Driving Shimla to Chandigarh: what this corridor is like
The fastest road in the north
NH-44 is six lanes almost the whole way; a sedan does Delhi–Chandigarh in four hours and Delhi–Amritsar in seven with one dhaba stop.
Wagah timed to the minute
The border ceremony has a fixed start; the driver leaves Amritsar with the margin it needs and knows the parking that avoids the walk.
Group and family fleets
Baraat tempos, Innovas for joint families and sedans for the tricity run — the corridor is served by the full fleet.
What the Shimla to Chandigarh road is actually like
The Chandigarh to Shimla road is flat and fast only as far as Pinjore; after Kalka it stops being a highway and becomes a hill road for the remaining eighty kilometres. The climb proper begins just past the Parwanoo toll, where Himachal starts, and the section up through Dharampur to Solan is where the hairpins come one after another, with the toy train line ducking in and out of its tunnels on the slope beside you. Our drivers take chai at Barog, a little short of Solan and roughly the halfway point. From Solan the road runs through pine forest by Kandaghat and Shoghi, and the last few kilometres into Shimla are a one-way system that must be followed as signed. In July and August the hillside near Solan slips and the road can shut; from December to February there is snow on the upper reaches and black ice in the shaded bends below Shimla, so we allow an extra hour. On May and June weekends leave Chandigarh by six to miss the queue at the town entry.
