About This Route
Chandigarh to Jalandhar is one of the shorter and more comfortable outstation drives in Punjab — about 148 km, covered in roughly 3 hours via NH-344A through Kurali, Ropar, and Nawanshahr. This is the newer, faster route; it bypasses Ludhiana's city and industrial traffic entirely, which used to add a good 30–40 minutes to the older NH-44 route via Phillaur.
We run this route daily for a mix of travellers: families visiting relatives in Jalandhar Cantt or the city's civil lines area, business travellers heading to the leather and sports-goods trade hubs, and students commuting to Lovely Professional University and DAV College. It's also a common connector for flights — Jalandhar doesn't have its own airport, so a fair number of our bookings are travellers routing through Chandigarh International Airport at one end of the trip.
For a solo or two-person trip, the Toyota Glanza at ₹5,500 one way is the most economical option. The Maruti Dzire runs slightly higher at ₹6,000. Families or groups needing more space go for the Maruti Ertiga at ₹9,000, while the Innova Crysta (₹9,999) and Innova Hycross (₹10,500) suit longer trips with more luggage. The Fortuner, at ₹11,500, is the premium option for those wanting extra comfort on the highway.
