Chandigarh to Shimla Kufri Narkanda by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Chandigarh to Shimla-Kufri-Narkanda tempo traveller circuit explores the best of the Shimla ridge and beyond. Start with the classic Chandigarh-Shimla drive on NH5, climbing through 800+ curves past Kalka, Barog tunnel, and Solan. Shimla's Mall Road, Christ Church, and the Ridge offer colonial-era charm. Continue 16 km to Kufri, a small hill station at 2,622 meters famous for its potato festival, yak rides, and apple orchards. The highlight is pushing further 64 km on the Hindustan-Tibet Road (NH5) to Narkanda at 2,708 meters — a hidden gem with spectacular views of the Himalayan snow range, Hatu Peak (3,400 m), and Asia's oldest skiing slope. The Narkanda apple belt produces some of India's finest apples, and the Hatu Temple atop the peak is wrapped in mystical fog most mornings. Groups love this circuit because each stop gains altitude and offers a dramatically different experience. The road from Kufri to Narkanda through Theog and Matiana passes through dense forests and terraced farms.

In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Chandigarh to Shimla Kufri Narkanda costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 200 km and about 5-7 hours (full circuit 2-3 days recommended) 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.
