Every year, thousands of people travel from Delhi, Chandigarh, Amritsar and cities across Punjab and Haryana to Kayakalp Palampur — the Himalayan Research Institute for Yoga and Naturopathy run by Vivekananda Medical Research Trust in the Kangra valley. They come for Panchkarma, naturopathy treatments, yoga intensives, weight management programmes and drugless therapy for conditions ranging from arthritis and joint pain to digestive disorders, skin diseases, asthma and stress. Many of them arrive exhausted, uncomfortable and delayed — because they booked a train to Pathankot and a shared taxi to Palampur, or a bus from Chandigarh that reached two hours late. Getting to a wellness retreat should not itself be an ordeal.
YourTripDriver provides dedicated cab service from your home directly to Kayakalp's reception gate — or to any other wellness retreat, naturopathy centre, yoga ashram or Ayurveda resort in Palampur and the Kangra valley. One driver, one vehicle, your schedule. Whether you are travelling with medical equipment, a carer, elderly family members or just a suitcase full of natural food supplies, our cabs handle it — and you arrive rested, on time and ready to begin your treatment.

Why Choose a Cab Over Train or Bus to Palampur
Door-to-Door Service
We pick you up from your home in Delhi, Chandigarh or Amritsar and drop you at Kayakalp's reception. No stations, no connecting transport, no dragging luggage through crowds.
Comfort for Health Conditions
For patients with joint pain, mobility issues or post-surgery recovery, a private car with rest stops at your schedule is significantly more comfortable than train or bus.
Full Luggage Capacity

Punctual Arrival
Kayakalp schedules check-in and initial consultations at fixed times. Our drivers track your departure time to ensure on-schedule arrival — no delays, no missed appointments.
Travel with Carers
