Our driver will pick you up from Chandigarh or Delhi and head towards Shimla, a scenic drive through the pine-covered hills. You will have time to freshen up on reaching your destination. Take a relaxed evening stroll around Mall Road and The Ridge, have some hot snacks, and watch the evenings come alive with lights in this quaint hill station. Overnight: Shimla

After breakfast, head to Kufri, where the kids can enjoy pony and yak rides while everyone soaks in wide Himalayan views. Stop at Fagu and Green Valley for lovely family photos, then visit Jakhoo Temple with its giant Hanuman statue towering over the town. Spend the evening shopping for wooden toys and souvenirs at Lakkar Bazaar. Overnight: Shimla

Leave from Sundernagar Lake and pass by Pandoh Dam and the Beas River on the way, with plenty of breaks for snacks, pictures, etc. In Kullu, visit a traditional shawl factory and (if you feel like it) go for a short river rafting. Drive to Manali, arrive there in the evening, and freshen up at the hotel, followed by a nice dinner with nice mountain views. Overnight: Manali

Today is the family favorite, as you drive to the snowy valleys of Sissu for snowman building, snowball fights, and photos by the waterfall. On the way back, stop at Solang Valley for the ropeway, paragliding, or ATV rides at your own pace. Return to the hotel in the evening, tired, happy, and ready for a cozy night in. Overnight: Manali

Start the morning at the wooden Hadimba Devi Temple, tucked inside a peaceful forest of tall deodar trees. Continue to Manu Temple, Van Vihar, and the natural hot springs of Vashisht, a perfect warm-up on a cool mountain day. Spend the evening in Old Manali and on Mall Road for cafés, shopping, and a relaxed farewell family dinner. Overnight: Manali

Enjoy one last breakfast with the mountains watching over you before checking out of the hotel. Our driver will take your family back to Chandigarh or drop you at the bus stand for your Volvo to Delhi. Head home with happy faces, full camera rolls, and memories the whole family will treasure.
