How to get from Shimla to Chandigarh
Taxi
A one-way taxi from Shimla to Chandigarh usually charges a fixed or per-kilometer fare. The inDrive intercity ride service works like a private car service, but the passenger posts a fare and chooses a driver from the replies.
Bus
HRTC and CTU buses run between ISBT Tutikandi in Shimla and ISBT Sector 43 in Chandigarh. Stops, mountain traffic, and weather usually make the bus journey about 4–6 hours. Check the latest departure point, schedule, and fare before leaving. A bus can be an affordable travel option, although fixed terminals add a connection at each end. inDrive.Outstation is a door-to-door ride with a local driver.
Train
Rail travel normally uses the narrow-gauge Shimla–Kalka Railway followed by a mainline connection. The transfer and mountain schedule make it much slower than a direct road trip. Rail is station to station; inDrive.Outstation lets the passenger choose the pickup and drop-off addresses.
