Itinerary

Expand all

Day 1: Arrival in Delhi & Drive to Agra (The Mughal Capital)

Your adventure begins the moment you touch down in New Delhi. Rather than navigating the chaotic capital immediately, your private driver will whisk you away via the smooth Yamuna Expressway directly to Agra (approximately a 3.5 to 4-hour drive).

Upon arrival, check into your hotel and freshen up. In the late afternoon, head to Mehtab Bagh (the Moonlight Garden) located across the Yamuna River. This offers a stunning, crowd-free, sunset view of the Taj Mahal.

Day 2: The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, & Return to Delhi

Wake up before dawn to experience the highlight of your Taj Mahal visit: a sunrise tour. The morning light provides the best photography conditions, and the temperature is wonderfully cool. After spending two hours exploring the mausoleum and its intricate pietra dura inlays, return to your hotel for a hearty breakfast.

Next, explore the imposing Agra Fort, the primary residence of the Mughal emperors. By early afternoon, you will drive back to Delhi.

Overnight: Stay in Delhi

Day 3: Arrival in Shimla & Colonial Charm

As the sun rises, you will find yourself winding through the pine-clad hills of Himachal Pradesh. Arrive in Shimla by mid-day, check into your hillside resort, and take a few hours to rest and acclimatize to the 2,276-meter altitude.

In the evening, embark on a leisurely Shimla sightseeing tour. Walk along the famous Mall Road—strictly off-limits to vehicles—ensuring a peaceful stroll for families. Visit Scandal Point, the historic Gaiety Theatre, and the iconic yellow Christ Church located on The Ridge.

Day 4: Excursion to Kufri & Jakhoo Hill

After breakfast, take a short, 15-kilometre drive to Kufri, the winter sports capital of Shimla. Even in summer, Kufri offers stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges. You can hike or take a mule ride up to Mahasu Peak, the highest point in the area.

Return to Shimla in the afternoon to visit the Jakhoo Temple, dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The temple boasts a towering 108-foot statue that is visible from almost anywhere in Shimla.

Day 5: The Scenic Drive to Manali via Kullu Valley

Today features a long but incredibly scenic transit. The drive from Shimla to Manali takes roughly 7 to 8 hours, but the shifting landscapes make it an attraction in itself. You will descend into the Kullu Valley, known as the "Valley of the Gods."

The road hugs the emerald waters of the Beas River. Stop en route in Kullu to witness the crafting of world-famous Pashmina and Kullu shawls. If you are feeling adventurous, you can even partake in a brief river rafting session on the Beas. Arrive in Manali by evening and check into your hotel.

Day 6: Thrills in Solang Valley & Rohtang Pass

Get ready for your Manali adventure trip! Head to Solang Valley, a lush meadow surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Depending on the season, you can engage in paragliding, zorbing, or skiing.

If you have secured permits in advance (and if the roads are open, typically from May to October), continue your ascent to the mighty Rohtang Pass at 3,978 meters. The raw, barren beauty of the high Himalayas here is staggering. Alternatively, you can drive through the architectural marvel of the Atal Tunnel to visit the pristine Sissu village in Lahaul.

Day 7: Spiritual Heritage & Old Manali Vibes

Dedicate today to local Manali sightseeing. Start at the Hadimba Devi Temple, a striking wooden pagoda-style structure surrounded by towering Dhungri cedar forests. Next, visit the Vashisht Village, famous for its therapeutic natural hot springs and ancient temples.

Spend your afternoon wandering through Old Manali. This area is distinctly different from the bustling new town; it is a haven for backpackers and art lovers, characterized by narrow winding roads, vibrant street art, and eclectic cafes.

Day 8: Leisure Morning & Departure for Delhi

Enjoy a relaxed morning. Use this time for last-minute souvenir shopping on Manali's Mall Road. Pick up Tibetan handicrafts, local honey, and silver jewellery.

In the late afternoon, it is time to bid farewell to the mountains. You will board your comfortable overnight Volvo bus for the return journey to Delhi, taking with you a camera full of memories and a rejuvenated spirit.

Day 9: Arrival in Delhi & Onward Journey

You will arrive in Delhi early in the morning. Depending on your flight or train schedule, you can either head directly to the airport or use a few spare hours to squeeze in a quick Delhi Agra Shimla Manali itinerary wrap-up by visiting India Gate or Qutub Minar.

As your Shimla Manali Agra Tour Package 9 Days concludes, you will leave with a profound appreciation for India’s diverse beauty.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Shimla Manali Agra Tour Package 9 Days suitable for young children and the elderly?

Yes, absolutely. The itinerary relies on comfortable private cars and luxury buses. While the mountain roads are winding, the pace is relaxed. Families can easily skip strenuous activities like paragliding in favour of nature walks and sightseeing.

How do we travel between Agra, Shimla, and Manali?

Typically, travel from Delhi to Agra is via a private AC sedan or SUV. The long-distance journeys from Delhi to Shimla, and Manali back to Delhi, are best done via comfortable overnight AC Volvo sleeper buses. The transit between Shimla and Manali is done via a private hired car to allow for scenic stops.

Do I need a special permit to visit Rohtang Pass?

Yes, the Himachal Pradesh government strictly regulates the number of vehicles entering Rohtang Pass to preserve the local ecology. Permits must be applied for online in advance. Your tour operator or hotel can usually arrange this for you. Note that the pass is closed during heavy winter months (November to April).

Will I see snow during this 9-day trip?

If you travel between December and March, you are highly likely to experience snow in Shimla and Manali. If you travel in the summer months, you can still find snow at high-altitude points like Rohtang Pass, though the main towns will be green and pleasant.

      Verified Outstanding experience in both Varanasi and Agra!
We had an unforgettable journey through Varanasi and Agra thanks to our guide. At the Taj Mahal, their deep knowledge of Mughal architecture and history brought the monument to life, and they expertly guided us away from the heavy crowds to get the best views and photos. In Varanasi, they navigated the bustling alleys and ghats seamlessly, explaining the spiritual significance of the Ganga Aarti and morning boat ride with great care and respect. Punctual, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout. Highly recommended to anyone visiting North India!

     Verified Don’t just go to the Taj Mahal…EXPERIENCE it!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Incredible Day in Agra! Our experience with India Bon Voyage was truly unforgettable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Our day began with Jitendra picking us up from our hotel before sunrise so we could experience the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Seeing the Taj Mahal in that beautiful morning light was absolutely breathtaking. Afterward, he took us back to our hotel so we could relax and enjoy breakfast before picking us up again to continue our day. Jitendra was an incredible guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, personable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He answered every question we had and shared fascinating facts and stories that made the Taj Mahal come alive. He even pointed out some of the Taj Mahal’s amazing optical illusions and architectural details that we would have completely missed on our own. From there, we visited Agra Fort, the Baby Taj, and several really interesting local shops. One thing that really stood out to me was how attentive Jitendra was without ever being intrusive. When we wanted to wander around on our own, he stayed nearby in case we needed anything. That gave us the freedom to explore while still knowing we had someone looking out for us. Lunch at the beautiful five-star hotel was also fantastic and was such a wonderful addition to the day. But the perfect ending was still to come. At dusk, Jitendra took us to a beautiful viewing spot where we could watch the Taj Mahal as the changing light seemed to transform its color. It was absolutely magical and something I will never forget. Jitendra didn’t just show us the Taj Mahal—he helped us experience it. His knowledge, kindness, professionalism, humor, and genuine care made the entire day feel effortless and special. If you’re visiting Agra, do yourself a favor and book with India Bon Voyage. Having Jitendra as our guide made an already incredible place even more meaningful. We left with unforgettable memories, incredible photos, and a much deeper appreciation for the history and beauty of the Taj Mahal. India Bon Voyage and Jitendra deserve every one of these five stars! 🇮🇳❤️✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly, highly recommended!

     Verified TAJ MAHAL
We had a wonderful experience. Reading about Taj Mahal does not compare to being there and getting the information and the intricate details. Jitu from India Bonvoyage was a fantastic guide, gave us much information on the history. I loved my experience and the wonderful love story of Mughal Shah Jahn and Mumtaj Mahal!
