Getting to Dalhousie

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Dalhousie

bus · 12h

₹600

1 way / person

Pathankot → Dalhousie

cab · 2h

₹1,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Dalhousie by bus. Return for two works out to about ₹2,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹5,780 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Dalhousie's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
