suman, when we went to narkanda, while going we took the direct short route, i,e, from ambala turned towards Zirakpur/chandigarh.
But that road is hell due to NHAI making flyovers and all, and you will get stuck in a jam.
So the alternate route we took while coming back was Via Rajpura.
So you go towards Amritsar/Ludhiana from Ambala, and do not take the chd road.
As you hit Rajpura, take right at the main traffic signal towards Zirakpur(chandigarh road).
From Zirakpur you head towards Himachal.
It will be around 15-20kms extra along with toll tax of 45rs, but its worth it as you bypass most of the crazy construction zone.
