Travel to Mandi

Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers

Mandi does not maintain any personal airport. The closest airfield to Mandi is the Bhuntar airport which is situated in Kullu. This airport is cons

idered to be a challenging airport for airmen to land safely their planes as the only runway is situated in a valley which is environed by the peaks. Bhuntar airport is connected to Chandigarh and Delhi so passengers traveling from these two places can easily visit Mandi. Once you reach Bhuntar Airport, you can book yourself a cab, uber or any taxi and head towards Mandi. Other transports like buses and auto-rickshaws are used by many tourists to get in and out of Mandi from the Bhuntar Airport.

If you don’t prefer taking the road route then the train is the next best alternative for you. However, Mandi has no railway station of its own and

the nearest railway house is situated in Joginder Nagar which is nearly 55 km away from Mandi. Currently, there are two trains that take a halt at this station. Further planning is being done to extend the Kangra Valley Railway to Mandi and finally correlate it with a new Bilaspur-Mandi-Leh railway track.

Mandi by road is one of the most suitable options when a question like how to reach Mandi comes in mind. The roads of major cities

like Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana are all well connected to the city of Mandi. Regular HRTC buses are majorly observed on the connecting roads of Mandi and Delhi. If you adore natural hues and enchanting dusks then it is suggested you must consider going to Mandi by road. Chandigarh to Mandi distance is approximately 5 hours and Shimla to Mandi distance too isn’t much, many holidaymakers prefer taking the road route to reach Mandi as the journey between is beautiful and considered safe.

Tushar's 6 days trip to Mandi

We went on tour to Manali & Shimla in the month of May 2024. Hotel provided at manali was good under 3 star category with best view and good food & service. However Hotel provided at Shimla was very much disappointing. Though it has good view but food & rooms were of below average quality for 3 star category. There was leakage in bathroom and rooms were also congested making the stay uncomfortable. Cab & driver was excellent, driver was very much experienced for manali Shimla roads and very jolly in nature, made our travel comfortable. Services provided by travel triangle agent were also good, they were available at any given point of time. Thank you

Trip was fantastic. On Time pick up from Delhi. Smooth Journey all along from Delhi to Shimla to Manali and back to Delhi via Chandigarh with experienced driver. Smooth check in at all hotels. Hotel Rooms and Services received at Manali were excellent. Special thanks to Ms Shilpa our travel coordinator who was constantly in touch with us to make our trip smooth and memorable.

Rohit's 5 days trip to Mandi

It was overall good experience having travel plan by travel triangle. One thing goes wrong with us, it was return volvo bus. Travel vichar told us, they will provide subhyatri semi sleeper bus service but it wasn't the same at the time of returning. It was local bus with no any name on it. It wasn't semi sleeper, it was very conjusted, no leg space no thigh support, it was sitting bus with simple AC. Where we are not comfortable, not infact in sitting position. It was soo compact sitting space. Not even feel free in sitting as well.

Jitendra's 9 days trip to Mandi

Overall trip was good. Driver was very cooperative and nice. However, following are the issues during the trip:- 1. Certain highly famous sightseen were not included in the itinerary such as Atal Tunnel / Sisu Valley, Manikaran, Kasol etc. 2. For above trip driver charged directly to us. For e.g. we have paid INR 4K for Sisu which is hardly 25KM from Solang valley directly to driver. The price paid were too high as per my view. 3. Hotel Aura Grand in Amritsar was pathetic as the room were not clean, food was tasteless and not hygienic infact some food items like butter were stinking.
