What's Included and Excluded

Best Time to Visit Shimla

The sweet spot for this 3 nights 4 days circuit is March to June, when Shimla runs about 15 to 25 C by day and Kufri stays crisp, so sightseeing and the horse or yak ride are comfortable. Kufri weather is always a few degrees cooler and windier than the Mall Road, which is why the itinerary asks you to pack a warm layer even in summer. For snow, come December to February. For the full month-by-month picture, see the Himachal travel guide.
