If you are looking for a short but refreshing break to the hills where you just want to relax and unwind, then the Himachal 2 Nights / 3 Days Holiday Package is just the right holiday for you! Once you reach this “Queen of Hills,” Shimla, walk the streets with their colonial charm, get your eyes on panoramic Himalayan vistas, and head a few kilometers away to Kufri for some snow-capped fun and adventure. It will seem like a break from your busy schedule with cold nights on Mall Road and sunny, misty mornings in the mountains. Chetram Holidays has designed the optimal itinerary for those who are visiting Himachal and who want to see as much as possible in a short time without being rushed.
On arrival in Shimla, check into the hotel. Start your journey with a leisurely walk on Mall Road, amidst the fragrance of roasted peanuts and soft bakes. Visit The Ridge, which commands a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, where one gets to see Christ Church, believed to be among the oldest in North India. Afterward, walk towards the picturesque Scandal Point for some pleasant evening with beautiful narratives, making it one of the best sightseeing places in Shimla. See the sun go down behind the hills and shine over the colonial buildings. Start by sipping hot Himachali chai or some hot chocolate from a stall. In the evening come back to your hotel, have dinner, and rest for a thrilling next day.
After breakfast, drive to Kufri, 16 km from the city of Shimla, known for panoramic views and cool nature suitable for winter sports. During the chilly winter season, Kufri turns into a heaven of sorts in the snow-covered landscapes, where skiing, along with tobogganing and yak rides, takes place. Kufri Fun World is also a place for families and kids to enjoy the rides and other fun activities as well; it is one of the world's highest amusement parks. To explore things to do in Shimla for nature lovers, the place is across from Green Valley, a beautiful spot covered by thick pine and deodar forests, and Himalayan Nature Park, where one could witness the majestic view of snow leopards and Himalayan monals along with some other companions made from local wildlife neighborhoods. In the afternoon, come back to Shimla and visit Lakkar Bazaar, which is known for its lightweight wood souvenirs. Finally, end the evening lounging around in a café, which overlooks hills, sipping on piping hot chai or hot chocolate. Return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
You can have a leisurely breakfast on your last day and then visit other less touristy but beautiful places in Shimla. The highest point in Shimla, enjoy a trek to visit Jakhoo Temple, which is devoted to the lord Hanuman in Shimla. There are also games available on the road in which monkeys peep and snatch away snacks. Have a stroll through the Heritage Zone; your destination should have some of these buildings to keep reminding you about its colonial past, like the Viceregal Lodge and Gaiety Theatre. Guests seeking a quiet break can relax in the gardens at Annandale or go for a gentle nature walk.
Finally, later check out of your hotel with beautiful memories in the frozen air, crunching scenic views with the charm of Himachal hills.
