Gaggal — officially Kangra Airport (DHM) — is Himachal Pradesh's main air gateway for Dharamshala and the Kangra valley. It's a small mountain airport with limited operating hours, weather-dependent flights, and no real taxi infrastructure of its own. That's where we come in.
DHM cancels flights routinely in fog and monsoon. If your flight diverts to Amritsar, we can pivot to an ATQ pickup at short notice.
Just 15 km from DHM to Dharamshala and 20 km to McLeodganj. Bir (paragliding) is 55 km further out — regular destinations for us.
We handle onward runs from Gaggal to Manali (250 km, 6h) or back to Amritsar / Pathankot as end-of-tour drops.
Every onward route from Gaggal / Kangra Airport has a fixed one-way fare. Times below assume normal traffic and clear roads.

DHM diverts flights to Amritsar (ATQ) fairly regularly due to Himachal fog and low visibility. Message us the moment you know — we'll pivot to ATQ pickup with the same driver rate.
