To Reach?
It is essential for everyone to arrive at Dharamshala Bus Stand (ISBT) (10:00 am).
Once you reach the Dharamshala Govt. Bus Stand/ ISBT. TTH will take care of your further travel, which is also the starting point of the trek.
- Reach by Bus.
Take overnight bus to Dharamshala from Delhi or Chandigarh, taking a bus from Chandigarh is the most ideal option.
• Chandigarh to Dharamshala Bus: 7 hours.
• Delhi to Dharamshala Bus: 12-13 hours is hectic and takes more time.
We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Dharamshala at least by 7-8 am positively.
- Take a flight to Gaggal Airport.
The nearest airport is at Gaggal, about 13 kilometres away from Dharamshala. Tourists from other parts of India would find it easier to take a flight till Chandigarh and book a taxi for their onward journey to Dharamshala, which is about 237 kilometres away.
- Reach by Train.
You can even come via train; Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Dharamshala that is 85 km and takes 3hrs.
