Himachal tour package from Chandigarh

Chandigarh sits at the foot of the hills, which makes it the easiest city in India to start a Himachal road trip from.

Chandigarh has far more flights than Gaggal and is only 115 km from Shimla and about 240 km from Dharamshala. Many of our guests fly in here from Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad and start the road trip straight from the airport.

We pick up from Chandigarh airport, the railway station, ISBT Sector 43 or your hotel in Mohali or Panchkula, and can end the trip back in Chandigarh or at Gaggal.
