    Hi,

    Well I'm more keen on doing the shimla - chakrata route. Just had some queries:

    1. State of road after rohru as reading in google plays havoc in mind.
    2. From Rohru to chakrata - how much time, is it easy or difficult?

    I plan to do this in three days, starting Chandigarh & visit Rishikesh while coming back..... psbl?


    Dates fixed: departure on 9th of April at 2 pm. Back by 13th evening.
    The state of road till rohru via theog and then till tiuni is fine. Its the 80 odd kms tiuni chakrata stretch thats bad. Get your bike checked up, carry spares and you will manage easily.

    Rohru - Chakrata around 7-8 hours. Its not difficult but challenging

    Chakrata will be a bit off the route if you wanna do rishikesh. For that you would have to follow this route i.e. Tiuni-Naugaon-Vikasnagar-Haridwar-Rishikesh. So i would suggest stick to Chakrata only.

    I did it the other way round via chandigarh. But my motive was just to enjoy the ride and the journey, rather than the destination. 3 days would be sufficient, but not enuf if you want to explore rohru

    You could follow this itenarary if it suits you(ex chandigarh):

    Day 1: Chandigarh - Shimla - Rohru (220 kms)
    Day 2: Rohru - Tiuni - Chakrata (~125 kms)
    Day 3: Chakrata - Poanta - Chandigarh(205 kms)

    Quite poss

      That is nice. But I hav to return Delhi & hav another day spare..... so rishikesh could be added.
      So, if I follow Vikasnagar route to Haridwar.... I'd skip Chakrata, rite ??? How s this road....

      Another thing, is it ok to carry a pillion ?

        The road is ok. I was telling you to skip chakrata coz then you would have to go through the tiuni - chakrata patch which is bad. Both these routes get to vikas nagar , from there dehradoon is aound 30 kms.

        Fine to carry pillion.

              Brilliant thread. WIll have to dig out a lot of old photos.
              well apart from the above mentioned destinations one can also do delhi-rishikesh-devprayagd-srinagar- ukhimath-chopta- deoria tal. I did this in jan2007 and stayed the first night in devprayag and then went to Ukhimat and then explored chopta and deoria tal.

              The other place good to explore is the nauchiketa tal near Uttarkashi. And form Uttarkashi, one can go ahead to Harsil, which again is a brilliant place. The route: Delhi- rishikesh-narendra nagar-chamba-cham-uttarkashi-Harsil
              For nauchiketa tal, you can keep uttarkashi as your base.

                  Hey Aryan that's deoria tal near ukhimat in Garhwal. It falls under the Nanda Devi national park. Have mentioned the route in my post. Will write the detailed logs soon. One has to trek around 6kms to reach there.
                  Also, there is a provision of pitching the tent there. Have spent a night there and the experience is worth it.

                    My Gawd... the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th... all the pics are terrific. You should be teaching photography to us.

                    Are you sure all these places can be done in 3-4 days from Delhi? Can we also have the distances please? Thanks for your inputs.

                              Here is another 3 day trip route.

                              Day 1: Delhi-Moradabad bypass-bazpur-jim corbett-ranikhet-karnprayag-joshimath
                              550 km. Will be hectic but the road goes through amazing landscapes.

                              Day 2: joshimath-Auli and back-karnprayag-Srinagar
                              Hardly 200 km i guess.
                              Auli provides a beautiful view of the Nanda Devi. The road from Joshimath to karnprayag is slightly rocky but its adjacent to the alakhnanda river(i guess tht was the river )

                              Day 3: Srinagar-dev prayag-rishikesh-Delhi
                              Dev prayag is beautiful. Approx distance is round about 330 km +/- 20

                              Will add the pics of my trip later

                              Infact, here are the pics on picasa
