By Rail: Pathankot, about 80 km away, is the nearest major railhead, well connected to Delhi and Amritsar; we handle the station transfer. By Road: Dalhousie is reached by a winding ≈ 80 km chauffeured drive from Pathankot, and can be linked with Dharamshala and Amritsar on a wider circuit. By Private Fleet: Our GPS-tracked, orthopedic-grade vehicles handle the mountain transfer and local drives to Khajjiar, Kalatop, and Chamba.
