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.

    Prakhar's 4 days trip to Shimla

    Very nicely planned trip by Mr Sandeep. Driver is also very mature and well behaved

    Amit's 3 days trip to Shimla

    It was great experience with the travel. Driver was expert in his job. I was feeling that I am travelling on Delhi roads while we are travelling on shimla roads. It was very smooth journey with safety and rules.

    Bhavanics's 3 days trip to Shimla

    Travel on ease did a good job for making our Kerala trip memorable. It was smooth switch between the activities. All the pre preparations for the day was taken care of very nicely, we didn’t had to struggle one for anything.

    Tushar Saxena

    Delhi

    Tushar's 4 days trip to Shimla

    I had a wonderful trip to Nainital, thanks to Sandeep. Unlike many travel agents who disappear after taking the payment, Sandeep genuinely prioritizes customer satisfaction. He goes above and beyond to ensure your trip is smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable. I highly recommend booking your travel
    with him at least once — you won’t be disappointed!

    Tusharthakkar

    Himachal

    I enjoyed myself after compromising the money i paid to agents.

    Pathetic experience with agent from Mr. Aman joshi (easy go) he convinced me stating that end stage other agencies change hotel and i believed him. I asked him before a week that he has booked hotels we agreed. He said yes. But he was lying. End momement he called me that hotel at shimla is not avai
    lable. Also hotel at manali was not good. Alternate hotel provided for shimla was with lower budget than i paid for. He didnt listen and also Ms. Vanshika is useless. Not a single day she called and ask about hows journey going on. Rather in problem i called her and she said diplomatically ok i will check and update, but no update. Total waste of money. I am in dilemma to go with my upcoming tour after 15 days. Only driver Mr. Kishorilal was good remaining experience with family was 1 out of 10. Very bad service by agent of travel triangle as well as Easy Go agency. They share good reviews of their customers to trap people.

    Mohit's 4 days trip to Shimla

    I recently went on a wonderful tour to Manali Himachal with family, and it was an amazing experience! A big thank you to Raj from Ideal Tours Private Limited for being such a helpful and friendly advisor throughout the trip. He made sure everything was well-planned and smooth. Also, a special thank
    s to TravelTriangle for offering such a well-priced package. The team provided great support and guidance whenever needed, which made the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend their services for a memorable and budget-friendly holiday!
