To begin your Himachal Pradesh trip from Kolkata, you can take a connecting flight from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport to Shimla Airport (via Delhi and Amritsar) which might take around 5-6 hours. Alternatively, you can board a connecting flight from Kolkata to Kullu-Manali Airport (via Delhi and Amritsar) which might also take 5 to 6 hours. In either case, you can reach popular places like Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala from the airport, since they are all easily accessible by taxi or bus.
Within this option to reach Himachal, simply take a train from Kolkata to Kalka. This journey will last around 29 to 30 hours and upon arrival in Kalka you can catch the Kalka-Shimla toy train. With this, add another 5 to 6 hours of scenic ride to your experience.
Though Himachal Pradesh is stunning year-round, the best time to travel there depends on the kind of holiday you’re planning. Whether you're looking for some snow, festivals, or lush green valleys, there's definitely a perfect Himachal Pradesh package from Kolkata to match every season.
The temperatures range from 22°C to 37°C. This makes summer the best time for exploring Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala. Long sunny days and cool evenings make it ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and camping. If you get a chance, attend local festivals like the Hadimba Devi Fair and Shimla Summer Festival as well.
Temperatures drop to 15°C–25°C, and the hills get covered in mist and fresh greenery. While landslides can disrupt travel, this off-season comes with fewer crowds and vibrant events like the Minjar Festival in Chamba.
Expect snowfall, frozen lakes, and temperatures ranging from 0°C to 15°C. This is unarguably the best time to visit Solang Valley for skiing, enjoy the snow-covered charm of Dalhousie, or attend the Manali Winter Carnival.
