Trips from Chandigarh
Chandigarh sits closer to the mountains than almost any other major Indian city on this list, which makes it the fastest route into Himachal for a weekend trip. Manali, Kasol and Jibhi are all within a single day's drive, no overnight travel required.
We also plan Kashmir and Ladakh trips for Chandigarh-based groups flying or driving further north, alongside the usual Rajasthan and international requests.
