A Shimla snow trip works best between late December and February. That is when fresh snow is most likely in Kufri, Fagu and Narkanda, all within a short drive of Shimla.
When to Plan Your Shimla Snow Trip
Mid to late December: first snow spells possible, festive crowds at Christmas and New Year.
January: best chance of snow, coldest weather.
February: snow still likely at higher points, fewer crowds.
March: snow mostly melts in Shimla town, may remain at Narkanda.
Snowfall dates change every year. We follow the weather forecast and keep one flexible day so you reach the snow on the right day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best month for a Shimla snow trip?
January gives the best chance of snow. Late December and February also work well.
Is Kufri or Narkanda better for snow?
Kufri is closer and easier for families. Narkanda is higher, so the snow usually stays longer.
Can we do a Shimla snow trip from Delhi in 3 nights?
Yes. Delhi to Shimla is about 8–9 hours by road. 3 nights covers Shimla, Kufri and one more snow point.
What if it does not snow on our dates?
We take you to the highest point with snow at that time, usually Narkanda or Hatu Peak, depending on the roads.
