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.
