My sister has a PhD interview scheduled on 1st June morning at IIT Mandi (CQST department). She will be traveling from IIT Guwahati after finishing another interview there on 30th May.

Right now we are very confused about the route and safety. At the moment, she is thinking of taking a flight to Delhi and then traveling from Delhi to Mandi by bus. But that would probably involve night travel, and since she will be alone, we are worried about security and overall safety.

We are also confused about how to reach IIT Mandi after reaching Mandi, whether buses/cabs/Uber are easily available there, and how safe and reliable everything is.

Unfortunately, I cannot travel with her due to urgent work, so the whole situation is making us quite tense.

Can anyone please guide us regarding the safest and most practical route?

Feel free to ask about:
