How To Reach Himalayan University
Comprehensive location and transport guide
Detailed Overview
Connectivity & Transport
Nearest Airport
- Donyi Polo Airport: The closest flight terminal, located about 27 km from the university. Travel time typically ranges from 45 to 60 minutes depending on the winding hill roads.
- How to reach: Upon arrival, the most reliable way to reach Chimpu is by hiring a prepaid taxi or using local cab services like Rocket Cab or HurryUp Cabs. While app-based services like Uber have a presence, they are not as frequent as in metropolitan cities. A private taxi will cost you around ₹800 – ₹1,200. For a cheaper option, you can look for shared taxis that ply between the airport and Itanagar/Naharlagun for approximately ₹200 – ₹300 per seat.
Railway Station
- Naharlagun Railway Station: The nearest railhead, located about 11 to 15 km away. It takes roughly 30 minutes to reach the campus from the station.
- Fare: A private auto-rickshaw might charge ₹300 – ₹450, while a seat in a shared taxi is much more affordable at ₹50 – ₹80
Metro Station
Metro Connectivity is Not Available in This Area
Bus Connectivity
- Itanagar ISBT: The Itanagar ISBT (Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Service) is roughly 16 km away.
- Local Stop: The Chimpu Bus Stop and the Blue Hill Bus Depot (approx. 6 km away) are the closest major points.
- Bus Routes: The APSTS (State Transport) buses run frequently between Naharlagun and Itanagar. You can board any city bus heading towards Chimpu or the Forest Corporation area.
- Shared Sumos/Autos: In Itanagar, ""Tata Sumos"" act as the main local transport. You can find them at the main junctions; just ask for a ride to Chimpu
- Fare: City buses cost about ₹20 – ₹40, while a seat in a shared Sumo usually costs ₹30 – ₹50.
Local Taxi / Auto
- From Railway Station to Center: Private Taxi: ₹700 – ₹900 | Shared Sumo: ₹60 – ₹100.
- From Bus Stand to Center: Private Taxi: ₹250 – ₹400 | Shared Sumo: ₹30 – ₹50.
- App-Based Services: While app-based services like Uber are making an entry, local private taxis and Sumos are the lifeline of Itanagar, Availability can be spotty; it is safer to rely on local taxi stands or pre-booked local cab services.
- Candidate Tip: Itanagar can experience sudden rain and roadblocks during the monsoon. Since the university is in the Chimpu area, which involves a bit of an uphill drive, always aim to leave your accommodation at least 45 minutes earlier than planned.
