Introduction
For travellers starting from Rajkot, the package is more useful when the itinerary focuses on the main places instead of adding every possible stop. This approach keeps the trip simple for families.
Savera Tour and Travels plans this Shimla Manali tour package from Rajkot to cover Shimla, Kufri, Manali and Solang Valley with one dedicated transfer day.
Source City Travel Context
The western india connection is long. Finalise rooms, bags and meals before the quote. Keep the first road day realistic around actual arrival time.
Rajkot has flights to Delhi and long train routes, so groups normally plan a Delhi arrival before the road journey. After a long journey, a rest gap before the road leg helps children and parents enjoy the first day. For groups from Rajkot, the package starts with a pickup at Delhi or Chandigarh, and the exact point and time are fixed in the quotation. Many travellers ask for a Rajkot to Shimla Manali package, and the final route, hotel and vehicle are confirmed in the written quotation.
Which Himachal package suits you from Rajkot?
These pages cover different trips from Rajkot, so pick by how many days you have and how many hill stations you want.
| Package | Length | Covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manali only | 3 Nights / 4 Days | Manali, Solang Valley, Atal Tunnel side trips (Kasol optional) | first-time visitors who want one base and a short trip |
| Shimla and Manali (this page) | 5 Nights / 6 Days | Shimla, Kufri, Manali, Solang Valley | travellers who want two hill stations in one trip |
| Compare all Himachal packages | 3 to 10 days | Manali, Shimla, Kasol, Dharamshala, Dalhousie | travellers still deciding the destination |
For a short trip of about 4 days, Manali only keeps the pace relaxed. For about 6 days, add Shimla and Kufri to Manali.
Rajkot to Shimla Manali: Routes, Timing and Planning
Rajkot is served by Rajkot Airport (RAJ) and by Rajkot Junction for long-distance trains. From Rajkot flying is the sensible start; the road is long enough to eat into your holiday.
| Mode | From Rajkot | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Road | about 1,700 km to Manali via Chandigarh | a multi-day drive, so we do not recommend it as the way to start this trip |
| Rail | to Chandigarh, Kalka or Ambala | more than a day on the train; book early in the busy season |
| Air | RAJ to Chandigarh airport | about 2 hours in the air; direct or one-stop depending on the airline schedule |
How many days to keep
The package on this page runs 5 Nights / 6 Days from the pickup point. From Rajkot, add roughly 1 day for the journey to Manali, so plan about 7 days away from home in total.
When Rajkot travellers usually go
Diwali vacation (Oct-Nov) falls in prime season for Shimla Manali: clear mountain views, but hotels in Manali and Shimla book early; Summer vacation (May-Jun) falls in prime season for Shimla Manali: clear mountain views, but hotels in Manali and Shimla book early. The prime months for Shimla Manali overall are Apr-Jun and Oct.
Climate and packing from Rajkot
Coming from the dry heat of Rajkot, expect cooler evenings and quick weather changes; a fleece and a light rain jacket cover the main season, with heavier gear for winter. Rohtang and other high passes open only seasonally, so the exact sightseeing list depends on the travel month.
Pickup and return
The vehicle meets Rajkot travellers at Chandigarh or Delhi. Share your flight number or train PNR so the driver can track your arrival; the pickup time is then fixed in the quotation. For the return, plan the last night at a hotel with an early departure, because the drive from Manali back to Chandigarh takes most of a day.
Distances and travel times here are approximate planning figures; the exact schedule is confirmed in your quotation.
Package Overview
The route keeps the longer Shimla-to-Manali drive as its own day. When you enquire about a 5 nights 6 days Shimla Manali package from Rajkot, share the travel date early so the quote matches your plan. Ask for the written itinerary of a 5 nights 6 days Shimla Manali tour package from Rajkot before payment, so each day and each inclusion is clear.
Route / Travel Planning
Start the package only after the source journey is complete. The hill circuit should then move through Shimla, Kufri, the Manali transfer, local Manali and Solang. This makes hotel arrival and daily timing easier to manage.
Chandigarh is the easier start for the first hill day, while Delhi suits groups arriving by long-distance train or flight. A Shimla Kufri Manali tour from Rajkot is planned around pickup timing, luggage and the comfort of the slowest traveller. Savera Tour and Travels handles a Shimla Kufri Manali Solang Valley package from Rajkot with a written plan covering hotel, vehicle and sightseeing.
Shimla is usually about 3 to 4 hours from Chandigarh and 7 to 8 hours from Delhi, and the Shimla to Manali transfer is typically another 7 to 9 hours.
Detailed Day-wise Itinerary
Reach Shimla and complete hotel check-in, and keep only a short local walk for the evening. Keep dinner timing comfortable. Families should keep recovery time before the road package. Shimla lies roughly 3 to 4 hours from Chandigarh and 7 to 8 hours from Delhi, so start from the pickup point in the morning to reach in time for the hotel and a light evening.
Places Covered / Main Highlights
This transfer links the two hill stations and is best treated as a travel day with only light sightseeing.
A walking street for an easy evening, shopping and tea after the first hill drive.
The main Shimla-side excursion in this package.
Local Manali sightseeing is kept compact, with temples and market areas covered without a long drive.
Keep Solang as its own day so the group has time for views and any optional activity.
Who This Package Is Best For
This plan is a good fit for families, friends and pilgrimage groups. The route can be slowed down when the source journey has already been long.
- check_circleFamilies: Families with children can keep Kufri short and use Mall Road in the evening instead of extra stops. A Himachal family package from Rajkot focuses on easy hotel access, short drives and comfort for children and parents.
- check_circleCouples: Couples can use the evenings for Mall Road in Shimla and a slower walk in Manali.
- check_circleGroups and friends: Friends and business groups can share one comfortable vehicle for the long hill transfer.
- check_circleSenior citizens: Seniors can keep Kufri light and choose hotels with easy road access in both cities.
Vehicle Recommendation
Vehicle choice should start with passenger count and luggage. Late source arrival should not force a rushed first day. For two to four travellers, a car may be enough. Five to seven travellers can consider an Ertiga or Innova, while bigger groups should look at an Innova Crysta or a second vehicle.
The vehicle is AC, and the final choice among Volvo, sedan, Ertiga, Innova and Innova Crysta is confirmed in the quotation.
Hotel / Stay Planning
A convenient hotel can save unnecessary local driving during a short package.
Hotels close to the road and the sightseeing route save time and effort on tiring days. If you are looking for a family Himachal package from Rajkot with hotel and vehicle, Savera Tour and Travels can match rooms, route pace and vehicle to your group.
Shimla and Manali stays differ in feel, with colonial-era charm and steep lanes in Shimla and valley or river views in Manali, so tell us which kind of hotel suits your group in each town.
Practical Travel Tips
