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.

Ganesh's 2 days trip to Shimla

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Travel on ease during our Corporate trip to Nainitaal and Jim Corbett. From the moment we started to the day we departed, everything was seamlessly organized and thoughtfully executed. One of the standout aspects was the dedicated WhatsApp group they created for our trip. It served as a real-time support system, with prompt responses and proactive guidance throughout. Each agent and driver we interacted with was not only professional but also incredibly caring and friendly, making us feel safe and well looked after. The itinerary was perfectly curated, and the facilities they booked were top-notch—comfortable, clean, and ideally located. Whether it was pickups by 40 seater Volvo for our group, local transfers, or sightseeing, everything ran like clockwork. We didn’t face a single issue during the entire 4-days journey, which is a testament to their meticulous planning and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel on ease to anyone looking to plan a stress-free, memorable vacation. Their attention to detail and personalized service truly enhanced our travel experience.

The attention to detail and smooth coordination made the trip genuinely unforgettable.

Rahul A Bangalore

Dinessh's 8 days trip to Shimla

Positive 1. Calm Driver 2. Rooms are good but could have been better 3. On call support - friendly staff 4. Dinner and breakfast was good Could be better 1. The price was higher than other providers they gave better rooms as well 2. No honeymoon inclusions were made but charged 3. Rohtang pass was 500 online but it charged 2000+ 4. The schedule given was not followed properly 5. Rooms were very far from the city, better rooms were there at the same price 6. The driver deviated from the agenda and took us to a potato research farm in Shimla which we find useless 7. Payment at the hotel and to the driver was very new, rather than taken care earlier
