Shimla Manali Family Package, 6 Days

Five nights in Himachal from Chandigarh: two in Shimla, three in Manali, with Kufri, Solang Valley and the Atal Tunnel to Sissu.

The classic Himachal loop for families in the summer holidays. The long Shimla to Manali drive gets a full day, and Manali has three nights so the snow trip has a spare day for weather.
