About the Kasol–Shimla drive

Kasol to Shimla is a comfortable one-day drive of 225 km, mostly on NH205 and Bhuntar Manikaran Highway.

You cross 1 toll plaza, but none of them publishes fees in the NHAI dataset (they are mostly state or municipal plazas). Based on typical highway fees we estimate about ₹80 for a car — treat it as a budget, not an exact figure.

Shimla is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
