Chandigarh to Kasauli by road
| Distance | Driving time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| About 60 km | 1.5–2 hours | via Zirakpur, Parwanoo and Dharampur |
A short drive from the Tricity: through Zirakpur and Pinjore to Parwanoo, up the four-lane to Dharampur and onto the Kasauli road. It is popular for day trips and weekend stays, and for wedding guests staying at the resorts around Kasauli and Dharampur. Avoid Saturday mornings if you can; traffic up from Chandigarh is heavy.
Because it is so close, we can also do a Kasauli day trip from Chandigarh and drop you back by evening. Resorts around Dharampur and Garkhal are a popular base for weddings and offsites. On rainy days the road is slower, so allow extra time.
Pickup in Chandigarh
We pick up from Chandigarh airport, the railway station, ISBT Sector 43 or your home or hotel in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula or Zirakpur.
Arriving in Kasauli
Parts of upper Kasauli are closed to vehicles, so we drop you at your hotel or the nearest point to the Mall. Worth your time in Kasauli: Christ Church, the Mall, Sunset Point and the Gilbert Trail walk.
