About the drive
There are two roads from Chandigarh to Jalandhar, and both take about three hours. The first goes through Kharar, Kurali and Ropar, then Nawanshahr, Banga and Phagwara. The second takes the Kharar–Samrala highway to Ludhiana and then NH-44 through Phillaur and Phagwara. The driver picks one on the day: the Ropar road avoids Ludhiana traffic, and the NH-44 road is wider at night.
The Ropar route passes Khatkar Kalan near Banga, the ancestral village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, where the museum and memorial make a worthwhile 30-minute stop. Nawanshahr and Banga are the usual tea breaks.
This route is busy with Doaba family visits, weddings in Jalandhar's marriage palaces, and students. Lovely Professional University sits on NH-44 just before Phagwara, and on move-in days it helps to have a larger car for hostel luggage. Tell us if you have trunks or a cooler to carry, and we will send an Ertiga or Crysta.
If you are catching a train, check whether it leaves from Jalandhar City or Jalandhar Cantt; the stations are on opposite sides of town. Winter fog around Ropar and the Sutlej can slow early mornings, so leave extra time for morning trains.
