A thin dawn mist lifts off the pine slopes as the bus climbs from the plains toward the Shivalik and Dhauladhar ridges. Travelers watch terraces and tea gardens slide past, the air sharpening as elevation rises. The itinerary threads through colonial Shimla, the apple-scented valleys around Kullu and Manali, the snowfields of Solang and Rohtang (where permits and weather decide access), then west to the Tibetan-influenced pines of Dharamshala and the colonial lanes of Dalhousie before the finale at Amritsar’s Golden Temple.
