Book Your Lucknow to Shimla Tempo Traveller on Rent

Shimla is roughly 900 km from Lucknow, a long haul that most groups prefer to do overnight via Delhi and Chandigarh. A tempo traveller on rent in Lucknow turns it into one continuous journey with your own seats, your own stops and a driver who handles the hill section from Kalka onwards.

Once you are there, the town is best explored on foot — Mall Road is vehicle-free — with the vehicle used for Kufri, Naldehra, Chail and the viewpoints. Three nights and four days is the comfortable format; two nights works if you skip the day trips.

Our 13, 17 and 26-seater tempo travellers, Force Urbania, Tata Winger and mini bus are air-conditioned and serviced before departure, and our drivers have experience on the Kalka-Shimla hill road. We tell you honestly where a large vehicle can and cannot go, so there are no surprises at the hotel gate.

Why Choose Us

Why Book a Tempo Traveller for the Shimla Journey?

A 900 km drive with a hill climb at the end needs a well-maintained vehicle and a driver who has done it before. That is exactly what we provide.

payments

One Cost for the Whole Group

Compared with flights or train tickets plus local taxis in Shimla, a shared tempo traveller is usually the most economical way for a family or friend group.

support_agent

Drivers Who Know the Hills

Hill driving is a different skill. Our drivers handle the climb from Kalka, the hairpin bends to Kufri and the narrow hotel approach roads with care.

A Base That Stays With You

Mall Road is closed to vehicles, but everything else — Kufri, Naldehra, Chail, the viewpoints — is easier when your own vehicle is waiting at the designated point.

What Our Travellers Say

A few words from families and groups who travelled with Parijat Tour and Travels.

★★★★★

Four families, one 26-seater, four days in Shimla. The driver was excellent on the hill road and knew exactly where to park below Mall Road. Very comfortable trip.

Abhishek Nigam

Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
★★★★★

We left Lucknow at 6 pm and reached Shimla by morning. The overnight drive was smooth, and having our own vehicle for Kufri and Naldehra made the trip much easier than hiring local taxis.

★★★★★

Booked the Urbania for a family holiday. Clean, warm when needed, and the driver was patient with my parents. The final bill matched the quote.

FAQ

Lucknow to Shimla Tempo Traveller FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about this route.

How far is Shimla from Lucknow and how long does it take?
add
Shimla is about 900 km from Lucknow via Delhi, Chandigarh and Kalka. The drive takes around 15 to 16 hours including breaks, so most groups travel overnight and reach Shimla by morning.
What is the tempo traveller fare from Lucknow to Shimla?
add
Tempo travellers are charged per kilometre, not per seat. Rates start at ₹24 per km for a 13-seater, ₹28 per km for a 17-seater, ₹34 per km for a 26-seater, ₹45 per km for a Force Urbania and ₹50 per km for a mini bus, with a minimum billing of 250 km per day. Toll, parking, state tax and any driver night charge are billed separately. Share your travel dates and group size on call or WhatsApp for a written quote.
How many days should I plan for Shimla?
add
Three nights and four days is comfortable: two days of travel and two full days in and around Shimla. Add a night if you want Chail or Naldehra as well.
Can a tempo traveller go up to Mall Road?
add
No. Mall Road and the Ridge are vehicle-free, and large vehicles are restricted on several town roads. Your driver will drop you at the designated point below the Ridge, and the hotel or a local taxi covers the last stretch.
Is it safe to drive to Shimla in winter?
add
The highway up to Kalka is fine all year. On the hill road, snow and ice can slow things down, and chains may be needed in January. Share your dates and we will advise on the current conditions and timing.
Are tolls, parking and driver night charges included?
add
The per-km fare includes fuel, air conditioning and driver allowance. Tolls, parking, state taxes and driver night charges for the nights spent in Shimla are billed separately, explained in writing before booking.
