bhakhra is not a problem right now and no permit issues if u go anadpur- naina devi-bhakhra road.
The only thing that u cannot cross the bridge, the dam...not even on foot. While approaching the dma u have to go downhill and then come back via another bridge to the other side of dam... But man....that is awesome i say...u see the barrage, the gates, the vastness of the dam...
must do ....must go...

Will update the thread if they do allow us. It would be amazing if they do
Have had a fixation with Bhakra dam since i saw its grainy black and white photo in my class 3 text book (The chapter on Punjab -- or was it temples of modern India)Leave a comment:

Yes, it is possible. But you have to cross the dam to take the road to Una. We were not allowed to cross it (over the bridge). They said we needed permissions, whereas I saw a bus coming from the opposite direction. Even if you are not allowed to cross, you can descend to Nangal and take the Una road from there.
The Anandpur-Naina devi road is ~17-18Km and Naina devi - Bhakra is 25 kmsLeave a comment:

Thanks Mr GoogleOriginally posted by kurtrules View Post
I checked out the route. From Anandpur Sahib-Naina Devi-Bhakra - Una onwards is possible.. Right ? (I mean, Click <Search>)
Final destination being Dharamsala/Dalhousie(will decide during the ride)
My inlaws are adamant that i visit Naina Devi temple.

I went there around 6 years ago. At that time it was pretty simple. At the ascend of the climb after Nangal, there is a checkpost which issues permits, on per person basis. Some 20-30 INR was the charge at that time. But now they say, that the permits are not issues easily. They try to restrict people from going there, security concerns I guess. You can try and go through the Anandpur Sahib - Naina devi - Bhakra road, which is more scenic and I don't remember seeing any check post there.Leave a comment:

Has anyone ever been to Bhakra dam (supposed to be 13km upstream from Nangal township which is ahead of kiratpur sahib)
Would like to know if its a hassle to go there. It will be on the way for my ride this weekend and would like to have a dekko if it doesnt involve getting down from the bike

Shimla is best avoided, trust meOriginally posted by Parth View PostAnd not visit shimla?
I've never been to shimla, so I don't know what it's like, if it is like mussoorie with it's swarm of foreign tourists then I have no intention of going there, but if it's a little quieter like Lansdowne then I wouldn't want to miss visiting

Hey guys,
We're about to go to Manali next week. Just wanted to know about the weather, traffic & road conditions there. If someone could provide the recent info or based on their experience about this time of the year, it would be a help for us
We'll be riding to Rohtang Pass and Manikaran there. Any other spot recommended to pay a visit? Any sort of info about those spots, accomodation, route and stuff will be appriciated
We'll be on this trip for 5 or 3 days. Can't decide b/w those right now coz of some reason, so suggest according to bothLeave a comment:

Neither. Take the following route:
Chandigarh - Dharampur - Sabathu - Kunihar - Bhrampukhar - Ghaghas - Sundernagar.
Look it up over the map. It would mostly be devoid of any traffic.Leave a comment:

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?Leave a comment:
