During our Visit to Kilu Manali, We decided to go via Shimla, the famous British hill retreat of India. There is a lot to do in Shimla, but I would recommend spending time inside the city only in off season, not in peak. ...

Is Shimla better or Manali?

The verdict is that Shimla is mainly a more crowded destination but all its attractions are quite close to the city center. On the other hand, Manali is mainly more for adventure seekers and best visited during winter season. So, if you're someone who enjoys adventure sports, Manali is a good choice.

How many days should I spend in Shimla?

6 days are enough for both the places. You can visit snow mountains and do river rafting, river crossing, paragliding & zorbing in Manali. Day1 : Arr Shimla (preferably by toy train from Kalka), Evening – Strolling around the Ridge. Day2 : Shimla – day trip to Kufri, Fagu, Naldehra, Chini.
