Discover the Best Places Near Shimla by Car

Shimla, the Queen of Hills and former summer capital of British India, is surrounded by some of Himachal Pradesh's most enchanting destinations. From the adventure town of Kufri just 15 km away to the apple orchards of Narkanda and the ancient town of Sarahan, Shimla is the perfect base for exploring the inner Himalayas.

The region offers everything from snow adventures and trekking to temple visits and wildlife encounters. The Hindustan-Tibet Road from Shimla leads through spectacular mountain scenery to destinations like Rampur, Sarahan, and eventually Kinnaur and Spiti.

Triveni Cabs provides reliable mountain transport from Shimla with drivers who specialise in Himachal's winding hill roads. Whether you are heading to Kufri for snow or Chail for peace, our vehicles are maintained for mountain conditions.

Pro Tips

Travel Tips for Road Trips from Shimla

01

Start Early

Leave Shimla by 5-6 AM for hill stations and long-distance destinations. This avoids city traffic and ensures you arrive with daylight.

02

Carry Essentials

Keep water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, medicines, and phone chargers handy. Our vehicles have charging ports but bring your own cable.

03

Check Weather

Hill station roads can be affected by rain and landslides (Jul-Sep). Plains destinations are best October to March. Summer means carry extra water.

04

Book in Advance

Weekend and holiday demand is high. Book your cab 2-3 days in advance for guaranteed availability, especially during festival seasons.

05

Plan Rest Stops

Our drivers know the best dhabas and rest stops on every route. 15-minute breaks every 2-3 hours keep the journey comfortable.

06

Keep Documents Ready

Carry valid ID proof for hotel check-ins and some destinations that require it (national parks, border areas). Original or Aadhaar card works.
