Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Delhi to Shimla | Mall Road | Christ Church

7-hour drive from Delhi or 3 hours from Chandigarh through pine-covered hills. Evening walk on Mall Road with colonial buildings and mountain panoramas. Visit Christ Church, one of North India's oldest, beautifully lit at dusk. Dinner at hotel with Himachali dham. Overnight Shimla.

πŸ’‘ Tip: The Kalka to Shimla UNESCO Heritage toy train is magical - book 2 to 3 days ahead if you want to take it.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Jakhu Temple monkeys will grab bags, sunglasses, and anything loose - keep everything zipped.
Day 3

Shimla to Kasol | Kullu Valley Drive | Parvati River

5-hour drive through the Kullu Valley along the Beas River. Stop at a Kullu shawl factory to watch weavers create famous geometric-patterned woollen shawls. Arrive in Kasol on the banks of the Parvati River, full of riverside cafes, pine trees, and a relaxed mountain vibe. Overnight Kasol.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Kasol has a strong backpacker culture - you will find excellent falafel, hummus, and shakshuka at most cafes.
Day 4

Kheerganga Trek | Natural Hot Springs at Summit

Full day 14-km moderate trek through dense forest and waterfalls to a high-altitude meadow at 2950 metres. Simple dhabas at Nakthan Village midway for chai, Maggi, and paranthas. The reward at the summit is a natural geothermal hot spring. Trek down by evening. Overnight Kasol.
