Sach Pass Road
Is the Traila - Killar road via Sach Pass now motorable?
If yes, how wide is it? |

4WD road?

Its jeepable and some say that it is 4WD-rive-able. Rumours of a bus service have made the rounds... no confirmed news. . .

It can only be attempted on a Jeep. That to when there is no snow on the Road (i.e July/Aug /Sep). Road Still is Narrow Upto Udaipur (Lahul ValleY), Goes Along the Chandrabagha River.

I think that the road is motorable as there is a bus route from Chamba to Killar but the pass is not open till date. On 22nd, I inquired it from Chamba Bus stand and they said that buses will start plying when Pass opens and that is likely to happen in first week of July.

Thanks for the Valuable Input.
But i Still Dont Inderstand Y they Dont Open the Pass early as it Holds Strategic Advantage for the Army. It reduces the Disatnce to leh from Pathankot by approx 300 kms |

23rd : Delhi-Dalhousie
24th : Dalhousie-Sach Pass and beyond Dalhousie to Sach Pass is around 174km - 6 to 7 hours riding. I m still trying to get details for night stop after Sach Pass 25th : Night stop to Jispa (21km from Keylong) 26th : Jispa to Leh (344km - 10-11hours) 27th : Leh (get permits, see around) 28th : Leh-Ktop. I was thinking, we could be back in Leh by around 12 noon from Ktop. Why not leave for Pangong Tso and stay the night there? 29th : Pangong-Sarchu 30th : Sarchu-Manali 31st : Manali-Delhi This is the tentative plan Leh riders : Inputs will be more than appreciated |

Killar can be a ideal spot for Night Halt. Also a Fellow India Miker "anshuzsnowy7" had posted in some other thread in case one is Coming from Pathankot to Sach pass, need not go to Chamba , So u can explore that option as well.
Rest UR trip Sounds Gr8 Happy Biking !! Last edited by Balvar : Jul 9th, 2008 at 12:09. Reason: Spelling's |
