Why families book this tour with us
The complete Himachal in one journey — this 8-day grand circuit from Amritsar covers all four crown jewels: colonial Dalhousie with Khajjiar, spiritual Dharamshala–McLeodganj, the adventure valley of Manali, and the Queen of Hills, Shimla. 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 to visit
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.
