So check the internet before you plan your trip. <\/li><li>It is best not to travel during night. Make an overnight stay in Chandigarh, Dehradun or Yamunanagar.<\/li><li>Highway dhabas will be plenty and many places will offer delicious Punjabi and Himachali food. <\/li><li>Hire a taxi with a driver if you are not an experienced driver on hilly terrains. <\/li><li>Dress comfortably in sensible shoes since you will be trekking, hiking and walking a lot.<\/li><li>Make sure your vehicles are serviced properly before you take off. <\/li><li>Consult GPS or download a route app. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask the locals for help. There may be many tricky diversions and bypasses that you may miss.<\/li><li>Watch out for sign boards.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The road trip from Delhi to Shimla will be exciting, adventurous with a lot of gorgeous landscapes, photo ops and little gems you will discover on your excursions and explorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave questions, information and comments in the comment box below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checkout the treebo hotels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Dhalli Bus Station Shimla,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-sri-ram-hospital-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Sri Ram Hospital Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-in-shimla-with-restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels in Shimla with Restaurant<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-lower-chakkar-bus-stop-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Lower Chakkar Bus Stop Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-municipal-corporation-shimla-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Municipal Corporation Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-indus-hospital-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Indus Hospital Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-himachal-pradesh-university-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Himachal Pradesh University Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-indira-gandhi-medical-college-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-military-hospital-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Military Hospital Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-in-bishop-cotton-school-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels in Bishop Cotton School Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-himachal-pradesh-vidhan-sabha-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-gaiety-heritage-cultural-complex-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Gaiety Heritage Cultural Complex Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-regional-cancer-hospital-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotels near Regional Cancer Hospital Shimla<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-near-dhalli-bus-station-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shimla is the capital of Himachal Pradesh and one of the most visited hill stations in India.
