The Most-Searched Question About Shimla Manali
"How much does it cost?" is by far the most common question we get about a Shimla Manali trip. After 14 years, we can answer it properly — here is our complete, honest breakdown.
Quick answer: Budget starts at ₹8,999 per person, Premium (our most popular tier) is ₹9,999 per person, Luxury is ₹13,999 per person, and VIP is ₹24,999 per person. All rates are off-season, minimum 4 persons, and include hotels, cab, breakfast and sightseeing.
Detailed Cost Breakdown (5N/6D, 4 Persons)
Hotels: Budget hotels run ₹1,200-1,800 per night, Premium hotels ₹2,500-3,500 per night, and Luxury hotels ₹4,000-6,000 per night. Cab: an Innova for 5 days costs ₹15,000-18,000 total off-season, or ₹20,000-25,000 in peak season — split across 4 persons, that works out to roughly ₹3,750-6,250 per person for the cab alone.
Food: breakfast is included in every package at no extra cost, while lunch typically runs ₹150-400 per meal and dinner ₹200-500 per meal — a daily food estimate of ₹500-1,000 per person covers this comfortably. Activities (extra, paid on spot): Rohtang Pass ₹1,500-4,500 per person, Solang Valley activities ₹300-1,500 per person, and river rafting ₹600-1,000 per person.
Peak vs Off-Season Cost
Off-season pricing runs ₹8,999-24,999 per person across our four tiers. Peak season pricing (20 April-1 July and 20 December-5 January) adds roughly 30%, bringing the range to ₹11,699-32,499 per person. Booking in the shoulder months — especially October-November — is the simplest way to keep your trip cost down without compromising on the experience.
