The human race is free spirited, it wants to explore, travel, run and fly but it doesn’t want to stop. This very innate nature in every human being has led to all the achievements and advancements of the modern world that we know of and experience each day. 2020 as a year was the start of a new decade, with new hopes and dreams for everyone and the travel community in India and around the world had big plans to travel and explore both on domestic turf and global as well, until the doomed virus caused a pandemic and put everything to a standstill. “Lockdown” became a new normal for everyone and we began to spend our days, weeks, and then months inside our home and with no respite.
After an arduous period of almost seven months, and lockdown restrictions easing up a bit in India, traveling has been revived again. During the start of the easing up of lockdown, no non-essential travel was allowed and there were strict restrictions in place all over the country. After various re-opening phases of both the economy and interstate travel, people can now think again of traveling to their favorite destinations, so it’s not all doom and gloom yet.
Over the period of a few weeks, we have received immense interest from people all over India and also from other parts of the world on our social media platforms and mail regarding travel in India and other countries. Along with many people’s interests, there were also a lot of people which were apprehensive and had lots of questions regarding safe travel amidst a pandemic.
So we are gonna answer all your burning questions and hope that we have helped you in planning out your perfect trip and bring a smile to your face.
As of now, you cannot take public transport to get to Himachal Pradesh. Your only option would be to either take your personal vehicle or rent one. The movement of interstate buses still remains suspended until further notice. However, according to some sources, the operation of interstate buses will begin after 1st October. There would be another cabinet meeting held during the last week of September or the first week of October to decide on the interstate movement of buses. The priority would be to run buses to Haridwar and Chandigarh when the interstate operations begin.
