms in the hills of Shimla in January, and honeymooners rush to Shimla to celebrate their love. Go ice skating, snowboarding and skiing with your family, and make snowmen and snow angels. ‘Tis the season of adventure in Shimla in winter.

    Gaurahmay's 4 days trip to Shimla

    I recently booked a trip to Shimla-Manali through Travel Triangle and its vendor Ideal Tour, and I must say it was an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience. The services provided were far below the standards promised at the time of booking. Right from the first day of the trip until th
    e last, there was a complete lack of professionalism, communication, and courtesy from both the agency and the vendor. Neither of them made any attempt to check on customer satisfaction, nor did they extend even basic courtesies such as a simple "hello." Despite multiple calls on my part to seek assistance, my calls were consistently ignored. Shockingly, when I withheld the final payment due to these unresolved issues, the agency responded rudely, scolded me, and even refused to facilitate my hotel checkout. Additionally, after collecting the advance payment, they changed the originally promised hotels to inferior properties without my consent. These alternate accommodations were of poor quality and lacked the basic amenities clearly listed in the package. Overall, this experience showed a complete lack of organization, accountability, and respect for customers. The wide gap between promises made and actual services delivered ruined what should have been an enjoyable trip. I had expected far better professionalism, customer care, and ethical business practices from a platform like Travel Triangle and its partners. Based on this experience, I will not be recommending their services to anyone and would strongly urge others to exercise caution before booking. The Ideal Tour scolded me, and even refused to facilitate my hotel checkout. Without giving good star rating the website is not letting save feedback.

    Sandeep's 5 days trip to Shimla

    Over all trip was very good. We enjoyed a lot in first 2 days at manali. In shimla hotel they provided during 1st day the room is very bad and the way to the hotel was also very Dangerous. The driver faced very difficult to ride because it is very narrow. The hotel at shimla which is given to us no
    t recommended. If they travel with ALTO CAR then fine other vehicles can't go. Over all trip is good. Snow fall at atal tunnel is very good. Very best moment in our life

    Ishani

    New delhi

    Ishani's 3 days trip to Shimla

    The overall experience was average. The hotel was not up to the five-star standard as mentioned by the travel agent — the Wi-Fi was not working during our stay, which was inconvenient. However, the hotel manager’s polite and helpful attitude stood out and was much appreciated. The cab driver was pu
    nctual and maintained a polite and professional attitude throughout, which made our travel smoother. That said, I believe the travel agent should take more care in understanding the client’s needs and clearly communicating the reality of what’s being offered, rather than overselling. Transparency builds trust and is more valuable in the long run than just making a sale.
