One car, one trusted driver, zero repacking stress between bus changes.
This is the tour NRI families and once-a-year vacationers book — it covers everything worth seeing so nothing is left for 'next time'. The route is planned in the correct geographic order so you never backtrack, and each hill station gets a full sightseeing day, not a drive-past.
Best time: March to June and October–November. Avoid peak monsoon (late July–August) for the Kullu–Manali leg.

Amritsar Grand Himachal Tour — Dalhousie, Dharamshala, Manali & Shimla — your questions answered
What does the 8-day Grand Himachal tour cost from Amritsar?
From ₹32,000 for a sedan and ₹44,000 for an Innova Crysta — per vehicle for the full 8 days, including fuel, tolls, parking, driver allowance and taxes. Hotels are separate (bookable through us on request).
Can we add Kasol or the Atal Tunnel to this tour?
Yes — Kasol–Manikaran fits as a half-day from the Manali leg, and Atal Tunnel–Sissu as a Solang extension. Both are fixed-price add-ons; mention them while booking.
Is 8 days enough for four hill stations?
Yes, because the route is sequenced without backtracking and every station gets a dedicated sightseeing day. If you want a slower pace, a 9–10 day version costs proportionally more.
Do you provide Tempo Traveller for big family groups?
Yes — 12 and 17-seat Tempo Travellers with luggage carriers and hill-experienced drivers. Group pricing on request via call or WhatsApp.
