Flights from Canada to Delhi
Delhi is the gateway for every trip: Manali by overnight bus or short flight, Leh by a 1 h 20 m morning flight, Dehradun by train.

|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto (YYZ) | Nonstop | ≈ 14 h | Air India |
| Vancouver (YVR) | Nonstop | ≈ 15 h | Air India |
| Montreal / Calgary (YUL / YYC) | One stop | ≈ 18 h | via Toronto, Doha, Dubai or London |
Delhi → Manali
Overnight Volvo 12–14 h (₹1,200–2,500 ≈ C$19–C$40) or fly Delhi–Kullu 1 h 20 m + 1.5 h taxi.
Delhi → Leh
Nonstop 1 h 20 m, morning departures, ₹5,000–14,000 (≈ C$79–C$220). Land, rest, acclimatise.
Jet lag & altitude
India is 9h 30m–13h 30m ahead (depending on daylight saving). Add a Delhi night before heading up — altitude and jet lag stack badly.
