About the Chandigarh to Patiala route
Patiala is about 75 km from Chandigarh and usually takes an hour and a half to two hours. The road leaves Tricity through Zirakpur and runs south-west on NH-7 through Banur, so Zirakpur and Panchkula pickups get going particularly quickly.
Rajpura is on the same side of Tricity and closer, about 46 km through Zirakpur and Banur, usually just over an hour. It is booked the same way, and Rajpura and Patiala can be combined in one trip if you have stops in both.
Patiala was the capital of the old princely state, and trips here range from family visits and Punjabi University business to a day around Qila Mubarak and the Moti Bagh palace. The drive is short enough that a same-day return with the car waiting is the usual plan.
Good to know before you travel
- The Zirakpur stretch at the start is the slowest part of the trip at peak hours. An early or mid-morning start avoids most of it.
- If you have stops in both Rajpura and Patiala, tell us both when you enquire so the running is in the quote.
- Winter fog on the plains can slow early departures in December and January. For a morning appointment in Patiala, allow a buffer.
- For a same-day return, let us know how long you need in Patiala so the waiting time is written into the quote.
