Chase The Snow With A Trip To Shimla For A Mind Blowing Experience!

When thinking of hill stations,( even though this one has nothing to do with the alphabetical order) Shimla comes on top! Can’t deny the charm of this little hill station that is and has been bustling with tourists for ages now! While traveling was not as comfortable, convenient and not-an-option for everyone ‘ages’ ago, but today, you can just get a self drive car Delhi and plan a getaway to almost any destination around the city or around the country. And for Delhiites, we can’t deny that one of the top choices for vacation trips are the hills, hands-down!

The Best Season To Visit Shimla – Almost Any Season

While Shimla’s natural bounty and the inherited British infrastructure are a good enough reason to visit this city in almost any month, for those who despise the summers, this is a perfect getaway. For those of us who love the winters and would want to experience the wondrous and magical charm of snowfall, a trip to Shimla from November to February is a definite recommendation!

Going via Chandigarh 

Getting to Shimla via Chandigarh is one of the most favored car ride routes. Why, you ask? Because Chandigarh is one city that is bliss for any road trip traveler – in terms of offering the best of hospitality – a well planned clean city you must stop by (for its food, Punjabi culture and of course shopping!)

While getting to Shimla from Delhi takes roughly 08 to 09 hours. When you are planning a stop for refreshing from the self-drive car journey, stop at Chandigarh which falls in the route from Delhi to Shimla. Once you cross Ambala, you are in Chandigarh and from there, Shimla is not far my friend! Take the NH 22 from Chandigarh towards Shimla. The route from Delhi to Chandigarh is dotted with dhabas that offer great food and rest points.

What’s the best in winters in Shimla 

January to the first week of February or so, you will find it snowing in Shimla to amplify the beauty of this place. If you intend to actually chase the snow, you may also go a bit higher on the hilly terrain, probably to Rohtang.

Shimla’s winter carnival offers some amazing activities like skiing, paragliding, heli-skiing so you can play in the snow to your heart’s content. The best remedy in Shimla is to take long walks on those roads filled with trees and great views of the hills. If you’re still looking for more snow, then you can take a drive to Kufri and come back to Shimla in a few hours. What else? Go shopping at the Mall road or Lakkar Bazar and get a souvenir for your friends who missed out on your trip to the queen of the hills!

A road trip from Delhi to Shimla is a traveler’s paradise! Unlike the last time you ditched your friends on a trip to the hills, make it actually happen this new year. Get a self-drive car, pick up your gang and head to the hills. Make that happen with Zoomcar!
