Jagson Airlines has flights from Delhi to Shimla.Himachal Pradesh by Road
It is difficult to construct and maintain new roads in the hilly areas of the state. Most of the important places of Himachal Pradesh are well connected with the roadways. Few of the roads get closed during winters and monsoon seasons due to snowfall and landslides. Regular bus services connect Shimla with Chandigarh, Kullu, Manali, Delhi, Mandi, Pathankot, Amble, Chail and Dehradun. Local taxis are the major local transport here.Himachal Pradesh By Rail
Himachal Pradesh is not very well connected by railways as it is not easy to construct railwaylines in the high altitude and rugged terrain. ThePathankot-Jogindernagar line is the longest railway
line connecting Punjab with Himachal Pradesh. The other railway tracks pass through Shimla, Solan and Una. Shimla is connected with Kalka by a narrow gaugerailway line, which in turn is connected with the major cities in India.
