Shimla is an easily accessible tourist destination due to its high connectivity through rail, road, and airways.
Road: The Chandigarh-Shimla highway is the best road to reach Shimla. It only takes slightly above three hours to reach the tourist destination from Chandigarh.
Rail: Kalka is the nearest broad gauge railway station and is almost 89 kilometers away. Once you reach the station you can take a toy train ride to Shimla which is an exciting experience. You can also avail a cab from the station.
Air: The major airport near Shimla is the Chandigarh airport which is almost 113 kilometers away. There is a small Jubbarhatti airport at a distance of 25 kilometers. But the latter functions only occasionally. So it is better to prefer the one at Chandigarh.
