You cross 39 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,195 one way, about ₹0.80 per km. 24 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹1,920 extra to be safe.
At 24 h 30 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
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.
