About this run

How we drive it

Chandigarh is the practical way in and out of the Kangra valley for a lot of people — better flight connections than Gaggal and far more trains than anywhere nearer.

Allow five and a half hours for the run. The valley section takes the first two, then it is a steady descent through Una onto the plains and a fast last stretch. We time airport drops with room to spare rather than cutting it fine on a hill road.

We drop anywhere in the Tricity (any Chandigarh sector, Mohali, Panchkula or Zirakpur), and pick up the same way for the return journey.

One fare for this run, quoted on WhatsApp before you travel. See what's in a Kangra taxi fare.

Once you reach Chandigarh

Tricity traffic

The last 30 km take longer than the map suggests, especially into Mohali and Zirakpur at rush hour. We allow for it.

Temples on the way

Jwala Ji, Chintpurni and Naina Devi all sit on or beside this road. A one-way transfer can easily turn into half a Devi Darshan.

Carrying on

Delhi is ~4 hrs further, Shimla ~3.5. If Chandigarh is a waypoint rather than the destination, the same car keeps going.
