About this run

How we drive it

Una is where the plains stop and Himachal starts, and Dharamshala is three hours further up. By bus that is a change and most of a day; by car it is a single steady climb with the Dhauladhar in front of you for the last hour.

The road goes past Chintpurni, so a darshan halt costs you very little time and is the thing most families ask for. Jwala Ji is close as well if you want both.

We are a Kangra firm, about two and a half hours north of Una, so this is a pre-booked run rather than one you flag down. Give us the time (including a train or bus arrival), and the car will be there before you are.

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

Once you reach Dharamshala

Two temples for free

Chintpurni and Jwala Ji are both on this road. Building them into the transfer rather than making separate trips is the single best use of this route.

Onward up

McLeodganj is 20 minutes further and 500 m higher. Say at booking so we do not drop you twice.

Coming back

The return is the same road, so a two-day plan can take Chintpurni on the way up and Jwala Ji on the way down without repeating anything.
