Chandigarh Airport to Shimla is a 125 km road journey that normally takes 3h – 3h 55m, depending on traffic, weather and how many stops you make. We run it as a private transfer: one car, one driver, your pickup time — not a shared vehicle and not a meter.
The colonial summer capital of British India and Himachal's hill capital. Common drop points include Old Bus Stand, Lift (Cart Road), Shimla hotels, and we are happy to drop anywhere else in and around Shimla.
For airport legs we watch the flight in real time. If you land late the driver waits at no extra cost, and for departures we build in buffer time so you reach check-in comfortably. Pickups run 24 hours, including very early morning and post-midnight flights.
At 125 km this route also works well as a same-day return — we can wait at Shimla while you finish your business, sightseeing or darshan and bring you back the same evening. Ask for a wait-and-return quote when you book.
Your fare is quoted upfront and includes fuel, tolls, state permits and driver allowance. You pay online when you book, and you receive the driver's name and number before pickup.
