Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Settling In & Colonial Evening Stroll

Arrive in Shimla (by road/rail/air via nearest hub) and transfer to your hotel. After check-in and a short rest, enjoy an easy paced heritage walk on The Ridge and Mall Road, soaking in panoramic views of the Himalaya, colonial facades and local shops. Evening at leisure with dinner at the hotel or a recommended local restaurant.

Tip: Arrivals before late afternoon are recommended to make the most of the first evening.

Day2

Viceregal Lodge & Heritage Exploration

Today's focus is the grand Viceregal Lodge (Indian Institute of Advanced Study) — enjoy a guided visit to the museum, Victorian-era gardens and stately rooms. Continue with a heritage walk through Shimla's colonial quarter, visiting Lakkar Bazaar for handicrafts and Gaiety Theatre for a photo stop. Late afternoon, head to Jakhu Temple to catch sunset views and the friendly monkey population.

Important: Entry timings for Viceregal Lodge vary; please carry valid ID for museum entry.

Day3

Kufri Excursion — Nature Park & Adventure Options

After breakfast, take a scenic drive to Kufri (approx. 20–30 minutes). Visit the Himalayan Nature Park to observe local flora and fauna and walk up to Mahasu Peak for sweeping views. In winter, enjoy snow activities (subject to snow conditions); year-round options include pony rides, short nature trails and photography stops. Return to Shimla for dinner.

Note: Adventure activities (tobogganing, skiing, pony rides) are payable locally and depend on seasonal availability.

Day4

Mashobra & Naldehra — Orchards, Leisure & Scenic Walks

Today is a relaxed day exploring Mashobra and the nearby Naldehra area. Stroll through apple orchards, enjoy a picnic or attempt the gentle Naldehra Golf Course viewpoint walk. This day is designed for family time — easy walks, photography, and sampling local Himachali cuisine at a quaint café.

Tip: Carry a light jacket; mornings and evenings can be chilly even in summer.

Day5
