Read our full story about Simla Manali best time to visit .

Not to do list –

1. We Book a car for the entire tour from Simla. Which is cast 11000 for 3 days. We bear one-night stay cost for the driver which is included with the car package but in Manali, there are lots of cars available.
2. When we come from Simla to Manali we go for Manikaran on the same journey, for the result we reach the too late at the night around 11 pm. Also the road for Manikarn(85 km) there is no light at all and the road condition is very dangerous.
3. Don’t buy any Saffron kind of things from local shoppers. Buy only from reputed shops.
4. Don’t rent dress for Rohtang pass earlier there are lots of locals ready to rent it at the spot.
5. Don’t go for Simla Zoo, it takes a lot of time.

Shimla Manali tour plan Idea: –

Kalka to Simla we convert local ticket to reserve ticket by help with the ticket checker.

**Again come to Kalka via Simla is not pretty good idea for us. So We add an extra trip @Chandigarh.
