Property In Shimla » How to Reach

Because of being one of the most prominent tourist destinations of India & Asia, Shimla is well connected through road, rail, and air.

By Air:
The Jubbarhatti airfield, just 22 Km from Shimla City has regular flights from Delhi, Chandigarh and Kullu. But owing to rough weather conditions during the winter, flights may be irregular, especially from December to February. Alternatively, Chandigarh Airport located at a distance of 120 Km, can be used for air connections and then up to Shimla by road.

By Rail:
The broad-gauge line terminates at Kalka, about 100 Km down in the plains. The Kalka railway station is connected to most of the major cities of India, including Delhi and Kolkata. Kalka connects Shimla through the narrow-gauge line. The toy train which runs from Kalka and back, takes about five-and-a-half hours to reach. The luxury first class compartments have glass sides to give a superb view of the ride through tunnels, over bridges and up steep slopes. Though the train journey is more romantic, it is much slower than the bus journey.

By Road:
Shimla is well connected by road to Chandigarh, Delhi, Dehradun, Kalka, and other important north-Indian towns. There are regular bus services to Chandigarh, Kullu, Manali, Delhi, Mandi Pathankot, and Ambala. Most of the travelers prefer to drive up to Shimla in private or hired vehicles.
