Handpicked for Chandigarh Travellers
Every package below is popular with travellers flying from Chandigarh. All itineraries are fully tailor-made — durations, hotels, and activities adjusted to your dates and budget. 6 packages shown; browse all Maldives packages.
Getting There
Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) does not have a non-stop flight to Malé. Most Chandigarh travellers reach the Maldives via Delhi (DEL, around 1 hour by domestic flight), which has multiple direct flights to Malé daily. Chandigarh is also within 3–4 hours' drive of Delhi, making Delhi a highly accessible hub.
