"Himachal’s snowy retreat near Shimla for families"

Kufri Tourism

Kufri is a quaint little hill town 20km away from Shimla,Himachal Pradesh. Earlier known to be the summer retreat for the British in 1819, Kufri still harbors its past through the colonial buildings and architecture around. With its pleasant summer weather and winter snowfall, Kufri is flocked by tourists almost at all times. However, snowfall is at its peak from November to March, which is also the best time to visit Kufri.

Located at an altitude of 2720 meters above sea level, Kufri is the starting point for some of the famous treks in Himachal. The Mahasu peak trek and the Fagu valley are two of the most sought-after places in Kufri, except you could hike or go on a pony ride from the parking lot to reach the top.

Visiting the Kufri Zoo, Kufri Fun World—best known for its Go-karting experience, and Yak rides are some fun things to do on your visit to Kufri.

When planning a visit to Kufri, include Chail in your itinerary as it's close by and has plenty of sightseeing options, such as temples, a wildlife sanctuary, and a nature park. Other destinations you could cover include Narkanda, Mashobra, Tattapani, and Naldehra; check out these Shimla packages for more.

There are several cabs and buses available in Shimla to go to the Kufri parking lot. It takes you around 40 mins to reach. The cab prices start from INR 1300. The bus fare is around INR 30-50 INR max.
To reach the top of Mahasu Peak where most of the adventure activities are situated, you will have to take a ride on a pony which is very easily available here.
A pony ride should cost you around INR 500 per person for a round trip from the parking spot.
It is recommended to wear snowshoes and they can be rented as well for INR 250 per pair.
There is an entry ticket of INR 10 that has to be paid to Kufri Gram Panchayat and INR 10 to Fagu Gram Panchayat.
You can also hike to the top by yourself but the way is very muddy & slippery and slightly difficult because of the continuous commotion by all the other ponies.
