Day 1 Delhi / Kasauli
Your tour commences today as you drive from Delhi to Kasauli where you will be booked for one night.

Day 3 Shimla
Today you will tour the Jakhu Temple, dedicated to Hanuman, from where you enjoy an excellent view of Shimla. Next you visit the Vice-Regal Lodge, which once served as the seat of power. The rest of the day will be free. You may choose to visit a mini golf course-one of the most picturesque in the world.
Day 4 Shimla / Taragarh
Drive from Shimla to Taragarh, where you will stay in a beautiful palace for two nights.
