About this run
How we drive it
Hamirpur to Dharamshala is one of those Himachal journeys that looks short on a map and is not: a hundred kilometres of hill road through Nadaun and Dehra, about three hours.
A good part of this traffic is NIT Hamirpur: students and staff heading for Gaggal airport or into Dharamshala, particularly at the start and end of term when everything is busy at once. Book ahead in those weeks.
The road follows the Beas for a stretch after Nadaun, which is the pleasant part, and then climbs into the valley proper. Jwala Ji is a short detour if you want darshan on the way.

Once you reach Dharamshala
A gentle road
The Beas stretch through Nadaun is flat and unwinding. This is one of the easier three-hour drives in the state if anyone travels badly.
Flying out of Gaggal
The airport is on this route, 30 minutes short of Dharamshala. If that is where you are headed we stop there rather than going up and back.
Up to McLeodganj
20 minutes more from Dharamshala. Worth saying at booking.

Hamirpur to Dharamshala taxi: your questions
How long is Hamirpur to Dharamshala by taxi?
About three hours for roughly 100 km. Hill roads make it slower than the distance suggests, so allow the full three.
Can you pick up from NIT Hamirpur?
Yes, regularly — particularly for airport and station runs at the start and end of term. Those weeks fill up, so book ahead.
Can we stop at Jwala Ji on the way?
Yes, it is a short detour off the route and easy to build into the same fare.
