| Mode | Point | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train | Amb Andaura railway station (also cited as Chintpurni Marg), on the Nangal Dam to Daulatpur Chowk line | approx 20 km | The nearest station, a narrow-gauge line branch; useful for reaching the area but with limited services. For mainline trains, Una Himachal (approx 45 km) and Hoshiarpur in Punjab are the larger broad-gauge railheads, from where taxis and buses run up to Chintpurni. |
| Air | Kangra (Gaggal) Airport near Dharamshala | approx 80 km | The closest airport, with limited flights. Chandigarh and Amritsar airports (both roughly 160 to 175 km) offer far wider connectivity and are common entry points, followed by a road transfer. |
| Road | From Una town via Bharwain | approx 40 km | Well connected by HRTC and private buses. Hoshiarpur in Punjab is around 40 km on the other side, and the shrine lies on the main Hoshiarpur-Dharamshala highway, so many combine it with the wider Kangra Devi circuit. |
The first thing to understand about reaching Chintpurni is that the shrine sits in the Shivalik foothills with no airport or major railhead in the village, so the final leg is always by road. It lies about 3 km west of Bharwain on the Hoshiarpur to Dharamshala highway, roughly 40 km north of Una town and a similar distance from Hoshiarpur in Punjab.
By train, the nearest station is Amb Andaura, sometimes cited as Chintpurni Marg, about 20 km away on a narrow-gauge branch line with limited services. Most rail pilgrims instead use the broad-gauge railheads at Una Himachal, about 45 km off, or Hoshiarpur, and then continue by taxi or bus. By air, Kangra (Gaggal) Airport near Dharamshala is the closest at around 80 km but has few flights; Chandigarh and Amritsar, both roughly 160 to 175 km, are the practical airports with a subsequent road transfer of three to four hours.
Road is how the overwhelming majority actually arrive. HRTC and private buses connect Chintpurni with Una, Hoshiarpur, Dharamshala, Amritsar, Chandigarh and Delhi, and shared taxis ply the shorter hops. Because the shrine sits on the main highway toward Kangra, it slots naturally into a wider Devi circuit with Jwala Ji, Kangra and Chamunda, which is how many pilgrims plan the trip rather than as a standalone visit.
