Useful tips for train travellers
• Opt for the 1st AC or 2nd AC compartments for a comfortable journey. 1st AC offers spacious cabins with bedding and air-conditioning, while 2nd AC also provides quality seating with air-conditioning but has a more social atmosphere.

The station's restrooms are functional, but there may not be shower facilities, so plan your arrival accordingly to manage your comfort.

• Upon arrival at Chandigarh Airport, prepare for a short taxi ride to Shimla; it's about 117 kilometers away, and you can expect taxi fares to range between ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 depending on the type of vehicle and negotiation, so be sure to confirm the fare beforehand.
