Day trips
Kangra and Dharamshala sightseeing taxi, by the day
A car and driver for the day around Kangra and Dharamshala rather than for a fixed list of stops — McLeodganj and Bhagsu are 50 minutes away, Kangra Fort and Masroor under an hour, Palampur's tea gardens an hour east. Half days work too. Tell us who is coming and how they walk, and we build the day around that: Kapil on +91 98053 05643 or Sahil on +91 78075 42573.

About this service
Local sightseeing.
There is far more to the valley than the temples. We run easy day trips so you see the best of it — the monasteries of McLeodganj, the tea gardens of Palampur, the ancient Kangra fort and the rock temples of Masroor — without chasing a timetable.
You set the pace; we suggest the route, the photo stops and a good place to eat, and keep the day comfortable for elders and children.
What you get
- Half-day or full-day, planned around you
- A driver who knows the views, the halts and the food
- Comfortable for elders and children
- Clean AC car on a commercial tourist-taxi permit
- One all-in fare: fuel, tolls and parking included

From the enquiry to the end of the job
How it actually works
A full day, or a half
The car is yours for the day rather than for a fixed list of stops. If the group wants to sit somewhere for two hours instead of ticking off a viewpoint, that is a better day and it costs the same.
- Before
Tell us who is coming
Ages, walking ability, whether anyone travels badly. It changes the route far more than what you want to see does.
- Early
Start before the crowd
On every route around Dharamshala the difference between eight and eleven in the morning is enormous. We would rather start early and finish early.
- Morning
The uphill things first
McLeodganj, Bhagsu, Naddi — the places that fill up and where parking runs out. Kangra Fort too, while it is still cool enough to walk the ramparts.
- Midday
A real lunch stop
Not a rushed one. The driver knows which places are clean and where the toilets are, which matters more on a family day than the menu does.
- Afternoon
The gentler half
Temples, tea gardens, Norbulingka, Masroor — the level ground, once the group has done its climbing.
- Evening
Back when you are ready
There is no clock on the day. If you want the Chamunda aarti on the way home, we build the afternoon around it.
Worth knowing
The driver is the guide
Kapil and Sahil have driven these roads since 2018. They are not licensed tour guides and will not pretend to be, but they know what is worth stopping for and what is not.
Half days work
Plenty of people book four hours around Kangra or Dharamshala rather than a full day. Say so and we quote it that way.
What is not included
Entry tickets, meals and anything you buy. The fare is the car, driver, fuel, parking and tolls. Nothing is added afterwards.

Local sightseeing: questions we get
Can we plan the sightseeing at our own pace?
Yes. We suggest a route and the best stops, but the day is yours. You decide where to linger and where to skip, and we keep the halts comfortable for everyone in the group.
Is sightseeing charged by the day or the kilometre?
Local day trips are a flat day rate that covers the car, driver, fuel, tolls and parking. We confirm the exact all-in figure on WhatsApp before you set out.
Can you combine sightseeing with a temple darshan?
Easily. Many guests pair a Chamunda or Brajeshwari darshan with McLeodganj or Kangra Fort on the same day — tell us your plan and we will route it well.
