Do I need to do advance booking for HPTDC volvo bus well in advance. If I do not get the HPTDC ticket on the spot, are there any other private good bus services that I can use. Also how much time it takes to reach Chanderlok building at Janpath from delhi domestic airport on week day in the evening time. Many Thanks, Viren Hi,

Also it would be best if she takes HRTC Volvo, instead of HPTDC one. Since the HPTDC volvo reaches quite early and drops its passengers at the beginning of the town!

As per my knowledge the HRTC Volvos do it slightly faster, but if you are leaving at 9:30pm from Delhi, do you really want to reach before 6-7am? As for Delhi International Airport to Chanderlok building, it can take any where from an hour to couple of hours or more, depending on traffic.

We are arriving Delhi at 6:30 A.M, based on HRTC schedule there is a Volvo bus leaving at 9:30 A.M. Would we be able to catch this bus? How far Chanderlok building from Delhi International Airport? How much time it would take if we catch a taxi at the airport? Would you suggest us to purchase tickets on-line so that we will have confirmed seats? Thanks for your prompt response. We are planning to visit Shimla in June for 4 days. It is only 380 KM from Delhi, does it really take 9 hrs to reach Shimla?

You are right that it is still away from majority of hotels, but a little closer to the lift. Thanks Arun, I did think that the HRTC Volvos went till the bus stand.
