Delhi to Shimla

Delhi to Shimla

The journey from Delhi to Shimla covers approximately 340 kilometers and typically takes around 7-9 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Starting from Delhi, you take NH44, which offers a seamless drive through Sonipat, Panipat, and Karnal, with wide highways and numerous dhabas serving delicious North Indian food. As you pass Kurukshetra and Ambala, the urban landscape begins to give way to greener surroundings. The route then merges onto NH5, leading towards Kalka, the gateway to the hills.

From Kalka, the drive transforms into a scenic ascent through winding mountain roads surrounded by pine forests and charming hillside villages. As you approach Shimla, the air grows cooler, and the sight of terraced fields and snow-capped peaks makes for a breathtaking welcome. Along the way, popular stopovers like Timber Trail in Parwanoo and the small towns of Solan and Dharampur offer opportunities to relax and soak in the serene beauty of the region. The final stretch to Shimla, with its colonial-era charm and panoramic views of the Himalayas, promises a delightful end to the journey.
