5 Nights Punjab – Himachal
Itinerary –
Shimla-Chandigarh-Amritsar
6 Days Trip
Day 1 :
Delhi
On the first day of your arrival at Delhi Airport/ Station, you will be transferred to your stay. Delhi bridges two different worlds, New & Old Delhi, once a capital of rulers & emperors of Indian subcontinent. A labyrinth of havelis, formidable temples and mosques. In contrast, the New Delhi has spacious tree-lined avenues.
Delhi served as the seat of power for several empires for about a millennium. It was built & destroyed several times. A fascinating fact is that many rulers played a dual role in Delhi as they first came as destroyers, later they settled and made contributions to rebuild it.
If time permits, you can do a half day sightseeing of Old Delhi.
Day 2 :
Delhi-Shimla
Transfer to Shimla will take around 7 Hours. The British empire may have ceased to exist, but its echo still lingers in and around Shimla, a vacation destination at an elevation of 2205 m. It was once the favoured Summer Capital of the Britishers.

Shimla Sightseeing
Visit Kufri which is at 2501 m above the sea surface. Shimla is quite famous for its wide views and ski slopes. Walk towards the Mahasu Peak & Jakhoo Hill, at 2455 m; Shimla’s highest peak and a famous point for its views. The summit is crowned with a temple dedicated to Hanuman.
