How to Reach Himachal

By Air

The nearest major airport to Himachal Pradesh is Chandigarh International Airport (IXC), approximately 113 km from Shimla and well-connected to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Another convenient option is Kangra Airport (DHM) near Dharamsala, about 13 km from the town, with regular flights from Delhi and other northern cities. For Manali and Kullu, the closest airport is Bhuntar Airport (KUU), around 50 km from Manali, with limited flights primarily from Delhi. From these airports, TravMe’s private cabs provide comfortable transfers to your chosen destinations in Himachal.

By Train

The nearest broad-gauge railway station is Chandigarh Railway Station, well-linked to major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. From Chandigarh, private cabs can take you to Shimla (about 115 km) or Manali (around 310 km). For a more scenic route, you can take the narrow-gauge Kalka-Shimla Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which starts from Kalka (accessible by train from Delhi and Chandigarh) and winds up to Shimla. Dharamsala and Dalhousie do not have direct rail links; the nearest stations are Pathankot (90 km from Dharamsala) and Jammu Tawi (140 km from Dalhousie).

By Road

Himachal Pradesh is well-connected by road to Delhi, Chandigarh, and other northern cities. The NH205 and NH3 highways connect Chandigarh to Shimla, while the NH3 continues to Manali via the scenic Atal Tunnel, which reduces travel time significantly. Regular bus services operate from Delhi, Chandigarh, and Amritsar to key towns like Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, and Dalhousie. TravMe’s packages include private cabs for hassle-free travel on these winding mountain roads, ensuring a comfortable and flexible journey through Himachal’s breathtaking landscapes.
