Chandigarh, Punjab
About Chandigarh, Punjab
Chandigarh is where the plains end and every road to the hills begins: Shimla three hours up the Kalka road, Dharamshala six across the Kangra valley, Manali eight along the Beas. The airport is on the bypass, the railway station across the road from it, and our office in Sector 17 is ten minutes from either — most trips start with a name on a board at arrivals.
Getting here 2 ways in
- Chandigarh airport (IXC)
- the driver waits at arrivals with your name.
- Chandigarh railway station
- the same, at the exit.
From Delhi by road it is five hours on the expressway; we pick up in Delhi too, quoted as an outstation run.
When to come
Mid-June to early October is the prime riding season when high-altitude passes like Rohtang, Kunzum, and Ladakh routes are fully open. September is the absolute sweet spot with clear skies and minimal water crossings. November to May is off-season as high-altitude passes remain blocked by heavy winter snow.
Nearby
Chandigarh airport pickup
15 minWhere most trips start: the driver waits at arrivals with your name, and the road to the hills begins on the bypass.
The Beas road to Manali
8 hKiratpur, the Sundernagar bypass, Mandi, Kullu — eight hours if the road is clear, a tea stop at Aut.
Kangra to Dharamshala
6.5 hFlat till Kangra, then the climb to McLeod Ganj; the tea gardens at Palampur are the detour worth taking.
Kalka to Shimla
3.5 hThe short one: the four-lane to Kalka, then the hill road up past Solan.

The drivers
Six drivers, six cars, and one rule: the fare we quote is the fare you pay. Every driver is KYC- and police-verified, every car runs on an All India Tourist Permit, and between us we have driven the Chandigarh–Manali road in every season since 2011 — we know which dhaba is open at 5 am and which bend ices first in January.
