Route Overview

The Chandigarh to Shimla bus journey climbs through the Shivalik range with over 800 curves and panoramic mountain views. The road passes through Kalka, Barog (famous tunnel), and Solan before reaching Shimla. The colonial architecture, Mall Road, Christ Church, and Jakhu Temple are perfect for group sightseeing.

Only 22-27 seater mini buses are recommended for the steep Kalka-Shimla mountain road. Larger coaches struggle with the sharp hairpin bends and narrow stretches. For groups of 40+, hire two smaller buses.
