Air: Indian Airlines flies regularly to the city
from Delhi, Amritsar and Leh.
Rail: Chandigarh is fairly easy to reach from any city in North
India by rail. The railway station lies 8km southeast of the city centre
and is slightly inconvenient to reach. Chandigarh is linked by train to
Delhi, Kalka and Shimla.
Road: Buses connect Chandigarh to cities like Amritsar,
Dharamshala, Delhi, Jaipur, Manali and Shimla. The city's bus station is a
large, crowded, messy and noisy place that serves as a major link for
Himachal-bound travellers.

been introduced at the Railway Station and the ISBT. However,
