About This Trip

Covering 1,443 km in around 28 hrs 52 mins, the Rajkot to Shimla route isn't ideal for driving straight through. An overnight halt roughly midway makes the trip much more comfortable, giving both passengers and driver a proper rest before continuing on to the final stretch of what is genuinely a multi-day journey between the two cities. Guruji Travels offers transparent per-km pricing shown clearly in the fare table, with tolls and permit charges itemized separately rather than added later. For comfort over two days, we'd recommend the Crysta or Ertiga depending on your group size. GPS-tracked cars and verified drivers are standard on every trip, for your complete peace of mind always.

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 Rajkot during peak hours, factor in an extra 30-45 minutes to clear city traffic before you hit the highway.
