Hi Friends,
As i wrote one of my previous post, i'm planning to tour with my wife around Himachal Pradesh: Shimla > Kalpa > Kaza > Keylang > Manali.

Is this possible on October 20 and onwards?

your advises will help me to set up my itinerary.

Thanks all.

we are also doing the same tour, but from october 9th. At the End of the October rothang pass may not be open.

Rohtang and Kunzum would be the trouble spots, apart from them, there shouldn't be any issue

Last year, rohtang was open up to third week of nov. and few days back, I got answer on IM, that kunjum la was also open up to third week of nov.

last year last cars from Manali to Kaza went on 23 novemnber.

Thanks guys for your reply.

If the Kunzum Pass stay closed, we will have to reverse our journey from Kaza to Shimla.

do i need to advance our journey date? because I dont want to take any chance.

Is September be a safe time to travel Kunzum and Rohtang?

And dear de.math - can you let me know your itinerary.

Thanks

September & for that matter of Fact of ist week of Oct is pretty safe. But u never know of freak weather. last year the Raid - Himalaya Rally was called neat patseio due to snowfall on the circuit. Last to last year i was in kaza in first week of October. the waether & roads were pretty Gud

12: Reckong Peo->Nako->Kalpa(stay)

Day 12 of your Plans seems to be changed a little, y u want to come back to Kalpa after visit Nako the same day. U can reconsider the same

Also in case ur not planning to visit places around kyelong, then u can stay at Koksar rather than going to kyelong & then gain coming back to the same route to go to Manali

de.math · Jul 19th, 2008, 09:27

Oh,sorry sorry,that my mistake..

12:reckong peo->kalpa
13:nako->tabo

and I'll prefer keylong...thanx for ur concern.

anybody stays at Renuka wildlife accommodation?

Dilliwala · Jul 21st, 2008, 03:28

Renuka wildlife accom?

Do you mean the FRH of Forest Dept?

There is a nice HPTDC hotel overlooking the lake.

de.math · Jul 21st, 2008, 08:44

I read in the internet there is a forest resthouse at Renuka Wildlife sanctuary..!:O

How can I book it and the rate?what is the distance between Shimla and Renuka?

Dilliwala · Jul 21st, 2008, 21:26

You can book it thru concerned DFO for the area. I don't know whether that is Nahan or at Renuka itself. I also don't know whether they'll accept bookings by fone.

Kando · Aug 25th, 2008, 09:45

Hello Prat, I just started planning my trip to HP. I am arriving in Delhi on Oct 20. Plan to start from Shimla on Oct 23. Could you share your trip plan? Do you have any info on the HPTDC Home Stay programs-- are they safe and reliable?
Thanks.

vasuki · Aug 28th, 2008, 02:18

Can be booked through the office of DFO, Renukaji. Tel: 01702-267321.

A great link posted on one of the other thread.

Aah, of course!

You know, I came across that web-site many, MANY moons ago and had even clicked every single link and read the contents in detail, but do you think I remembered this site when I was desperately looking for a website of HP Forest Dept. 3 months ago (to reply a query) or when writing previous post?
Not a chance!

Thanks, vasuki.
