Solo Motorbike Expedition to Chanshal-Dodra-Kwar.

Himalayanone · Jul 26th, 2009, 21:50

Hi,

A road less travelled & tough to negotiate, blind curves, soaring mountains, bewitching spell of Pabbar valley, Apple orchards, few innocent faces on the way, thin air & splendid beauty of Dodra-Kwar. All is about my solo motorbike expedition'' Chanshal-Dodra-Kwar (CDK).
The area was landlocked earlier & has been connected through road couple of month back. People used to trek 45 Kms to visit nearest market Rohru.

Time Period: 18th & 19th July 2009.

Bike: CBZ Xtreme 150CC

Route: CHANDIGARH>SHIMLA>THEOG>KOTKHA I>KHADAPATHAR>HATKOTI>ROHRU>CH IRGAON>LAROT>CHANSHAL PASS>DODRA>KWAR.

Night Stay: Forest Rest House at Dodra.

Hi
Planning a trip to Chanshal/Dodra Kwar in 2nd week of October. Planning to take my Maruti Esteem. Is it possible to do on this road if weather holds good ? Also what is the distance of Chanshal and Dodra from Rohru in kms. Is the road good enough for entire stretch ? As mentioned in the post planning to stay in rest house at Dodra.

Ground clearance of Esteem may cause problem, since the road from Larot to Dodra is Jeepable only.
Rohru>Chanshal>Dodra-65 Kms.

You can get in touch with Mr.Tulsi Ram (Forest Ranger)09418708594for Rest house booking.

Great short trip. That' what it looks like to me Ajay (Himalayanone). I've been visiting the area close to Dodra-Kwar for many years now (Uttarakhand) and am quite familiar with the culture and people there. Would love to try out that new road i heard about ( ur right! the trek from UA-Naitwar takes almost 40 odd kms and two days but thats another beauty to do the trek too). Do you have a trip-log? or logistic info?
