Shimla, Manali and places around them

Hiiii

So finally I am going to north.. B) Hope now I will able to see snow fall which I always wished.. Going there in December.

So if anyone can suggest few exciting areas around them then please share as we have got too many days.. So we can cover up all exciting stuff.. :woohoo:

I would have enjoyed your company if only I was there in India during your visit. I am sure you will see lot of snow and snowfall during your visit to Shimla. If it is not snowing right in Shimla town you can go to Kufri a few kilometers from Shimla where you will find lot of snow. You will know all about snow in Shimla at tourist center located at 'The Ridge' at The Mall the main place in Shimla and do not forget to go to Kali Temple near that place. The best places to stay in Shimla are around Kali temple which are for all pockets. All the best for your trip.

I can suggest you 100s places beginning right from Chandigarh that will be on your way to Shimla, you have best of gardens on the way to Kalka the base station from where you will get the small train. If you only check on net you can find so many places like Solan on the way. But I will give you a whole list of places where you can go and see depending upon time available.

I have lot of time.. And Chandigarh is the last station from here as per our reservation. So I would love to know all places..Just suggest me the important one and I will also search on internet.

Sunil has already shared quite a few information here. You will most likely find snow in both Shimla and Manali.

If you enjoy shopping don't forget Mall road in Shimla. At Manali, Rohtang pass will possibly be closed, but there are many other areas to explore nearby.

If time permits, you may make a stopover at Solan - I believe one of the best and quieter scenic places in North - between Chandigarh and Shimla.

I spent lot of time in Shimla and Manali and there the winter is nice and from there Rohtang Pass and other areas where extreme coolness can be felt.

@Samir.. Thanks for the suggestion. About solan, well we have lots of time. So surely would love to visit it too.. And as you mentioned that Rohtang pass will be probably close, so do you think I can see snow at proper manali.

Time and month is not fixed for snow fall. If you are planing to go to Shimla or Manali than go there near by 25 December. If it is in you luck to enjoy snow fall you may be. I posted one article here about Himchal Pradesh read it for more informations. Good luck.

Yes snow fall some earlier in this year. In Rohtang pass you can see ice in every month. Now going to Rohtang pass is easy that earlier. You can go there from Manali. Regular bus services are avilable .

I will not suggest you to go to Rohtang Pass in December because there is no chance you could be able to enjoy it even if the journey is possible. Even it must be in (-)20 at this time of Nov, December will be even colder. I once went there in June with friends on motor bikes and that was a memorable journey. You will have to carry tent etc and food items if you want to stay overnight as there is no arrangement for all these things. Do not go there unless you confirm at Manali which is the nearest big point from Rohtang. I think roads must be having heavy snowfall even now. Remote chances for public transport to ply. You will see mostly army vehicles

@Anil - Rohtang pass is just one area of it which is usually covered with snow along with the roads and might be having snowfall around mid of December. Else, you would find snow almost all over Manali, especially if you move towards a little high areas and the top visit points.

Rohtang pass is usually closed starting mid-Nov or may be a little late until March or April the next year depending on the snowfall. In Dec, I believe it would be definitely closed. I visited in the 2nd week of March (2011) and it was closed until then.... That is the time when there is heavy snowfall and vehicle movement is quite impossible.

Rohtang pass is the highest peak in Manali and I don't think there is any hotel to stay right there... I am not very sure though.

I am not sure about your budget and staying plan, but if you are staying in Shimla or Manali, you can check for Hotel Landmark. You can check the current rates from their website or even call them for a deal. It was a great hotel in Shimla (I think they are also there in Manali) and I think I paid about 7500/- or so for 2 days/3 nights... The other back end of this hotel opens straight to Mall road.. the shopping area in Shimla. Hope all these info helps you! :)

They allow trekking for adventure loving people in groups but it is a tough job to walk that 25km+ stretch carrying tents and foods to stay there besides it is not possible for everyone who is not used to that kind of weather on that magnitude.

Hmm.. 25km with that kind of weather must be very tough job... I guess we will decide after seeing the weather..

Thanks you guys for sharing your experience. :)

This is very exciting. I have been to Shimla and Manali, many years back. You will enjoy it as December is peak time. You will see lots of apples in the trees everywhere. Rohtang pass is even more playful. You will love the snow of the pass. Have fun! :whistle: :woohoo:
