there are plenty of taxis n busses to Dharamsala from Shimla and Manali...but taxis are abt 20-30% cheaper in shimla than manali.mark wrote:1 more thing, how easy and expensive would it be to get an overnight car between Manali and Dharmsala? are there overnight busses on this route?
i suggest u go to shimla first and hire a taxi frm there to see all the places in the state. it wud be a good deal.
u can spend 2 days in shimla. there are gr8 places around shimla like naldhera, golf course, kufri, kasauli etc. evenings can be spent in the pedastrian only Mall road in Shimla.
