About This Trip

Planning to travel from Jaisalmer to Shimla? At 984 km and roughly 19 hrs 41 mins, this is a multi-day route that's best done with a planned overnight stop rather than a single non-stop drive, which keeps both you and your driver considerably more comfortable across the full distance between the two cities on this route. Guruji Travels offers transparent per-km pricing shown clearly in the fare table, with tolls and permit charges itemized separately rather than added later. GPS-tracked cars and verified, experienced drivers are standard on every trip we run. For comfort over two days, the Crysta remains our strongest recommendation for most travellers, on every single trip you book with us.

It's also a comfortable option for families, senior citizens, or anyone carrying extra luggage, since you're not restricted to what you can carry on public transport. That said, if you're leaving from Jaisalmer during peak hours, factor in an extra 30-45 minutes to clear city traffic before you hit the highway.
