About Mount Shivalik Junior Public School

Mount Shivalik Junior Public School is a well-regarded exam venue located in the Jubbarhatti area of Shimla. For candidates, this center offers a unique advantage: it is situated away from the famous "Shimla traffic" of the main Ridge and Mall Road areas, specifically on the Airport Road. The school is set in a peaceful, hilltop environment, which is perfect for keeping your pre-exam nerves at bay. While it is about 20–22 km from the main Shimla city center, its proximity to the airport makes it a landmark that is very easy to identify. If you are staying in the heart of Shimla, you should account for the winding hill roads and plan for a 45 to 60-minute commute to ensure you reach comfortably before your reporting time.

How To Reach Mount Shivalik Junior Public School

Comprehensive location and transport guide

Nearest Airport

  • Shimla Airport (Jubbarhatti - SLV): This is the closest domestic airport, located just 2 km from the school. Note: Flights here are often seasonal and weather-dependent. Chandigarh International Airport (IXC) is the major alternative, located about 120 km away.
  • How to reach: If you land at Shimla Airport, you are practically at the center’s doorstep. A quick 5-minute local taxi ride will cost around ₹150–₹200. If you arrive via Chandigarh, hiring a private taxi is the most reliable option (approx. ₹3,000–₹4,000).

Railway Station

  • Kalka Railway Station (KLK): Kalka Railway Station (KLK) is the nearest broad-gauge station, located about 85 km away.
  • Local Railway Station: Shimla Railway Station (Narrow Gauge/Toy Train) is about 20 km away.
  • How to reach: Most candidates coming from Delhi or Chandigarh arrive at Kalka. From Kalka, you can take a taxi directly to the school (approx. 2.5 hours, fare ₹2,500–₹3,200) or enjoy the famous Toy Train to Shimla and then take a local taxi. From the Shimla local station, a private taxi to the school will cost roughly ₹600–₹800. Tell the driver: "Jubbarhatti Airport Road, Mount Shivalik School jana hai."

Metro Station

Metro Connectivity is Not Available in This Area

Bus Connectivity

  • Shimla ISBT (Tutikandi): Shimla ISBT (Tutikandi) is the primary inter-state hub, located about 18 km from the school.
  • Bus Routes: State-run HRTC buses and local private buses ply regularly between the Shimla ISBT and Jubbarhatti. Look for buses heading toward the "Airport" or "Jubbarhatti." The fare is very economical, usually between ₹30 and ₹50.

Local Taxi / Auto

  • App-based services: App-based services like Uber have started limited operations in Shimla Urban, but they may be unreliable for remote areas like Jubbarhatti. Ola and Rapido are generally not available here. From Railway Station to Center: From Shimla Station, local taxi unions are the best bet. A dedicated taxi will charge about ₹700. From Bus Stand to Center: From ISBT Tutikandi, you can find a taxi stand right outside. Expect to pay ₹600–₹750 for a private cab.
