Friends, if you want to come by train, then the nearest railway station to Manali is Chandigarh Junction Railway Station. You come to Chandigarh and from Chandigarh, friends, you will have to reach Manali by travelling by road for about 300 km. Apart from this, you have no other option. So Chandigarh is the railway station at the minimum distance, so you come to Chandigarh and from here you can reach Manali directly. Another big option is also available to you, which is Delhi. You can come to Manali from Delhi also, but to reach Manali by road from Delhi, you get the facility of Volvo bus which departs from Kashmiri Gate of Delhi and you get a 12-hour semi-sleeper Volo bus. You will get a flight and it will drop you at Manali in 12 hours. So if you travel overnight, that is, you board from Kashmiri Gate in Delhi at 8 or 9 in the evening, then let us assume that you will reach Manali around 8 or 9 in the morning the next day. So you also have this option, if you go directly from Delhi it takes about six to seven hours because the distance is less from here. So the first option you had was that if you are coming by train, then what option will you have? If I talk about the second option, friends, then it is your flight. Friends, the destinations for flights are also the same. Chandigarh is your minimum airport and at the same time, if you are coming to Delhi, then you can also get down from Delhi airport and reach Manali by doing a 500 km road journey to Manali. So these were the things that friends, how do we have to reach Manali?
