Arrival & Colonial Welcome in Shimla
Arrive at Shimla (Jaipur/Chandigarh to Shimla transfer or Kalka toy-train arrival) and transfer to your heritage hotel. Enjoy a warm welcome drink and a short orientation. Spend the afternoon settling in and exploring the hotel's colonial architecture and gardens. In the evening take a gentle stroll to The Ridge and Mall Road for leisure shopping and an introduction to Shimla's historic charm.
Overnight at a luxury heritage hotel in Shimla.
Kufri Excursion & Himalayan Views
After breakfast, take a scenic drive to Kufri (approx. 20–30 minutes). Visit the Himalayan Nature Park and enjoy panoramic views of the snow-capped ranges from the Kufri viewpoints. Options include short horse rides or a visit to the small amusement area — family-friendly and easily accessible.
Return to Shimla for an evening high tea at a heritage café and leisure time at the hotel.
Tip: Carry a light jacket — temperatures at Kufri are cooler and windier.
Shimla Heritage Walk & Viceregal Lodge
Begin the day with a guided heritage walk through Shimla's colonial quarter. Visit landmarks including the Viceregal Lodge (Indian Institute of Advanced Study), the Christ Church, and historic colonial bungalows. Explore the Lodge's manicured lawns and stately interiors (subject to visiting hours).
Afternoon at leisure — enjoy optional activities such as a photography walk or a family picnic in the pine-clad slopes.
Important: Viceregal Lodge may have restricted access on certain days; alternative visits will be arranged if required.
Mashobra & Naldehra Countryside Retreat
Drive to the serene valleys of Mashobra and Naldehra (approx. 30–45 minutes). Enjoy a leisurely nature walk under pine canopies and visit the famed Naldehra Golf Course for photos and light recreation. This day is planned as a gentle countryside retreat — ideal for families and those seeking calm outdoor time.
Return to Shimla for an evening spa session or in-hotel leisure activities.
Tip: Great day for kids — open spaces and easy trails.
Leisure Day: Spa, Heritage High Tea & Optional Toy Train
A relaxed day to enjoy hotel amenities: indulge in a spa treatment, join a colonial-era high tea, or shop for local handicrafts on Mall Road. For guests who prefer an excursion, an optional half-day ride on the Kalka–Shimla toy train (subject to availability and advance booking) can be arranged — a nostalgic journey through tunnels and viaducts.
Evening: Farewell dinner with a curated Himachali tasting menu at your hotel.
Note: Toy train seats must be booked in advance; inform us if you'd like this option.
Departure from Shimla
After breakfast, check out from your heritage hotel and transfer to your onward connection (Chandigarh/Delhi by road or Kalka by rail). Depending on your flight/train schedule, enjoy a last stroll on The Ridge or purchase final souvenirs.
We recommend scheduling return travel with sufficient buffer time given mountain road conditions.

Recent Himachal Reviews
Himachal Package Worth Every Rupee We Paid
Honestly, I was skeptical about paying upfront without meeting anyone in person, but TourGrids gave me zero reason to regret it. Me and my wife did a 6-night Himachal trip — Shimla, Kullu, Manali — and everything was pre-arranged. Hotels were proper good, both centrally located. Cab driver was punctual and knew the routes well. Breakfast was included at every property, which we didn't fully appreciate until we saw what others were spending on food. I'd done my own research before calling them, and their package came out cheaper with more inclusions. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. The coordinator stayed reachable throughout. Solid experience from start to finish.
First Trip Booked Blind, Nothing Went Wrong
I had never trusted a travel company with a full trip before — always booked everything myself. But for our Himachal trip, my wife and I decided to just hand it over and see. Honestly, the experience was better than I expected. Before booking, I had multiple calls with the team and they answered every question without any sales pressure. The itinerary felt like it was actually built for us, not copy-pasted. Hotels were proper good, cabs showed up on time, and there were no hidden charges when we settled the final amount. Our coordinator was reachable throughout — even on the day we got stuck near Rohtang. That kind of availability is what actually builds trust.
Himachal Ran Smoothly Because Rohit Never Disappeared
We were a couple of days into Himachal when our cab driver called in sick and I had no idea what to do. One WhatsApp message to Rohit — our assigned coordinator — and he had a replacement cab confirmed within the hour. No drama, no waiting. Honestly, that one moment told me everything about how TourGrids works. Before the trip, Rohit had already been very responsive over calls, helped us tweak the itinerary twice, and was upfront about costs — no hidden charges at checkout. Hotels were proper good, especially the one in Manali. My wife was skeptical about booking through an agency but she was the first to say we should use them again.
Coordinator Never Left Us Guessing in Himachal
We were four friends doing Himachal for the first time — Kasol, Manali, the whole stretch — and honestly none of us had the bandwidth to plan it ourselves. From the first WhatsApp conversation, our coordinator Priya was genuinely involved. Not just replying fast, but actually thinking through what would work for our group. When one hotel had a last-minute issue near Manali, she had an alternative sorted before we even had time to panic. Every cab showed up on time, the itinerary had room to breathe, and there were no surprise charges at checkout. Felt like having someone in our corner the entire trip.
WhatsApp Replies Faster Than My Own Family
Booked a Himachal trip with my wife through TourGrids after a long back-and-forth on WhatsApp — honestly that conversation itself gave me confidence. They assigned a coordinator named Rahul, and this guy was genuinely available. Not just during office hours — even when our cab was running late near Manali, one message and he was on it, called the driver directly and kept us updated. Hotels were proper good, nothing felt randomly picked. The itinerary matched exactly what we discussed, no surprise changes on ground. Pricing was transparent from the start, no hidden charges showed up at checkout. First time my wife actually enjoyed the planning phase instead of stressing about it.
Himachal Package Cheaper Than My Own Spreadsheet
I had spent almost two weeks trying to price out Himachal independently — hotels, cabs, flights, everything separately. Then a friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly the quote they gave for the same itinerary came out lower than what I had calculated on my own. Traveled with my wife, and the package covered valley-view hotels, all intercity transport, and even breakfast daily. No hidden charges at checkout, which I was genuinely worried about. The coordinator Rohit was available on WhatsApp throughout, sorted our check-in timing on a call when our flight got delayed. Hotels were proper good — not budget, not over the top, just right. The value for what we paid was hard to argue with.
