Altitude Sickness in Spiti, Ladakh and Lahaul: A Practical Guide
Spiti, Lahaul and Ladakh are some of the most spectacular places you can reach by road in India, and some of the highest. Kaza is at about 3,650 m, Leh at about 3,500 m, Chandratal at about 4,300 m, and the passes on the way are higher still. Altitude sickness is common on these trips, and the way you plan the drive makes a big difference. This guide covers the practical side; it isn't medical advice, so talk to a doctor before you travel, especially if you have health conditions.

Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj: A Guide for International Visitors
McLeod Ganj, above Dharamshala, is home to the Tibetan government-in-exile and the residence of the Dalai Lama, which gives it a character unlike anywhere else in India: monasteries, prayer flags, Tibetan cafés and the snow peaks of the Dhauladhar range just behind. It draws visitors from all over the world. Here's how to make the most of it, including how to attend a public teaching.

Can Foreigners Drive in India? Self-Drive vs Hiring a Driver
Many visitors from abroad are used to renting a car and driving themselves, and wonder whether they can do the same in India. The rules for foreign licences are less clear-cut than you might expect, and Himachal's mountain roads are among the most demanding in the country. This guide sets out what the sources say about licences, what driving in the hills is really like, and why most visitors choose a car with a local driver.

Travel guidesChandigarh to Shimla Taxi Cost: What You Should Really Pay
Chandigarh to Shimla is only about 115 km, yet one-way taxi quotes vary from under ₹2,000 to nearly ₹6,000, sometimes from the same company. The difference is almost never the car: it's how the fare is built and what's left out. Here's how to read a quote, and what an all-inclusive price should look like.

Travel guidesHimachal Entry Tax for Taxis: What You Pay in 2026
If your taxi into Himachal Pradesh is registered in Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh or anywhere outside the state, it pays a state entry tax at the first barrier. It's one of the most common surprise charges on hill trips, because many quotes leave it out. Here's how it works in 2026, what has changed, and how to make sure it's in your fare from the start.

Travel guidesRohtang Pass Permit for Taxis: How It Works from Manali
Rohtang Pass is one of the most-requested day trips from Manali, and also one of the most confusing to book. Vehicles need a permit, permits are limited each day, and the rules have shifted over the years. Here's how it works for a taxi trip, what we can and can't promise, and the alternatives that need no permit at all.
Read guide · 3 minFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a taxi cost in Himachal?+
Our starting rates are ₹23/km for a sedan, ₹29/km for an SUV like the Ertiga and ₹32/km for an Innova Crysta, all-inclusive with tolls and Himachal entry tax. For example, Chandigarh to Shimla starts at ₹5,750 in a sedan. See the full Himachal taxi fare list for every route.
Which places in Himachal do you cover?+
Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj, Kasauli, Dalhousie, Kasol, Kullu, Bir, Palampur, Kangra and Jibhi, with pickups from Delhi, Chandigarh, Amritsar and Pathankot and the Delhi, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Kullu and Kangra airports.
Are your prices really all-inclusive?+
Yes. Our written quote includes fuel, driver allowance, tolls and Himachal state entry taxes. If anything isn't included, such as parking at sightseeing stops or a detour you add later, we say so before you pay.
How quickly will I get a quote?+
Within 15 minutes between 07:00 and 23:00 IST, on WhatsApp or by phone. Overnight requests are answered first thing in the morning.
Do I have to pay upfront?+
No payment is needed to get a quote. Once you accept, a small advance confirms the booking and the balance is paid to the driver or online.
Can I keep the same car and driver for several days?+
Yes. Multi-day tours with one driver are popular for Shimla–Manali–Dharamshala circuits, and usually better value than separate one-way transfers.
I'm visiting from abroad. Can I pay by international card?+
Yes. Prices are in INR and you can pay the advance with an international card. Any currency conversion we show is approximate.
