How airport pickup works
Send us your flight number, the number of people and your hotel on WhatsApp. We confirm the car, the driver's name and number, and the fixed fare. On the day, the driver watches the flight. Gaggal's short runway means delays and the occasional diversion when clouds sit low, so we plan for that.
When you walk out of the small terminal, he is right at the exit. No haggling at the taxi counter, and no searching the car park.
Drops to the airport
For departures we suggest reaching Gaggal 90 minutes before your flight. From McLeodganj that means leaving about two and a half hours before, which allows for the bazaar traffic.
