How To Reach Green Hills Engineering College

Comprehensive location and transport guide

Detailed Overview
3.1 ★
The Green Hills Engineering College (GHEC) is a premier technical institution located in the serene hills of Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Situated in Gandhigram, Kumarhatti, on the Nahan-Solan Road, this college serves as a significant landmark and a frequent venue for various state and national-level examinations. The campus is spread across a lush green landscape, providing a calm and refreshing atmosphere that is ideal for students during stressful exam days. Its location in Kumarhatti is strategic, as it sits near the junction connecting Chandigarh, Shimla, and Nahan, making it a central point for candidates traveling from different parts of North India. While it is tucked away from the main city's congestion, the college is well-equipped with modern infrastructure, ensuring a smooth experience for those appearing for computer-based or offline tests.

Connectivity & Transport

Nearest Airport

  • Chandigarh International Airport (IXC): he Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) in Chandigarh is the primary air link to the college, located approximately 60–65 km away. Under normal traffic conditions, the drive from Chandigarh Airport to the Gandhigram campus takes about 1.5 to 2 hours via the Himalayan Expressway. This airport serves as a major gateway, connecting the Solan region to all significant Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
  • How to Reach: The most convenient way to reach the college from the airport is by booking an app-based cab (Uber/Ola) or a private taxi directly from the terminal, costing roughly ₹1,500–₹2,200. For a more economical journey, you can take an airport shuttle to the Sector 43 ISBT in Chandigarh and board any Shimla-bound HRTC or private bus. Ask the conductor to drop you at Kumarhatti, from where the college is a short 10-minute taxi ride away.

Railway Station

  • Chandigarh Railway Station: Chandigarh Railway Station (CDG) is the most practical major broad-gauge railhead for candidates, located approximately 55–60 km from the college. While the Kalka-Shimla heritage toy train stops at the Kumarhatti Dagshai station (just 2 km away), the travel time from Kalka is very long, making the Chandigarh-road route the preferred choice for most.
  • Kalka (KLK): For broad-gauge trains, Kalka (KLK) is the main station, situated approximately 35–40 km away.
  • How to Reach: Upon exiting Chandigarh Railway Station, you can hire a private taxi directly to the college. Alternatively, take an auto-rickshaw to the Sector 43 ISBT and board a bus heading towards Shimla. Get down at the Kumarhatti Bypass and take a local taxi for the final 3 km to the campus. Fare Estimate: A private taxi from Chandigarh Railway Station to Green Hills College usually costs between ₹1,200 and ₹1,800.
