Driving up to Dharamshala
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 200 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 6 hrs in normal traffic. We suggest a morning departure: hill roads are easier in daylight and you reach in time to check in and walk around. Carry a warm layer even in summer. With more than four people or heavy luggage, an SUV like the Maruti Ertiga or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on the climbs.
Which car should you choose?
For up to 4 passengers, the Maruti Dzire at ₹3,100 is the most economical choice. Families of 5 or 6 usually take the Maruti Ertiga (₹4,000), while the Innova Crysta (₹5,200) gives the smoothest ride over 200 km. For extra comfort, the Innova Hycross costs ₹6,400.
