Himachal Special Group Tour 2026 – 6N/7D Manali, Shimla & Solang Valley Trip with Pure Veg & Jain Food | ₹28,999 Per Person

The Himalayas Are Calling — Will You Answer?

Close your eyes for a moment.

Imagine waking up to a window full of snow-dusted peaks. You pull back the curtains and the entire Himalayan range stretches out in front of you — still, silent, and absolutely breathtaking. Cold mountain air sneaks through the gap in the window. Pine forests carpet the slopes below. Somewhere in the valley, a river rushes over smooth boulders.

Now here's the best part.

You don't have to plan a single thing. No scrambling to find vegetarian food in an unfamiliar hill town. No worrying about whether the hotel is decent. No stressing about who's driving, what you're visiting, or whether your family will be comfortable. Everything is already taken care of.

That's exactly what the NFTT WORLD Himachal Special Group Departure promises you.

Departing on 08 April 2026, this 6 Nights / 7 Days Deluxe Himachal Tour takes you across some of the most stunning landscapes in northern India — Chandigarh, Manali, Solang Valley, the legendary Atal Tunnel, Shimla, and Kufri — all at a special group price of just ₹28,999 per person.

Whether you're a family looking for a memorable school holiday escape, a couple wanting a romantic mountain retreat, a group of seniors seeking comfort without chaos, or a Jain traveler who's always had to compromise on food — this trip is designed specifically for you.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Why This Tour Hits Differently

Plenty of travel companies run Himachal packages. So what makes this one stand out?

It's not just about the places. It's about how you experience them.

The food situation alone changes everything. NFTT WORLD brings along a traditional Marwadi Maharaj — a skilled vegetarian chef — who prepares every meal in a separate, dedicated kitchen. We're talking authentic, home-style Pure Veg and Jain meals. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every single day. For groups of 25 or more, this separate kitchen arrangement is fully operational, ensuring your food doesn't just meet standards — it exceeds expectations.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

For Jain travelers especially, this is rare. You don't have to quiz hotel staff about cooking oils or cross-contamination. You don't have to settle for a sad plate of boiled vegetables. Instead, you sit down to a warm, lovingly prepared meal that feels like it came straight from a grandmother's kitchen in Rajasthan — right in the middle of the Himalayas.

Then there's the support structure. A professional Tour Manager travels with the group throughout the entire trip. Think of them as your personal mountain guide, problem-solver, and group coordinator all rolled into one. They handle the logistics so you can focus on simply enjoying yourself.

Add in premium hotel stays, group transfers by bus or Tempo Traveler, and a carefully curated sightseeing itinerary, and you've got a complete package that takes the stress out of travel entirely.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

The Places You'll Discover

Chandigarh — Where the Journey Begins

Chandigarh is India's most meticulously planned city, and it sets a calm, organized tone for the journey ahead. The famous Rock Garden is a jaw-dropping sculpture park built entirely from recycled materials — unexpected, creative, and genuinely impressive. Sukhna Lake, calm and wide, is perfect for an evening stroll. The city feels unhurried. It's a great place to settle in, shake off travel fatigue, and get excited about the mountains ahead.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Manali — The Heart of the Himalayas

Manali is where the mountains get serious. Snow-capped peaks, dense deodar cedar forests, gushing rivers, and a crisp air that makes every breath feel like a small celebration. This is the longest stop on your tour — three full nights — and for good reason. Manali has something for everyone. Adventure seekers can go paragliding or try snow activities. Temple lovers can visit ancient shrines. Those who just want to sit quietly and stare at mountains? Perfect. There's plenty of that too.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Solang Valley — Pure Mountain Theatre

About 14 km north of Manali, Solang Valley opens up like a natural amphitheatre surrounded by snow-covered slopes. In April, there's often still enough snow for activities. The valley is famous for paragliding, zorbing, and snow fun. But even if you skip the adventure stuff, just standing there and looking around is an experience by itself. The mountains rise like silent guardians over the valley floor, and the sky turns an almost unreal shade of blue.

Atal Tunnel — An Engineering Marvel

At over 9 km long, the Atal Tunnel is one of the longest high-altitude road tunnels in the world. It connects Manali to the Lahaul-Spiti Valley through the Rohtang Pass. Driving through it feels surreal — you enter on one side in one world and emerge into a completely different landscape on the other. It's not just a road; it's an experience in itself.

Shimla — Where the British Left Their Heart

Shimla was the summer capital of British India, and it still carries that old-world elegance effortlessly. Colonial architecture lines the Mall Road. Victorian churches sit alongside Himalayan pine forests. The air smells faintly of wood smoke and mountain cedar. Shimla moves at a gentler pace than Manali — it's more refined, more nostalgic. Perfect for an unhurried evening walk or a cup of hot chai at a hilltop café.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Kufri — Snow, Views, and Pure Joy

Just 13 km from Shimla, Kufri sits at around 2,600 metres above sea level. In April, the snow here is still thick and inviting. Adventure activities, horse rides, and sweeping panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges make Kufri a highlight of the trip. Kids absolutely love it here. So do photographers.

Day-by-Day Itinerary: Your 7-Day Himalayan Story

Day 1 — 08 April | Arrival in Chandigarh

Your Himalayan adventure officially begins today.

You arrive at Chandigarh Airport or Railway Station, and the NFTT WORLD team is right there to welcome you with warm smiles and organized energy. No confusion, no waiting around. They transfer you smoothly to your hotel — the Clarion Inn or a similar premium property.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Once you're checked in and freshened up, the evening takes you out for a short city tour. You visit the mesmerizing Rock Garden, where sculptor Nek Chand turned industrial waste into incredible art. Then it's a peaceful walk along Sukhna Lake as the sun dips behind the horizon. The water glows amber and gold. Back at the hotel, a warm Pure Veg dinner is waiting. Eat well. Rest well. The mountains are just one sleep away.

Meals: Dinner ✅

Day 2 — 09 April | Chandigarh to Manali

Rise early. Eat a hearty breakfast. Then buckle up — because today's drive is one of the most scenic in all of India.

The journey covers approximately 270 km over around 6 hours. As you leave Chandigarh behind, the landscapes begin to shift. Flat plains give way to rolling foothills. Rivers appear beside the road. Pine trees start crowding the slopes. The air gets noticeably cooler. By the time Manali's snowcapped peaks come into view, you'll feel like you've been transported to another world entirely.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Check into Hotel De Vivendi Resort (or similar) and take a breather. The evening is free — perfect for a stroll through Manali's lively Old Manali market or some casual window shopping on the main bazaar. Dinner is served at the hotel, cooked by your personal Marwadi Maharaj.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ✅

Day 3 — 10 April | Rohtang Pass & Solang Valley Excursion

Today is arguably the most exciting day of the trip.

The group heads out early for Rohtang Pass (if it's open for the season — this is subject to government permissions and snow conditions, so flexibility is key here). If Rohtang is accessible, the views from the top are almost otherworldly. Snow in every direction. Mountains you have to crane your neck to see the top of.

Meanwhile, Solang Valley is always on the cards. Adventure lovers, this is your day. Paragliding, zorbing, snowmobiling — the valley is your playground. Even if you're not into adventure sports, the sheer visual drama of the place will leave you breathless.

And then there's the Atal Tunnel — a 9-km passage through the mountain that still feels slightly magical, no matter how many times people cross it.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

You return to Manali for a well-earned dinner. Stories will be flowing tonight.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ✅

Day 4 — 11 April | Manali Local Sightseeing

Today's pace is slower. Gentler. And honestly, just as beautiful.

You explore the cultural and spiritual soul of Manali. The Hadimba Devi Temple is the first stop — an ancient wooden shrine nestled in a forest of towering deodar trees. It's quiet and slightly mystical, the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice. Next is Jagatsukh Temple, one of the oldest temples in the Kullu Valley, with intricate stone carvings that tell stories centuries old. Then there's Vashistha Kund, a natural hot spring village where locals and travelers alike soak tired feet in warm sulphuric water.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

The afternoon is yours. Shop for Kullu shawls, explore a café, or just sit by the Beas River and let the mountains do the talking.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ✅

Day 5 — 12 April | Manali to Shimla

It's time to say goodbye to Manali — but what a drive awaits you.

The Manali to Shimla journey covers about 230 km over 6 hours, and every kilometre is visually spectacular. The route passes by the Pandoh Dam, where the Beas River swells into a vast, still reservoir that mirrors the mountains above. A little further along, the Beas River itself rushes dramatically through narrow gorges, fast and fierce and magnificent.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

There's also a stop at a Kullu Shawl Factory — a great opportunity to pick up those legendary Kullu woollen shawls directly from the source. Authentic, affordable, and beautiful. You arrive in Shimla in the evening, check into Hotel Sukh Sagar Regency or Vue Magic Resort (or similar), and enjoy dinner as the city lights sparkle across the hilltops.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ✅

Day 6 — 13 April | Kufri Adventure & Shimla Sightseeing

Today packs a full punch of fun, culture, and colonial nostalgia.

The morning belongs to Kufri. Snow activities, horse rides, panoramic Himalayan views — this little hill station delivers big experiences. Kids go absolutely wild here, and honestly, so do most adults. The views of the snow ranges from Kufri are some of the best you'll see on this entire trip.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

In the afternoon, Shimla itself takes centre stage. You visit the ancient Jakhu Temple, perched high on a hilltop with a towering Hanuman statue visible from much of the city. Then it's on to Christ Church, one of the finest examples of neo-Gothic architecture in all of Asia, followed by the iconic Scandal Point — a junction steeped in royal gossip and colonial history. And finally, a leisurely evening walk down Mall Road, Shimla's beloved pedestrian promenade lined with shops, cafés, and that irresistible Himalayan energy.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Back at the hotel, your Maharaj has dinner ready. Eat, relax, and soak in your last night in the mountains.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ✅

Day 7 — 14 April | Chandigarh Drop

The last morning. Pack your bags, take a final look at those beautiful hills, and have a warm breakfast with your travel companions. The group then makes the roughly 110-km drive back to Chandigarh — about 4 hours — arriving in time for departures from the airport or railway station.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

The NFTT WORLD team drops you off with the same warmth with which they welcomed you seven days ago.

Meals: Breakfast ✅

Tour ends with sweet memories.

The Food Experience — A Traveler's Dream

Let's talk about this properly, because it genuinely deserves its own section.

For vegetarian and Jain travelers, food anxiety is real. You've probably been on trips where you had to hunt for a pure veg restaurant in an unfamiliar place, or accept substandard meals because there were no better options. That stress vanishes completely on this tour.

NFTT WORLD brings a traditional Marwadi Maharaj along for the journey — a cook deeply trained in authentic vegetarian and Jain cuisine. For groups of 25 or more, a separate kitchen is set up exclusively for the group, ensuring there's zero cross-contamination with non-veg cooking.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Every meal is freshly prepared. Every dish carries that homemade warmth. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all included from Day 1 dinner through to Day 7 breakfast. You're never left wondering where your next meal is coming from. And honestly? After a long day of mountain sightseeing, coming back to a hot, authentic Jain meal served by your own chef feels incredibly luxurious.
