Delhi-Shimla-Manali-Jaipur-Agra-Delhi trip
Hi,
I planned to visit Shimla stay for 2 days and then proceed to Manali be there for 3 days. From Manali if I have to go to Jaipur do I need to come back to Delhi and go from there or is there any other route available. Thanks Sri |

Hi Saajan,
From Delhi I reserved berth in HWH-Kalka mail and Kalka-shimla by shivalik deluxe. Rest is not yet planned. Planning to take bus from Shimla to Manali and then if I have to come back Delhi will take Volvo bus. Any suggestions. Thanks |

yes volvo bus will be a good way to travel the road s from delhi to manali are flat till chandigarh and then onward s it s mountain s but the road s are in great shape it s nh 1 and then nh 22
the road from manali to chandigarh shall be downhill and then from chandi garh to delhi good road s flat high speed travel and the volvo stip s at good places where u can answer nature s call and have snack s /lunch etc delhi jaipur is also good road fast travel one of the best in country enjoi ur rip post picture s and road travelkexpereince on ur return reards saajan |

You'd get snow if not in kufri then in narkanda,Near manali you'd get plenty of snow,
In Shimla,you can see the visceragal lodge,christ church,jakhoo temple,the mall and the ridge area.Kufri,naldehra etc. In manali you can see hadimba devi temple,jagatsukh,old manali,solang valley,plachhan,kothi,naggar etc. Buy a good travel guide like outlook traveller(100 holidays in hills) and you wouldnt require guides.

Shivalik deluxe?
Hi there shrikrishnad. Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is Shivalik deluxe?
 Is this a bus? I also have booked on the Kalka train but not sure how to get to Shimla from Kalka. Many thanks for your kind assistance. |

From Kalka you can either take the Himalayan Queen or take bus/taxi to Shimla.

There are Volvo buses from Chandigarh that have destination at Jaipur but I do not know which route they take.
There is a nice route via Ambala ~ Hisar ~ Churu ~ Jaipur which I took by bike, very nice roads, great ride. Chandigarh to Churu is about 8 hours. |
