5 Days Shimla & Chandigarh: The Full Picture
Shimla was the summer capital of British India, and its colonial heritage lingers in the Mall Road, the Ridge, the mock-Tudor buildings and the cool pine-scented air. Chandigarh, by contrast, is India's first planned city, green, orderly and modern, designed by Le Corbusier. Together they make an easy, scenic Himalayan-foothills break.
This 5 day Shimla and Chandigarh package from Malaysia is private throughout, with your own vehicle and driver guide. You stroll the famous Mall Road, ride the scenic Kalka-Shimla toy train, and explore Chandigarh's gardens and modernist landmarks, a relaxed introduction to the hills of Himachal.
