Route Overview

The Delhi to Shimla-Manali-Kullu-Kasol circuit is North India's ultimate hill station road trip by tempo traveller, covering approximately 700 km across Himachal Pradesh's finest destinations. Day one takes you on NH44 to Chandigarh, then climbing NH5 through the Shivalik range to Shimla, the colonial-era Queen of Hills, where Mall Road, Christ Church, and Jakhu Temple await. From Shimla, the route descends to Mandi via NH5 and NH3, winding through apple orchards around Narkanda and crossing the Beas River at Pandoh. Kullu Valley unfolds with paragliding at Solang and shawl markets in Kullu town. Manali offers Hadimba Temple, Old Manali cafes, and snow-point excursions to Rohtang or Atal Tunnel. The return leg dips into Parvati Valley on NH305 to Kasol, where Israeli cafes, Manikaran hot springs, and riverside camping create a completely different vibe. Groups typically spend two nights each in Shimla, Manali, and one night in Kasol, making the tempo traveller's spacious seating essential for this extended circuit.

Road Conditions

NH44 Delhi-Chandigarh (excellent 6-lane), NH5 to Shimla (good mountain road, steep after Kalka), NH3 Shimla-Mandi (good but winding), NH21 Mandi-Manali (good, hairpin bends), NH305 to Kasol (narrow mountain road along Parvati River)

For groups of 8 or more, a 12 or 17-seater Tempo Traveller is almost always cheaper than two cars — and dramatically more comfortable on hill routes like Delhi to Manali where the road bends every 30 seconds.

Tempo Q&A

More about hiring a tempo traveller from Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol

What is the drive time Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol?
5-7 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total) for 700 km on NH44 Delhi-Chandigarh (excellent 6-lane), NH5 to Shimla (good mountain road, steep after Kalka), NH3 Shimla-Mandi (good but winding), NH21 Mandi-Manali (good, hairpin bends), NH305 to Kasol (narrow mountain road along Parvati River). Add half an hour for one proper stop. A 6 AM start out of Delhi is worth more than any shortcut, because the hour you save is at the congested end.
What time should we leave Delhi?
Between 5 and 6 AM, which clears Delhi before the build-up. On 700 km and 5-7 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total) the hour gained at the start is the hour you are not driving tired at the far end. Our drivers would rather start early than make it up later.
Can Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol be done in a single day?
700 km and 5-7 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total) is a long single day but a normal one with a chauffeur, because the driving fatigue is not yours. Where it becomes two days is if you want to see anything on the way; at this distance a sightseeing stop and a same-day arrival do not both fit. A driver kept overnight carries the ₹300 per night allowance.
Is the Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol road in good condition?
NH44 Delhi-Chandigarh (excellent 6-lane), NH5 to Shimla (good mountain road, steep after Kalka), NH3 Shimla-Mandi (good but winding), NH21 Mandi-Manali (good, hairpin bends), NH305 to Kasol (narrow mountain road along Parvati River). 700 km and 5-7 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total) on that. Surfaces change between visits and a page cannot know what happened last month, so the driver tells you on the day if something has — we would rather do that than print a confident sentence that has gone stale.
Where can we break the Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol journey?
Murthal (breakfast dhabas), Chandigarh (rest stop), Shimla (2 nights), Mandi (lunch on Beas River) and Kullu (shawl market), among others. The useful halfway mark is around 350 km. Tell the driver which of those you actually want to stop at and the day gets planned around it rather than around the clock.
Is there a time of year to avoid for Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol?
March to June (spring blooms and clear skies), September to November (post-monsoon clarity). That is about the destination rather than the road being shut — where a route genuinely closes we say so. For the journey itself an early start is worth more than any choice of month.
Is Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol worth doing by road?
The Delhi to Shimla-Manali-Kullu-Kasol circuit is North India's ultimate hill station road trip by tempo traveller, covering approximately 700 km across Himachal Pradesh's finest destinations. Day one takes you on NH44 to Chandigarh, then climbing NH5 through the Shivalik range to Shimla, the colonial-era Queen of Hills, where Mall Road, Christ Church, and Jakhu Temple await. From Shimla, the route descends to Mandi … 700 km, 5-7 days circuit (14-16 hours driving total), door to door at both ends.
Can I get a GST invoice for Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol?
Yes. Mention it when you book and give us the GSTIN, and a tax invoice is issued against the booking. Account customers can have invoices consolidated monthly rather than one per trip. A printed receipt is given at the end of the journey in every case, GST or not.
What size tempo traveller do we need for Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol?
Count the luggage, not just the people. A group that fits a vehicle's seat count exactly does not fit it once everyone has a bag — which is why the published capacities give a range rather than a single number, and why the next size up is usually the right call for a long journey. The fare chart on this page lists every size we run with its per-km rate, and the rate is what the chart says rather than a figure quoted separately.
Is a one-way charter cheaper to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol?
No, and this is the one place the usual logic reverses. A chartered tempo traveller returns to base whether or not you are in it, so a one-way charter is billed as a return journey. There is no one-way discount to offer on it. For a genuine one-way where the group is small enough, a cab or an SUV is the cheaper product and we will say so.
Are there extras on top of the Delhi to Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Kasol fare?
Four things, all billed at actual rather than estimated: tolls, parking, any state permit the route needs, and the driver night allowance at ₹300 per night if the trip keeps the driver away overnight. Monument and park entry fees are separate too where a trip includes them. Everything else — fuel, the driver, AC, and the vehicle — is inside the quoted rate, and the quote is confirmed before the booking rather than at the end of the journey.
