Two bases across five days
Begin with two planned nights in Shimla. Day 1 brings the Ridge, Mall Road, Lakkar Bazaar and Christ Church into a central town walk, while Day 2 keeps Kufri, Jakhu Temple and Naldehra in the excursion plan.
The next day changes the base to Manali through Kullu Valley, with river scenery, a shawl stop and rafting only as a separately paid option. Day 4 combines the listed Manali temples and monastery with Solang Valley, before evening leisure on Mall Road. Day 5 is reserved for the Chandigarh return.

Fuel, normal tolls, parking charges and driver allowance for the confirmed package route.
Sightseeing and route stops specifically mentioned in the confirmed itinerary, subject to access, timing, weather and local regulations.

LN Tourism remains available to coordinate the scheduled journey, route changes and service-related assistance during the package.
Safety is part of the itinerary
From route timing and vehicle planning to weather awareness and traveller communication, LN Tourism aims to reduce avoidable risks before and during the journey. When conditions change, we prioritise responsible decisions over rushing to complete a sightseeing checklist.
More confidence on the road starts with knowing who is driving, where you're going and who you can reach.
Women travelling solo, with friends or with family can request clear pickup coordination, driver and vehicle details, sensible travel timing and an identified LN Tourism contact for the journey. Where possible, unnecessary late-night mountain transfers are avoided and operational changes are communicated before they affect the planned route.
Good family travel is less about rushing and more about knowing when to slow down.
For families travelling with children or senior members, route pace, walking requirements, early departures and overnight bases are discussed before confirmation so the package fits the group - not the other way around.
Comfort starts with honest planning.
Senior travellers and guests with mobility concerns are encouraged to share relevant requirements before booking so route difficulty, walking, stay locations and optional assistance can be planned realistically. We would rather adjust the itinerary before departure than push a traveller beyond a sensible pace during the journey.
The summit is optional. A safe return is not.
Weather, snow, visibility, daylight and individual fitness determine whether a trek or summit attempt can safely continue. Reaching every planned point is never more important than returning safely.
The actual route
Walk the Ridge, Mall Road and Lakkar Bazaar, with Christ Church in the same town visit. The experience is a pedestrian circuit from a permitted approach.
Day 2 pairs the Kufri hill setting with Naldehra and a Jakhu Temple visit. It is a full excursion with a return to Shimla.
The Shimla to Manali transfer includes the Kullu Valley corridor and a shawl-factory or showroom stop. Enjoy river scenery from safe permitted viewpoints along the drive.
Visit two distinct Manali-area temples, with a Tibetan monastery also listed for the day. The final approaches depend on parking and visitor instructions.
Solang is part of the Day 4 plan. Choose an optional paid activity only if an authorised operator, suitable conditions and the day’s timings allow.
Before you choose
At Chandigarh Railway Station or Chandigarh Airport, according to your quotation. They are alternatives, not two compulsory pickup stops.
Two planned nights in Shimla and two in Manali.
Hotel accommodation and meals apply only when included in your quotation.
A personal cab with an experienced driver is listed. Vehicle category, capacity, luggage space and permitted hotel access are confirmed in the quotation. Use follows the itinerary.
Do not expect door-to-door cab sightseeing through Shimla’s central pedestrian area. Use authorised parking and approaches, with walking and any permitted lift or local transport arranged separately as applicable.
The final approach depends on local access and mobility needs. Uphill walking or permitted local transport may be required. A ropeway ticket is extra; ordinary package cab inclusion does not confirm every approach service.
All three are retained. The supplied order involves backtracking, so an early start and an operator-validated plan are needed. Ridge leisure is subject to the excursion return time.
Snow is not guaranteed. Snow cover, snowfall and ski operations depend on the travel dates and local conditions. Winter photographs illustrate a season rather than a promise.
Solang Valley is retained in the Day 4 sightseeing plan, subject to road and weather conditions. The listed adventure activities are optional and separately paid. Confirm the package cab’s permitted reach and any snow-related local transport before departure.
No. Charges are excluded. It is an optional Day 3 activity only if arranged with an authorised operator and compatible with the transfer, weather, water conditions and participant requirements.
Paragliding, ropeway, ATV ride, skiing and zipline all cost extra. Availability, eligibility and suitable conditions must be checked for the selected operator and date.
No year-round availability is promised. Kullu has seasonal suspensions and activities can also stop because of weather, maintenance or local orders. Check the current order and operator before paying.
Consider spring/early summer or autumn for a general sightseeing enquiry, then check the actual dates and forecasts. Winter can involve snow and access disruption. Monsoon travel needs particular road and activity checks; no month guarantees clear views or safe operation.
Price is on request. Dates, guests, hotel and meal inclusion, vehicle category, tax basis and approved payment/cancellation/refund/change terms must be confirmed with the quotation.
Vehicle operation is limited to the itinerary. Ask for a quotation for extra sightseeing, route changes or additional use before confirming them.
