How to Reach Bharmour
By air
Kangra Airport is a regional option, but the onward road journey is long. For Bharmour, continue by road and keep the arrival day light enough to reach Chaurasi Temple Complex only if daylight permits.
By train
Pathankot Cantt is the main broad-gauge railhead, followed by a road journey via Chamba. The final transfer to Bharmour should be planned separately from the train schedule because hill-road timings vary.
By road
Bharmour is reached by road from Chamba. Landslides, rain and roadwork can affect the route. Use Chaurasi Temple Complex as the first local navigation point and confirm the final approach with the accommodation or district authority.
Popular Tours Featuring Bharmour
