Your drop in Shimla

Driving up to Shimla
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 345 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 10 hrs 15 min in normal traffic. Leave early, take a breakfast stop on the way and you will reach by afternoon, before the evening rush. Carry a warm layer even in summer. With more than four people or heavy luggage, an SUV like the Maruti Ertiga or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on the climbs.
Which car should you choose?
For up to 4 passengers, the Maruti Dzire at ₹4,600 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹6,000), while the Innova Crysta (₹7,700) gives the smoothest ride over 345 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹9,500.
