Budget-SavingPro Tips
Travel in March-April for blooming rhododendrons and off-peak prices
Book couple-special rooms directly with hotels — often cheaper than OTAs
Shimla Mall Road cafes offer romantic ambiance without luxury hotel prices
Do a candlelight dinner at a local restaurant instead of hotel — saves ₹2,000-3,000
Old Manali cafes are the most romantic and affordable dining spots
Skip Rohtang if you have seen snow before — saves ₹1,100 (permit) + half day
Complete Guide to Shimla + Manali Trip Cost
The Shimla-Manali honeymoon circuit is India's most popular couple getaway — and for good reason. This 6-7 day journey covers colonial charm in Shimla, adventure in Manali, and some of the most scenic mountain roads in the Himalayas, all in one trip.
A Shimla-Manali honeymoon trip from Delhi costs ₹15,000-70,000 per couple depending on your romance and comfort quotient. Budget honeymooners can enjoy cozy rooms with valley views and candlelit dhaba dinners. Luxury couples can opt for heritage hotels in Shimla and premium resorts in Manali with spa packages.
The ideal route with Triveni Cabs is Delhi → Shimla (2 nights) → Manali (3 nights) → Delhi. The cab serves as your private chariot throughout — no haggling with local taxis, no carrying luggage in buses. At ₹11/km for the 900 km circuit, it is the most comfortable and romantic way to travel.
This honeymoon classic works best from March to June and September to November. Winter (December-February) adds a magical snow element but higher costs and road risks. Budget an extra ₹3,000-5,000 for romantic add-ons like couple spa sessions, candlelight dinners, and a Solang Valley snow experience.
