The more adventurous way is to book yourself a cab and make the trip to Shimla first as the trip is just a 3-hour journey from the plains of Punjab to the hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh of which Shimla is the capital city. Book yourself into any of the many hotels at Shimla as it is a very popular tourist destination in North India. One of the most alluring attractions happens to be the Mall Road or the Ridge where you can go for a stroll and see the majestic splendor of this hill station in all its pristine glory from an age gone by. After all, Shimla used to the summer capital for British India. You can also opt for trekking trips in the lower reaches of the Himalayas and if you happen to be more adventurous also go in for camping for a night or two beneath the star-spangled clear skies and live it up! 

Once you are done with Shimla, you can take the cab for an 8 hour trip up the Himalayas to Manali. Manali is a far less crowded and unspoiled destination as compared to Shimla. If you are traveling during the winter season you would also stand a good chance to experience mild to heavy snowfall adding to the magical nature of the Rohtang pass in Manali. Playing with snowballs and experiencing the wintry chill has its own charm which can never be matched by less pristine places like the modern Indian cities that are teeming with people!

Manali has its own set of charms to keep you captivated around the year. If you are traveling in the summer you can go paragliding over the Solang Valley and get a first-hand experience of how a bird must be feeling like soaring down from the heights to the valley. An unforgettable experience for you and your family indeed. There are also quite a few trekking places that you can wander to and enjoy being one with nature as you explore all that Manali has to offer to tourists both from within India and abroad as well.

At Manali, you can go to Bhrigu lake which is splendid to gaze at as it is nestled high up surrounded by the Himalayas from all sides. In the evening you can stroll on Manali’s own Mall road and savor the rich culinary treats and also by souvenirs to your heart’s content. Your memories of Shimla and Manali will last you a lifetime and if you happen to be in the vicinity of Delhi may even beckon you every now and then as a quick relaxing getaway.
