About this run
How we drive it
Two hours from the western gate of the district to the Dhauladhar, with the last half hour climbing out of the valley floor into Dharamshala.
Hospital appointments account for a lot of it (the Zonal Hospital and Tanda both draw people in from the Nurpur side) along with office and college trips, and visitors staying at Nurpur who want a day in McLeodganj.
If you are coming off a train at Pathankot, we will usually pick you up there instead and run the whole thing in one car; it is only forty minutes further west and saves you a change.
One fare for this run, quoted on WhatsApp before you travel. See what's in a Kangra taxi fare.

Nurpur to Dharamshala taxi: your questions
How long is Nurpur to Dharamshala by taxi?
About two hours for roughly 65 km, with the last stretch climbing up out of the valley.
Can you pick us up at Pathankot instead?
Yes, and it often makes more sense. Pathankot is about forty minutes west of Nurpur, and running it in one car saves you a change with luggage.
Do you go on up to McLeodganj?
Yes, another thirty minutes or so above Dharamshala. Tell us the guesthouse and we will say where the car can reach.
