Hi Mana

I haven't driven the 1.1 so just my two lincolns based on my experience with my Palio 1.2 driven in Maharashtra ghats(can't compare to Himachal/Kashmir tho). Yes sometimes if the gradient is steep you will require to downshift or reduce A/C power but overall it will handle most roads. Downshifts can be avoided by keeping the car in correct RPM (maintaining optimum speed for the gear) etc. sometimes. Its build quality means it can go many places other cars cannot. However it will still handle the ghats better than a non-turbo Indica diesel any day.
