A bit cold in the shadows in the day and bloody cold in the night. Try Monal guest house for accommodation there is a website and he has rooms starting at Rs 500, but as its off season I'm very sure he'll do you a package, and a nice place to stay as the owner knows all the trekking, simple to technical.

Bloody cold

- ... hey thanks Paleface .. sure i'll contact Monal guest house ....One more thing, Is there is possibility of snowing or Hailstorms during Christmas ...

Well if yo uare very very luck only then, in the four years I have been here we haven't had a white Christmas. You may be in luck there is a big pooja that may be scheduled for around that time and you can see a lot of the local customs and culture if you care to.

I'm thinking to drive from delhi to utttarkashi by car (Maruti Swift ) .. does it sound risky during December end .. i mean how about fog and mountain Road ? any suggest on possible route ?

tilak2909 · Sep 29th, 2009, 13:55

its not risky, just need to drive carefully. there will be a heavy fog around narender nagar. if you are going on NH58 then be extra careful.

desihippie · Oct 1st, 2009, 23:57

there is one more route. it is slightly lengthy but very nice. delhi-meerut-bijnor-nazibabad-haridwar-N.Nagar-chamba-uttarkashi. completely full of greens, with no traffic and nice road condition.

delhiwala · Oct 2nd, 2009, 01:58

I won't suggest that route...Najibabad - Haridwar stretch is bad.

Best is to take Delhi - Ghaziabad - Muradnagar and from Muradnagar take the Canal Side road till Roorkee from where you can join the Delhi - Haridwar highway. There are no big vehicle on this canal road, so you can move fast. But avoid this route between 6 PM - 6 AM.

From Haridwar it's usual route....

....

i came back 2 days back, and i found it in a nice condition. and i really enjoyed it. from haridwar to delhi i reached in 6 hrs with 3 stoppages. agree that the canal route is shorter. and the main NH58 is hell

livinhimalayas · Oct 2nd, 2009, 02:11

Delhiwala, have you taken the Haridwar Najibabad route lately?

delhiwala · Oct 2nd, 2009, 02:15

Not very recently...

Once I went to Kotdwara from Haridwar, then I took it, the road was broken in many parts..

Has it improved recently ?
