In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Delhi to Shimla costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 350 km and about 7-8 hours 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.
The journey
