Through Delhi–Manali–Leh model, the company aims to open high-interest but logistically challenging destinations to a wider segment of Indian travellers.
zingbus reported a fivefold year-on-year increase in bookings for its Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib corridor. This growth is attributed to the performance of Chyll by zingbus, the brand’s platform for integrated travel experiences. Chyll by zingbus is now extending its curated travel model to Leh via the Delhi–Manali–Leh corridor.
The growth comes as the Valley of Flowers National Park enters its brief annual blooming season, when the UNESCO World Heritage Site draws travellers for its alpine meadows, waterfalls and Himalayan landscape.
“India has no shortage of extraordinary destinations. The larger challenge is making them simple, reliable and comfortable to reach,” said Prashant Kumar, Co-founder and CEO, zingbus. “The fivefold growth we have witnessed on this corridor indicates that the potential audience for Himalayan travel is significantly larger when the planning and logistical barriers are removed.”
Travel to destinations such as the Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib typically requires visitors to independently coordinate long-distance buses, local vehicles, accommodation, meals and multiple transfers. This complexity can discourage travellers who are interested in visiting the region but may not have the experience or time required to plan the journey.
Through Chyll by zingbus, these elements are brought together under a single itinerary, making remote Himalayan destinations more accessible to travellers beyond experienced trekkers and organised groups.
“Planning the journey independently would have meant coordinating several bookings and transfers across unfamiliar locations. Having the transport, stay and meals organised allowed us to focus on the trek and the overall experience,” said Rohit Tanwar, a Chyll traveller who completed the journey in June.
The expansion into the Delhi–Manali–Leh corridor reflects zingbus’ broader effort to connect intercity road travel with complete destination experiences. Through this model, the company aims to open up high interest but logistically challenging destinations to a wider segment of Indian travellers.
