The distance from Amritsar to Dharamshala is approximately 200 kilometers, and the journey typically takes 4-5 hours by taxi. This duration can vary depending on several factors including traffic conditions, weather (especially during monsoon or winter seasons), stops along the way, and the specific area of Dharamshala you're traveling to.

Our one-way service includes a dedicated driver who will transport you directly to your destination in Dharamshala with no obligation for return travel. This service is ideal for travelers who plan to stay in Dharamshala for an extended period or have different onward travel plans. One-way fares start from ₹4,500 for sedan cars and ₹5,500 for SUVs.
