About City Public School

City Public School is a recognized educational institution located in Nabha (near Phagli / Tutikandi area), Shimla, Himachal Pradesh (PIN: 171004). The school serves as an examination center for state board offline/written exams, open schooling evaluations, and local competitive assessment drives. The institution features standardized examination rooms, candidate verification desks, organized seating arrangements aligned with examination board standards, and reliable power backup setups. Situated along the hilly slopes below the main Shimla town core near Nabha and Tutikandi, the venue offers a focused academic setting. Basic student amenities including xerox stalls for printing hall tickets, stationery counters, and local tea/snack shops operate along the local access roads and main market junctions nearby. For hotel accommodations, guest houses, and multi-course dining, candidates can explore the central hubs around the ISBT Tutikandi area, Victory Tunnel, or the Mall Road / Cart Road belt.

How To Reach City Public School

Comprehensive location and transport guide

Nearest Airport

  • Nearest Airport: The primary domestic air terminal serving the region is Shimla Airport (SLV) at Jubbarhatti, located roughly 18 to 22 km southwest of the school. Outstation candidates flying into Jubbarhatti reach the school by hiring a direct mountain cab via the Shimla–Jubbarhatti Road or taking an airport shuttle into Shimla city (Tutikandi ISBT) and transferring to a local taxi/auto. Another major gateway with broader connectivity is Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) in Chandigarh (~115 to 120 km south), from where candidates travel onward via intercity buses or taxis down NH 5.
  • How to Reach: From Shimla (Jubbarhatti) Airport, hire a private taxi straight through Tutikandi to Nabha. Alternatively, take an airport bus or cab to the New ISBT Tutikandi and catch a local connecting taxi, auto-rickshaw, or city bus up to Nabha.
  • Estimated Fare: A private taxi directly from Shimla Airport to Nabha will cost around ₹800 to ₹1,400. Taking a local HRTC bus from the ISBT keeps total travel expenses under ₹50 per passenger.

Railway Station

  • Main and Local Railway Station: The nearest narrow-gauge heritage rail connection is Shimla Railway Station (SML) on the Kalka–Shimla UNESCO World Heritage line, located just 1.5 to 2.5 km north of Nabha. The main broad-gauge railway station for national express trains across India is Kalka Railway Station (KLK), situated about 85 to 90 km downhill. Outstation candidates arriving by train at Kalka can transfer to the toy train up to Shimla or take a direct intercity HRTC bus/cab up NH 5.
  • How to Reach: Step out of the exit gates at Shimla Railway Station (Cart Road) to find local taxis and auto-rickshaws, or walk down to Cart Road to catch a direct local bus down to Nabha.
  • Estimated Fare: Hiring a private local taxi from Shimla Railway Station directly to City Public School in Nabha will cost around ₹200 to ₹350. Taking a shared bus or local connection costs under ₹20.

Metro Station

Metro Connectivity is Not Available in This Area

Bus Connectivity

  • Main and Local Bus Stand: The major intercity bus terminal for the state is the New ISBT Tutikandi (Shimla), located just 2.5 to 4 km southwest of Nabha. The older Old Bus Stand (Cart Road) is situated about 2 to 3 km northeast. For local drops, the Nabha Bus Stop or Phagli Crossroad serves as the immediate neighborhood drop point. From the Nabha drop point, the school entrance is within a short 3 to 5-minute walk along the local access road.
  • Bus Routes: Local HRTC city buses and private mini-buses run frequently along Cart Road, connecting the New ISBT (Tutikandi), Old Bus Stand, Phagli, Nabha, and Boileauganj. Board any local city bus heading towards Nabha / Phagli from either the New ISBT or Old Bus Stand and ask the conductor to drop you off at Nabha.
  • Estimated Fare: Boarding a local HRTC city bus or taking a shared local taxi seat from the New ISBT Tutikandi or Old Bus Stand to Nabha costs around ₹10 to ₹25 per seat.

Local Taxi / Auto

  • Auto/Taxi Availability: Traditional street-hail local taxis (tourist and local black-top cabs) and auto-rickshaws operate actively across Shimla, especially around ISBT Tutikandi, the Railway Station, Cart Road, and Nabha. Mobile app-based cab services (like Uber or Ola) do not operate in Shimla, so hailing a regular local street cab or reserving a taxi at the ISBT/Station stand is the standard choice.
  • Local Transport: Since the venue is located in Nabha (near Tutikandi/Phagli), the smartest and most direct route on exam day is to arrive at the New ISBT Tutikandi or Shimla Railway Station, board a direct local HRTC bus or shared taxi bound for Nabha, and get dropped off right near the school entrance.
