Himachal Hill Station

The Himachal Hill Station Tour is the only perfect way to escape the heat and the busy city. Starting from Howrah, this 8-day trip takes you to the three best hill stations: Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala. These places are the absolute best for cool weather, mountains with snow, green forests, and a peaceful feeling. Nothing is better.

Your big trip starts in Shimla. It is the true Queen of Hills. A long time ago, it was the summer capital for the British rulers. You must walk on the famous Mall Road. You must visit old churches and see the beautiful buildings from the British time. The toy train trip and the views of the pine trees make Shimla the most special place. Next, you will go to Manali. It is the adventure capital of India. That is a fact. Here, you must do fun things like paragliding, river rafting, and riding in a cable car. You must see the beautiful Solang Valley, visit old temples, and explore the wonderful Old Manali area with its nice cafes.

The last city is Dharamshala. This is the home of the Dalai Lama, and people call it Little Tibet. This holy town gives you true peace and calm. You must visit the Buddhist monasteries. You must enjoy the Tibetan way of life. And you must see the famous cricket stadium with its amazing mountain views. The Triund trek and Bhagsu Waterfall are the absolute best places for people who love nature.

The only time to take this tour is from March to June. The weather is perfect and flowers are everywhere. September to November is also the perfect time. The skies are always clear, and the views are beautiful. This whole package costs only ₹22,500 for each person if two people share a room. You will experience the magic of the Himalayas. You will get comfortable places to stay, great food, and you will make memories of mountain life that last forever
