A classic long-weekend Shimla trip from Delhi by AC Volvo, soaking up the colonial hill-station charm of the former summer capital. It suits travellers who want an easy escape into the mountains without a complex circuit. The arc is relaxed and town-centred: settle into Shimla, take a day excursion to Kufri, and enjoy the Mall Road and Ridge at leisure. Terrain is the forested Lower Himalayan hills, with short drives to nearby viewpoints. Expect the Mall Road and the Ridge, a Kufri excursion with snow in December and January, Christ Church and Jakhoo Temple, an optional heritage Toy Train ride and plenty of cafe-hopping. The pace is gentle, leaving time to wander and relax. Comfortable much of the year; cool and sometimes snowy in winter, pleasant in summer when Delhi swelters. starting at INR 8,336 per person. Covers Shimla 3N.
Arrive in Shimla after the Volvo journey from Delhi and check in. Spend the evening strolling the famous Mall Road and the Ridge, taking in Christ Church and the colonial architecture, with a coffee at a heritage cafe.
Take a half-day trip to Kufri, around an hour away, for mountain views, pony rides and, in December and January, snow play. Return to Shimla for more time on the Mall Road and a walk up to the Jakhoo Temple with its valley views.
