Topic Approved.

I've been to Mussoorie - Dhanaulti atleast 4 times, if not more..

Route - 1
NH-1 (Delhi - Karnal - Pipli - Paonta Sahib - YamunaNagar - Dehradun - Mussoorie - Dhanaulti).

You have to take the right turn from the Pipli red light and then ride onto Paonta Sahib; then from there you can easily reach YamunaNagar.

There is yet another route that people take, but I personally don't quite prefer that one because of both the road and the traffic condition prevailing in UP. Just in case you are looking for that route though, here it is:

Route - 2
Delhi - Ghaziabad - Modinagar - Meerut - Muzzafarnagar - Roorkee - Haridwar - Rishikesh - Tehri - Mussoorie - Dhanaulti.

The things you would mostly be taking for emergency are - tubes (in case of tube-type tyres), or tubeless puncture sealant kits (in case of tubeless tyres), accelerator and clutch cable and the toolkit. However, all I used to take whenever I used to ride there on my P-180 Classic was JUST my toolkit.. I am yet to make my P-200's debut run to Dhanaulti!

As for accomodation options in Dhanaulti, there is not much, really apart from one (or was it two?) hotels and a GMVN tourist guest house (which you can book online by going HERE)

That is mostly all you would need; and the roads from Mussoorie to Dhanaulti is heaven! Pure heaven.. (I am not so sure about the condition as of now though).

Enjoy the ride and bring back some marvelous pictures.

really thankful for ur suggestions!
we are planning to take the ghaziabad route. and
the route u r mentioning via panipat is it double lane route upto paonta sahib? unlike via UP it is single road all upto ddn.
plz throw some light on route via panipat.
as i m leaving in moti nagar i.e west delhi, i m really thankful to u if u can provide me the detail map or suggest me good url link frm where i can download a map!

Yes, the NH-1 is a very well laid out piece of tarmac. The road from Pipli till YamunaNagar is a bit in shambles because of the traffic, but then the rest of the route is pretty good, with proper divider in-between and stuff..

And moreover since you reside in West Delhi, it would be a cake-walk to take the GT Karnal road.. (I also live in West Delhi, hence, I've always preferred the NH-1 instead of going through UP!)..

yaar if u can provide me detailed map i wil b very thankful as it will also make my parents trust on me bcz it is a real tough challenge to turn them in our favour and the small things like maps etc will make them feel k "yes our son is preparing good for tht".

Okay! Here is the map of the route that you plan to take; perhaps this will help convice your parents.

thanks alot for ur effort!
as u r suggesting me to reach ddn via pipli-paonta sahib route so can u plz provide tht route map also

You bugger!

I cannot seem to find that map..Do a Google search, probably something might show up! Do a little search yourself; now, do you want ME to literally go and drop you to Dhanaulti!

yaar thts wht iam doing frm last 2 hrs and havnt find any map to ddn via pipli, so i asked u in hope tht u might hav tht map , bcz u visited tht place more than twice!!!!

Yes, I visited that place, I have the "Outlook Traveler" which I seek everything from, including the distance chart, the map, et al..

Anyhow, since you are planning to take the Meerut route, that map is already provided, which is pretty much you need really. Moreover, even without the actual map, you can reach through NH-1 (in-case you are inclined to ride through that route).

neways thanks alot!

i just find tht yahoo maps is good option!
