Questions people ask

How far is Bharmour from Chamba?

About 60 km by road, roughly 128 minutes by car or bus on our routing. The road climbs the Ravi valley, so most travellers go from Chamba, and many break the longer journey from Dalhousie or Pathankot with a night in Chamba before the final stretch.

What is the nearest airport to Bharmour?

Kangra Airport at Gaggal, about 192 km away and roughly 383 minutes by road. Pathankot is the nearest big railhead, about 162 km and 332 minutes away. Both are long drives, so plan to go via Chamba and allow for slow mountain roads.

How do you get to Bharmour by bus?

Buses run up the Ravi valley from Chamba. For Hadsar and the Manimahesh road you will need a taxi outside the pilgrimage season, and during it extra transport is arranged locally, so ask in Bharmour. We have no verified timetables to quote.
