Kangra District Directory: DC Office, Bus Stands, Exam Centres

Updated Oct 11, 2026

Deputy Commissioner's Office, Kangra at Dharamshala

The Deputy Commissioner (DC) is the principal district administrator for Kangra, and the district headquarters is at Dharamshala. The DC office handles a wide range of district-level functions, including revenue administration, land records, licensing, and coordination between departments.

If you need to visit in person, treat the official district website as your starting point rather than a third-party listing. Office timings, holidays, and which counter handles which service can change, and only the district administration can confirm them.

  • Check the official district site for the current office address, phone numbers, and working hours.
  • Look for the specific branch or section that deals with your work before travelling.
  • Carry original documents plus photocopies, since requirements vary by service.
  • Confirm whether an appointment or online application is needed first.

Bus Stands: Dharamshala and Kangra

Kangra district has two major bus stands that most residents and visitors use: the Dharamshala bus stand and the Kangra bus stand. Both connect to routes across the district and to other parts of Himachal Pradesh and neighbouring states.

Bus schedules, platform numbers, and route timings are not fixed and can change with season, weather, and road conditions. Do not rely on an old timetable or a screenshot.

  • For current departure times and routes, check with the bus stand enquiry counter or the transport department.
  • Mountain routes can be affected by rain, snow, and landslides, so allow extra time.
  • Keep small change and confirm the fare and destination before boarding.
  • For HRTC-related queries, use official transport department channels.
