Driving Delhi to Shimla: what this corridor is like
Hill-trained drivers
Every driver on this corridor has logged the climb in all four seasons and carries chains from December to February.
Start before sunrise
Leaving by 5 AM clears the plains before traffic and puts you on the ghat section in daylight, which is the whole point of a road trip here.
Permits and stops handled
Rohtang, Atal Tunnel timings, Kufri parking, Kempty falls — the driver knows which need a permit and which are worth the detour.
What the Delhi to Shimla road is actually like
The road to Shimla is really two roads. The first is NH-44 out through Murthal, Panipat, Karnal and Ambala, a wide six-lane run where the main danger is complacency, with the Murthal dhabas the customary parantha stop and the toll gates behind you by Ambala. Then at Zirakpur you turn towards Pinjore and Kalka, cross into Himachal at Parwanoo, and there the hill road starts in earnest: NH-5 climbing through Dharampur towards Barog in a long chain of hairpins, with the old railway tunnel near the road. Barog is the halt our drivers swear by, for tea and the view, before Solan, Kandaghat and the final pine-lined climb into the town. From December to February there is snow around Kufri and black ice on the shaded bends in the early morning, so we start after eight rather than before. From July to September the Solan section throws landslides and closures. In May and June the whole Kalka road jams on weekends, and coming down we use low gear the entire way so the brakes never overheat.
