Shimla Tour Package From Mumbai 3 Days & 2 Nights

How to Reach Shimla from Mumbai

There is no direct flight or train from Mumbai to Shimla. The fastest way is to fly to Chandigarh, the nearest airport, and drive the last stretch to Shimla. The flight takes about 2 hours 15 minutes, and the road covers roughly 113 kilometres in three and a half to four hours through the pine hills. If you would rather arrive by rail for part of the way, the nearest broad-gauge railhead is Kalka, from where the narrow-gauge Kalka to Shimla toy train (a UNESCO World Heritage line) winds up to the town.

Tip: book the Chandigarh flight leg early for the best fare, and leave a comfortable buffer between landing and the drive up, since the hill road can be slow in peak season.

Your 3-Day Shimla Itinerary from Mumbai

Day 1: Arrival in Shimla

Your package begins the moment you reach Shimla. After the drive up from Chandigarh, our representative meets you at the arrival point and transfers you to your hotel. Check in, take a couple of hours to settle in, then step out for an easy first evening on Mall Road if you still have energy after the journey. Dinner is served at the hotel, and the rest of the night is yours to rest before the sightseeing days ahead. (Meals: dinner)

Day 2: Shimla Local Sightseeing

After breakfast you set out for a full day around Shimla. The route takes in the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (the former Viceregal Lodge), Sankat Mochan Temple, Kali Bari Temple, and the neo-Gothic Christ Church on The Ridge, one of the most photographed buildings in the hills. You also get time on Mall Road and through Lakkar Bazar and Lower Bazar for shopping, wooden crafts and hot street food. The evening is free to walk The Ridge and Scandal Point before heading back to the hotel for the night. (Meals: breakfast)

Day 3: Kufri Sightseeing and Departure

After breakfast you drive out to Kufri, about 16 kilometres from Shimla at around 2,720 metres, along a road that climbs past wide valley views. In Kufri, families can visit the Himalayan Nature Park with its mini zoo, the Fun World amusement park and Mahasu Peak, and stop at the Green Valley viewpoint on the way, a thickly forested stretch that is a favourite for photos. After Kufri you transfer back for your onward journey to Mumbai, carrying the memories of your trip. (Meals: breakfast)

Best Time to Visit Shimla from Mumbai

March to June is the popular window from Mumbai. Days are pleasant, roughly 15 to 30 degrees, ideal for sightseeing and a break from the coastal heat. December and January bring snow to Kufri and the higher points, so pack proper woollens and expect the odd road delay. July to September is the monsoon: greener, cheaper, but with a chance of landslides on the hill roads, so keep the plan flexible.

What's Included, Exclusions and Cancellation Policy

Cancellation and refund terms are confirmed in writing on your quote before you pay, since the package can be customised and the hotel and transport are booked in your name. Free-cancellation options are available on select Shimla packages when you book early. Ask your trip planner for the exact window that applies to your dates.

Travel Tips for a Mumbai Family Trip to Shimla

Coming from sea level, give yourself the first evening to ease into Shimla's altitude of about 2,200 metres before a full day out. Carry light woollens even in summer, because evenings on The Ridge turn cool. If you are travelling with children, the Kufri day is the highlight, so keep it unhurried and start early. Keep some cash handy for entry tickets and the small Kufri rides, and note that the mobile network is reliable in Shimla town but patchy near Green Valley and Mahasu Peak.
