Amritsar to Shimla Manali Kasol by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Amritsar to Shimla, Manali, and Kasol tempo traveller circuit is the ultimate Himachal Pradesh road trip spanning approximately 600 km through some of India's most spectacular mountain landscapes. From Amritsar, travel via Chandigarh (230 km) to Shimla (115 km further), the former summer capital of British India. Walk along the Ridge, visit the Viceregal Lodge, and ride the heritage toy train. From Shimla, the route to Manali (250 km, 7-8 hours) via Mandi takes you through the Kullu Valley alongside the Beas River — stop at Kullu for shawl shopping and majestic valley views. Manali's Hadimba Temple, Solang Valley (paragliding, skiing), and Old Manali cafes are group favourites. The final leg to Kasol (80 km, 3-4 hours) descends through the Parvati Valley along the turquoise Parvati River to the hippie haven known as "Mini Israel." Manikaran Gurudwara with its natural hot springs, Chalal village walk, and riverside camping under the stars are unforgettable. Kasol's Israeli bakeries serve the best hummus and shakshuka this side of Tel Aviv.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Amritsar to Shimla Manali Kasol costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 600 km and about 5-7 days circuit of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
