New Route via Kiratpur-Manali Four-Lane Highway
The newly inaugurated bus services will follow a route through the recently constructed Kiratpur-Manali four-lane highway, optimizing travel times and passenger comfort.
- Time Efficiency: The journey from Hamirpur to Chandigarh is now a swift 3 hours and 50 minutes, while the route to New Delhi takes only 8 hours and 50 minutes, saving travelers valuable time.
- Economical Travel: Passengers can expect cost-effective travel, with the fare for the Volvo bus being cheaper by Rs 83 and the deluxe bus fare reduced by Rs 39 compared to other options.
Convenient Departure Times
The HRTC has carefully scheduled the departure times for maximum convenience:

- Volvo Bus: Leaves Hamirpur at 8:00 pm.
These well-timed departures allow passengers to save approximately one hour and 45 minutes of travel time on this route.
Efficient Route Details
Both buses will travel through a series of key stops, ensuring accessibility for passengers:
- Route: Bhota, Ukhali, Ghumarwin, Bagher, Kiratpur, Chandigarh, and New Delhi.
