Shimla – Manali Honeymoon Package

Shimla – Manali Honeymoon Package

Where Snowflakes, Silence, and Love Come Together

🌸A Honeymoon Where Every Turn is a Love Story

Some places are made for photographs. Others — for poems, promises, and soft whispers under the stars. Shimla and Manali, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, are not just destinations. They are chapters of romance written in snow, cedar-scented air, and long winding roads that wrap two souls in one breathtaking journey.

When we began our Shimla – Manali Honeymoon Package with Sonakshi Travels, we didn’t know we were signing up for more than a vacation. We were stepping into the quiet kind of magic that lingers in memories, that replays in your mind like the song you danced to under the pines.

🧭 Journey Planning: From Dreams to Destination

Planning a honeymoon can be overwhelming, but Sonakshi Travels took care of every detail — from luxury car pickups and romantic stays to candlelight dinners and snow point excursions.

🛫 How to Reach:

  • To Shimla:

    • By Air: Chandigarh Airport (approx. 120 km from Shimla)

    • By Train: Kalka Railway Station to Shimla via the famous Toy Train

    • By Road: Private car from Delhi/Chandigarh

  • Shimla to Manali: ~250 km | 7–8 hours scenic drive through valleys and apple orchards

🏞️ Day 1–2: Shimla — The Queen of Hills Welcomes You

We arrived in Shimla just as twilight touched the hills. The air was crisp, the pine trees whispering softly, and our hillside cottage overlooked a valley painted in mist.

🌇 What We Explored:

📍The Ridge & Mall Road 🛍️

Holding hands along this bustling stretch, we sipped hot chocolate, browsed woollen shawls, and watched local Himachali performers showcase folk dance.

📍Jakhoo Temple

A ropeway ride led us to the 108-ft Hanuman statue. The views from here? Like a watercolor come alive.

📍Kufri Excursion 🐎

Snowy meadows, yak rides, and laughter echoing in the air — Kufri felt like our private winter fairytale.

🥘 Must-Try Local Cuisine:

  • Chana Madra, Siddu, Babru, and Tudkiya Bhath

  • Cozy cafes on Mall Road served wood-fired pizza with mulled wine.

🏨 Stay in Shimla

We chose a romantic heritage resort with antique wooden interiors, a fireplace in our room, and a balcony perfect for chai at sunrise.

Sonakshi Travels had arranged a candlelight dinner on Day 2 — soft music, traditional Himachali cuisine, and candle flames flickering against the cold mountain night.

🚗 Day 3: Road Trip to Manali — Through the Valleys of Love

The road from Shimla to Manali was a journey in itself — forests, streams, dhabas serving butter parathas, and conversations that flowed as easily as the Beas River beside us.

📏 Distance: 250 km | Travel Time: ~7–8 hours

We stopped at:

  • 🌲 Pandoh Dam

  • 🕍 Kullu Vaishno Devi Temple

  • 🧣 Kullu Shawl Factory — where we picked up handcrafted pashminas

❄️ Day 4–5: Manali — Romance in the Heart of the Himalayas

Manali was like something out of a dream. Snow fell lightly as we checked into our riverside resort. The fireplace crackled, and love, once again, found its perfect setting.

💑 What We Did:

📍Solang Valley 🎿

Adventure blended with beauty. We tried snowboarding (with giggles more than skills) and rode the cable car for panoramic views.

📍Rohtang Pass (Seasonal)

Thick snow carpets, maggi stalls, and snowball fights. What more could we want?

📍Manu Temple & Hadimba Devi Temple

Ancient, peaceful, and wrapped in deodar forests — perfect for a quiet moment together.

📍Old Manali 🛶

Charming cafes, bohemian vibe, and romantic riverside seating.

🛌 Stay in Manali

Our honeymoon suite had large windows facing the mountains, a private Jacuzzi, and room service that brought warm apple pie and masala tea in the evenings.

💖 Bonus: Sonakshi Travels had arranged a flower bed decoration, honeymoon cake, and a spa session for two!

🕊️ Local Experiences That Made It Magical

🎭 Himachali Folk Performance

We were lucky to witness a cultural night — dancers in vibrant costumes spinning to drumbeats that echoed across the hills.

🍯 Apple Orchard Walk

Holding hands under sun-dappled apple trees, we tasted fresh fruit and took selfies we’ll cherish forever.

💌 Emotional Takeaway: When Love Found Its Address

They say honeymoons are not about where you go but how you feel. But for us, Shimla and Manali gave our love its own map — one that winds through snow, pine forests, laughter-filled valleys, and silence shared over coffee cups.

We returned not just with photos, but with stories. And with Sonakshi Travels, every part of the journey — from room keys to roadside parathas — felt like it was stitched with love and care.
