IndiGo has announced the resumption of direct flights between Dharamshala and Chandigarh starting September 1, following a 15-day hiatus. The airline has released a new schedule for this route, which will now operate four days a week.
According to the new schedule, flights will depart from Gagal Airport in Dharamshala at 1:10 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, arriving in Chandigarh. The return flight from Chandigarh to Dharamshala is scheduled for 2:45 PM.
Direct Connectivity for Passengers
The reinstatement of this air service will provide passengers from Kangra and surrounding areas with direct connectivity to Chandigarh, enhancing travel convenience and saving time.
Fare Information
The airfares for this route are expected to range between ₹3,500 and ₹4,000, though prices may vary based on travel dates and seat availability.
Time Savings for Travelers
This service will be particularly beneficial for passengers connecting to flights from Chandigarh to major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Previously, during the flight suspension, these travelers had to rely on road transport to reach Chandigarh, leading to increased travel time and costs.
Chandigarh as a Key Connectivity Point
For tourists visiting Dharamshala and Kangra, Chandigarh serves as an important connectivity hub. The resumption of the direct flight is expected to boost local hotels, taxi services, and overall tourism in the region.
