Manali & Shimla: A Himachal First Trip
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Himachal is the Himalaya at its friendliest — pine forests, apple orchards and hill towns built for slow days.
The pairing
Shimla for colonial charm — the Ridge, Mall Road, and the toy train if you can — then Manali for the Beas valley, old-town cafés and the Solang slopes.
Good to know
Roads are winding, so carry motion-sickness tablets and don't over-pack the days. Summer is green and mild; winter brings snow to Solang and the Atal Tunnel.
