Kufri — Shimla's Favourite Day Trip

Kufri in Different Seasons
Winter (December-February): snow, skiing and sledging. Summer (March-June): green hills and horse riding. Monsoon (July-September): green but often foggy. Autumn (October-November): clear views and comfortable temperatures.
Activities and Honest Costs
Horse riding: ₹300-600 per person. Yak ride: ₹200-300 per person. Snow activities in winter: ₹200-500. Himalayan Nature Park entry: ₹200. Fun World Amusement Park: ₹500-1,000. Skiing in winter, with equipment: ₹500-1,000.
Our Honest Kufri Advice
Kufri is genuinely beautiful, but it can disappoint if you're expecting the deep snow you'd see at Solang Valley in Manali. Kufri's snow depends heavily on the weather — December-February is best, but snow at the lower slopes isn't guaranteed every year. For a guaranteed snow experience, we'd steer you toward Manali and Solang Valley instead.
How to Reach Kufri from Shimla
Kufri is 16km from Shimla, about a 45-minute drive. It's included as a standard stop in our Shimla itineraries, so there's no need to arrange separate transport.

Not entirely — Kufri's snow depends heavily on the weather that season, and lower slopes aren't guaranteed even in December-February. For guaranteed snow, Solang Valley near Manali is the more reliable choice.
