8th june - Delhi-Haridwar-Rishikesh-Dehradoon-maybe mussoorie too(depends on conditions)

9th - Dehradun/Mussoorie-New Tehri

10th - New Tehri-Pauri/Khirsu

Just 1 question, how's the road from mussoorie to tehri?

**smoker n doper** · 05-16-2011, 01:36 AM

From Mussourie to Tehri the roads are Plain Awesome if you are taking the route ( Mussourie - Dhanaulti - Chamba - Tehri ). The stretch from Chamba to Tehri is a bit on a rougher side but thats only 19kms !
and Mussourie to Tehri is around 80 kms.
You can also visit Dhanaulti's Eco Park.

All the best Parathey

I would suggest you to go Delhi-Karnal-Bir Pipli-Yamunanagar-Paonta Sahib-Chakrata.

Reason, the route amidst UP (the one your post says) has much traffic on it and most of it is a single road (no dividers or dividers appearing occasionally). Instead, the route via Karnal-Bir Pipli has 165kms. of NH-1 which is will be much better to ride on. Then after Bir Pipli, leaving the National Highway you will head towards Yamunanagar. Before Yamunanagar, you'll have some bad patches for around 30kms. But after crossing Yamunanagar, its quite silent and calm route with very less traffic.

You can cover Mussoorie and Dehradun while returning from Chakrata and may follow the same route from Dehradun-Paonta and on.. or if you want, you can even experience the other route (amidst UP) also.

Ummm.. a year back, the karnal-yamunanagar-paonta road was absolutely horrible. In some places there were no tarred sections.
Regarding the UP Road - Not True. The new 4 laner highway makes travelling a breeze. The only paint points are the muradnagar traffic. The 4 laner ends some 20 odd km before Roorkee. You can take a roorkee bypass which is a little difficult to find (starts just after a green building where trucks pay toll) and then you join the Saharanpur road. Decent road. Then a Right onto the Dehradun highway through the forest and some 15 or 20kms of hill riding - you are in DDN. DDN to Mussoorie is fine.
From Mussoorie to Chakrata there is a beautiful road which bypasses Paonta Sahib. Take that. Some awesome hairpins.

LOL! You route you took from Karnal to Ynr. is via Indri

That route never changes

Its been the same for last 10 years just like what you've experienced

Thats why I suggested Via Bir Pipli where you'll NOT pass through Indri and the bad patch you get (30kms. I mentioned there) is near-about Ladwa-Ynr.

And, about the UP Road info., I just wrote what I was told by Mr. Kurt while I asked him about the route for my Mussoorie trip (you can read the experience in my signature text).

Ok. Didn't know about the Bir Pipli road. About the UP Road, yes Kurt would have been right till a few months back. It was a nightmare last year in September. This year, in April, i happened to go to DDN again, and was surprised to see the new highway complete. Its awesome.

Yes,the highway from Delhi-Dehradun is awesome! I came to Dehradun 10 days back and it took me just 5 hours from Noida to reach here (which include 15 break at Roorkee).The highway is much better than what it used to be.You can hit 120 on the some stretches while cruising at 80-90kph is easy.Only bother are the roads 20-30km before Roorkee where there are no dividers at all.Riding alone is nightmarish! Truckers/Roadways buses treat bikers like nobody.I was nearly run over twice by roadways buses on that stretch.Now I have found a trick,i.e,to follow a car..Atleast,cars get their attention..

Okay, Nice to know that the road is re-built to such conditions.

Log has been completed bro, good luck on your trip

**Parth** · 06-24-2011, 05:04 PM

So I'm thinking of heading out again, this time I think himachal side, I have heard a lot about loads of places in HP but the thing is I have just 3 days for the ride.

The way I see it, I can reach chadigarh in 3.5-4 hours, if I start at 3 in the night, I'd be sitting in CHD by 7 with almost a full day ride to look forward to

I'm thinking about sundernagar, my friend has relatives there and he's been pestering me to ride alongwith him till there. Now chd-sundernagar is 170kms that is about 6 hours of riding taken that my average speed in the hills remain about 30km/h, but that would mean that we'd reach there by 1 in the noon.

So, I plan to take an alternate route, CHD-Shimla-Sundernagar. Now he question in my mind is which route to take ? THIS 1 OR THIS 2

I prefer secluded routes over the road traveled by many, so option 2 would be my preferred choice but I really don't know how the roads up there will be.

Any help?
