However, this specific flight route is extremely unreliable. We recommend taking a flight to chandigarh. Chandigarh International Airport also called Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, is 180 kms from Shillaru village and well connected by the National Highway 22. It takes roughly six hours by road to cover the distance and taxis and buses are both easily available.

It is well connected with the key cities of India, like Chandigarh, Shimla, and Delhi, by regular train services. From there, taxis are easily available for reaching Shilaroo. Kalka to Shimla is 95 km and though the journey takes about 6 hours, the train winds its way through 103 tunnels and some picturesque scenery. Railcar takes about 4 hours. Kalka has direct rail connections with Delhi, Calcutta, and Amritsar.
