Shimla Manali Tour Package from Delhi & Chandigarh
What is the Shimla Manali tour package by Pack The Bag Tours?
Pack The Bag Tours’ Shimla Manali tour package is a private 5-night, 6-day road trip from Delhi or Chandigarh: 2 nights in Shimla with Kufri, then 3 nights in Manali with Solang Valley, the Atal Tunnel and Hadimba Devi Temple. It costs ₹14,000 per person for 2 travellers, ₹12,500 for 4 and ₹11,650 for 6, with 3-star hotels, breakfast and dinner daily, and a private car with driver. GST at 5% is extra.
Not included: the Rohtang Pass permit and local cab, activities such as paragliding, and room heaters where hotels bill them. The season’s first snow fell at Rohtang Pass and around the Atal Tunnel on 6–7 October 2026. November brings clear skies, thin crowds and the best value; December brings the first snow at Solang Valley in most years, with Christmas and New Year priced separately. We run the trip with our own branch office in Tibetan Colony, Manali, and you book directly with us — no agents.

Shimla Manali in November and December 2026 — confirmed and expected
| What | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Our 2026–27 prices | Confirmed | ₹14,000 per person for 2, ₹12,500 for 4 and ₹11,650 for 6, before 5% GST. Not valid on long weekends, Christmas, New Year and festivals — ask us for those dates. |
| Weather now (8 October 2026) | Latest | Light snow fell at Rohtang Pass and the high peaks on 6 October and around the Atal Tunnel on 7 October, with rain in Manali. On 8 October Manali was about 2–10°C and Shimla clear, with a high near 19°C. Expect cold nights from here on. |
| November 2026 | Seasonal | Crisp and clear, with the thinnest crowds and best value of the season. Days are typically mild in Shimla and cool in Manali; nights in Manali go to freezing or below. Snow stays on the high slopes and passes. |
| December 2026 | Seasonal | Cold, festive and busiest from Christmas. The first snow usually reaches Solang Valley during December; Shimla and Kufri get it in some years, more often from late December. Snow is never guaranteed. |
| Atal Tunnel | Confirmed | Open all year and needs no Rohtang permit; the road closes for a time after heavy snow. |
| Rohtang Pass in November | Expected | Usually closes for the winter in November, after the first heavy snow; the date is set by the Kullu administration. Until then, a permit and local cab are needed — not included. |
| Rohtang on Tuesdays | Expected | Usually closed to tourist vehicles on Tuesdays for road maintenance. We check before your Manali days. |
| Christmas & New Year | Seasonal | 24 December to 1 January is peak week: hotel rates rise and traffic into Manali is heavy. Book by early November. |
| Winter heaters | Seasonal | Many Himachal hotels bill room heaters separately; we confirm heating in advance. |
When is the best time for a Shimla Manali trip, and when does it snow?
| Months | Weather | Snow | Best for |

| March – April | Cool and clear, blossom in the valleys | Higher slopes and Solang | Sightseeing, fewer crowds |
| May – June | Warm days, cool evenings | Rohtang opens; Sissu | Families and summer holidays; busiest |
| July – mid September | Monsoon; landslide risk | None | Rafting and paragliding are suspended |
| Late September – November | Crisp, clear, thin crowds | First falls at height | Couples, photography, best value |
| December | Cold and festive | Likely at Solang and Sissu | Snow and New Year (priced separately) |
