Day by Day itineraryDay 1: Hyderabad to Shimla (1901 km.)Board a flight or train to Delhi from Hyderabad. We would pick you up at Delhi Airport or railway station, and thus begins the Kullu Manali tour package from Hyderabad. The first destination of the Manali tour package would be Shimla, and it takes approximately 8 hours to reach the state capital of Himachal Pradesh from Delhi.
Shimla has been thriving as a hill-station since the days of the British Raj. Dubbed the “The Queen of Hills”, Shimla is home to iconic examples of British architecture. With the stunning Himalayas as the backdrop and pleasant weather throughout the year, Shimla’s age-oldcharm never seems to fade.
Shimla might be the Himachal Pradesh destination with maximum fanfare all over India and the world, but there are plenty of notable attractions in the vicinity as well.
Kufri, a small hill-station, is one of those attractions. Separated from Shimla by 13 km., Kufri’s prime tourist hotspots include Chini Bunglow, Himalayan Wildlife Zoo, Kufri Fun World, and Mahasu Peak.
Another hill-station named Chail is not too far from Shimla either. Located 44 km. from the state capital, Chail is noted for being home to the world’s highest cricket ground, which is situated 2250 m. above sea level. Other Chail attractions include the Chail Gurudwara, Chail Palace, and Chail Gurudwara.
Naldehra is the day’s next stop, and its focal point of interest is the golf course, which provides ample golfing opportunities to both enthusiasts and amateurs.
Head back to your Shimla hotel and enjoy the rest of the evening there.
Manali and the nearby town of Kullu, located 40 km. away from the former, offer distinctive cultures to experience, apart from the spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains. Ancient temples and Buddhist monasteries are in abundance in both towns, and brilliantly showcase the rich religious history of the region.
The 7 hour journey from Shimla to Manali may seem tedious and time consuming initially, but look outside your car window, and the captivating Himalayan roads and scenery seem to make the Shimla Manali tour quite worthwhile. While you are on your way to Manali, it is recommended to visit the Gurdwara Manikaran Sahib. This iconic Gurdwara is home to a natural hot spring, whose waters are known to carry medicinal benefits. Head to Manali and spend the rest of the evening at the hotel.
Do you like adventure sports? The thrill of activities like zorbing, parachuting, paragliding and skiing is experienced best at Solang Valley, located a mere 12 km. from Manali. After a tour of Solang Valley comes the most exciting part of the Kullu Manali tour package from Hyderabad, a trip to Rohtang Pass.
Located 51 km. from Manali, the Rohtang Pass is situated 3978 m. above sea level, and once played a key part in facilitating trade between Manali and the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys. No Manali tour package is complete without a trip to this high altitude pass.
Stay overnight at Manali. The next day marks the penultimate day in the Kullu Manali tour package from Hyderabad.
Special Travel Tips To Visit Rohtang Pass
- June-October marks the best period for visiting Rohtang Pass, as it mostly remains closed during other months of the year.
- In order to combat the possible effects of altitude sickness, it is recommended to carry appropriate medication.
- Carrying jackets, shoes, and thermal wear is vital in order for a comfortable tour of Rohtang Pass.
- It is best to leave for Rohtang Pass as early in the day as possible. Traffic jams are a common nuisance during the day.
Day 5: Kullu Manali Sightseeing Manali and the nearby town of Kullu, located 40 km. away from the former, offer distinctive cultures to experience, apart from the spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains.

Day 6 marks the final lap of the Kullu Manali tour package from Hyderabad, and it starts with a journey to Chandigarh, capital of both Haryana and Punjab. The well-planned city of Chandigarh comes with its fair share of the familiar city hustle-and-bustle, but its unique culture coupled with an abundance of greenery throughout the city makes it a much treasured destination in North India. After a short rest at the hotel, get ready for a tour of Chandigarh.
