Shimla & Kufri Trip

5 (5 reviews)

Overview

A Shimla Kufri trip from Mumbai begins in the summer capital of British India and its neighbouring hill town of Kufri, which still wears its colonial heritage with effortless grace.

Shimla — the summer capital of British India — still wears its colonial heritage with effortless grace. From the iconic Mall Road lined with Tudor-style buildings to the historic Kalka–Shimla Toy Train, a UNESCO World Heritage experience, Shimla offers a nostalgic Himalayan escape like no other. Kufri, just 13 km away, adds snow adventures in winter and panoramic views of the snow-clad peaks of the Himalayas year-round.

The Kalka–Shimla Toy Train winds through 102 tunnels and over countless bridges, climbing more than 1,000 metres into the mountains — one of the most scenic rail journeys in India. Once in town, Shimla's colonial-era Mall Road and The Ridge offer sweeping views over the valley below, and the historic Christ Church and Jakhoo Temple sit just steps away.

A short drive from Shimla, Kufri sits at a higher altitude and stays cool through summer, with horse riding, yak rides, and a Himalayan Nature Park on its slopes. The Himachal Pradesh capital makes this a complete mountain break — easy to reach from Mumbai by a short flight to Chandigarh, with all transfers and activities arranged by the team.

Whether you come for the snow in winter, the rhododendron blooms of spring, or the clear mountain skies of summer, the Shimla Kufri trip from Mumbai delivers a classic Himalayan holiday without the effort of a long drive. Meals, hotel stay, the toy train, all sightseeing entries, and Kufri activities are included, and the itinerary is paced so there is time to simply enjoy the mountains.

Based in Himachal Pradesh, this easy 4-day trek is best attempted during June, October — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
