After an 18-day suspension caused by flash floods, the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) has resumed Volvo bus services to Delhi, Chandigarh, Haridwar, and Shimla from Kullu. The restored services aim to boost connectivity and cater to commuter’s needs.
Resumption of Volvo Bus Services
- HRTC resumes Volvo bus services to Delhi, Chandigarh, Haridwar, and Shimla from Kullu.
- The suspension was caused by flash floods triggered by heavy rain in the district.
- Ordinary buses have been running on long routes, but the resumption of Volvo services will further facilitate commuters.
Updated Bus Timings
- Volvo buses from Kullu to Delhi will operate at 4.30 am, 6.30 pm, and 9.30 pm.
- For the Kullu to Chandigarh route, buses will be available at 9 am and 9 pm.
- The Kullu to Haridwar bus will depart at 6 pm, and the Kullu to Shimla Volvo bus will leave at 10.30 pm.
Revenue Boost and Alternate Routes
- The restoration of Volvo bus services is expected to increase the revenue of HRTC’s Kullu depot.
- As the Kullu to Manali national highway is still damaged, passengers will have to opt for the Volvo bus service from Manali.

With the resumption of Volvo bus services, HRTC takes a significant step in restoring transportation connectivity and convenience for travelers in the region. Commuters can now avail themselves of the improved services on popular routes, enhancing their travel experience.
