zingbus launches Chyll as bookings to offbeat destinations surge 90% year-on-year

India’s leading intercity mobility platform, zingbus, has launched Chyll, a packaged travel offering that combines intercity bus travel, last-mile connectivity, curated stays, and local guides into a single booking experience.

The launch comes amid rising demand for experiential and offbeat travel across India, with bookings to such destinations on the zingbus platform growing by over 90 per cent year-on-year. The momentum is further supported by the government’s continued focus on tourism infrastructure, regional connectivity, and intercity transport expansion under the Union Budget 2026–27.

Designed to simplify leisure travel beyond just ticket booking, Chyll offers integrated intercity travel with end-to-end services including intercity bus travel & last-mile connectivity, handpicked stays, guided experiences, and on-ground assistance. Travellers heading to destinations such as Jibhi or Shangarh often need to separately arrange local transport, accommodation, and discovery experiences after reaching a transit point. The platform brings all these elements together into one seamless checkout flow.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Prashant Kumar, Co-founder of zingbus  said, “The bus ticket was never the full journey. For travellers heading to offbeat destinations, the real challenge begins after the booking. Chyll has been designed to simplify that entire journey through one integrated booking experience, from seamless last-mile connectivity to reliable stays and meaningful local experiences.” 

The offering builds on zingbus’s existing last-mile connectivity service, Offbeat, which currently operates across 80+ locations spanning six states and two union territories. Chyll has launched initially in Jibhi and Shangarh, with plans to expand to additional destinations across North and South India in the coming months.

Unlike traditional ticketing platforms focused only on transportation, zingbus is expanding its role across the entire travel journey through an asset-light, franchise-led model that includes mobility, stays, and local experiences. The platform also offers Rentals, enabling families and groups to book entire buses for community and leisure travel.

zingbus has facilitated over 10 million journeys across 300+ cities in 20+ states through partnerships with more than 60 operators and continues to expand its electric bus network across high-demand corridors.

With Chyll, zingbus aims to move beyond ticketing and build a more connected, end-to-end intercity travel experience for India’s growing base of leisure traveller.
