| ![]() Hi HVK, The pax who planned to join us have dropped. So it is just 3 of us now. We may have to stop over for both Amritsar and Vaishno Devi, so I was thinking instead of doing via Delhi, I can have my car come from Hyderabad to Pune where they will pick me up on June 1st itself. From here I hope to cover Pune- Udaipur - Amritsar in a Couple of days time, June 2nd & 3rd. Will this be doable in Innova (2 drivers) or should I give some buffer. I have seen urban legend's route. I am thinking of halt in Udaipur and start early again the next day. June 1st, Hyderabad to Pune Driver will get the car. June 2nd, Pune - Mumbai - Ahmedabad - Udaipur/Beawar (Can start in Pune by 2 or 3 am and would like to cover maximum distance this day) June 3rd, Udaipur/Beawar, Ajmer, Kishangarh-Makrana-Ladnun-Ratangad-Sardarshahr-Rewatsar-Hanumangarh-Abohar-Fazilka-Ferozepur-Zira-Taran Taran-Amritsar ( uraban legend route. Have to be here to meet my sisters who will reach by after noon flight). If 2 days will be tight, then I will book flight for my sisters on 4th. We will see Golden Temple and Wagha that evening. June 4th or 5th Amritsar - Katra Followed by Darshan at temple June 5th or 6th Katra - Srinagar (for the rest of the itinerary dates will move accordingly) One query in general about safety in Leh. Now that I will be traveling alone with my sisters, is it advised to have another person at hand. Can I get local drivers in case of emergency? |

But then why are you going through Delhi? Why don't you stay at Kishangarh on Day 1, then take the Bhatinda superhighway to Hanumangarh, then Abohar, MOga & Jalandhar? Quote:

| ![]() [quote=hvkumar;2794193]Very tough to do Bombay-Delhi in a day unless you are a very steady fast driver, without taking any breaks. In today's Jaipur-Delhi condition, do not expect to arrive in Delhi before early morning hours. But then why are you going through Delhi? Why don't you stay at Kishangarh on Day 1, then take the Bhatinda superhighway to Hanumangarh, then Abohar, MOga & Jalandhar? Thanks HVK Sir for your prompt reply. Just checked out the route suggested by you on Google Map.Distance wise also i feel this is a better bet and will avoid the traffic in delhi and outskirts. However how is the condition of the road is it an exp hghwy - toll road. In Dec 2010 had driven a swift from thane (2:30 am ) and had reached Jaipur by 6:45 pm and hence had thought that reaching delhi would be feasible in one day. |

| ![]() Will learner's license suffice as Identity proof for innerline permits in Leh Ladakh. She has a passport which expired. Apart from that she has college ID with photograph. |

![]() The best time to leave Jaipur for Delhi should be between 01:00 AM till 03:00 PM. If you are taking this route then plan your departure from Thane accordingly. Cheers! Irish ![]() | |

Guess I should stay over at Jaipur and try for a early morning Dash. But is it safe drive at 3:00 or 4:00 am on this belt i.e. Jaipur - Delhi. If i leave late from Thane - Mumbai will get traffic here. ![]() Other Option is to take the Bhatinda Higwhway from Kishangarh as advised by HVK Sir. But the issue is that wanted to reach Jammu on Day 2 so that i can reach srinagar on Day 3 by 1:00 noon i.e. leaving Jammu early in the morning.Taking this option would mean that i would lag behind .

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Due to unavoidable circumstances i had to drive last night from Jaipur to Gurgaon. With relaxed driving managed the stretch in 5 hours. Dealing with trucks can be very frustrating, not impossible for those who are not in hurry and can stay calm. For me DSG was god sent, a huge stress absorber, drove close to 800 kms yesterday..

| ![]() Done the Leh trip, went via Srinagar and came via Manali, started on 19th May and returned yesterday 1st June, incase anybody is planning currently Manali route is in better shape the Srinagar, Zojila was in worst shape and Kargil Leh too was in bad shape, even though both the La after Kargil are tarred but everything else is in bad shape. Manali is more of patience game because of tourist going toward Rohtang and making a complete mess with Parking, I have to spend 3hours at Marhi because of traffic jam! Barlacha was good with tar road and just Snow all across, Tanlagla from Leh side is tarred while the descends is bad because of water and mud, will need some caution with 2wd, Rohtang was ok but need some caution with water and no road at few places, at some places there are land slides that are regularly cleared and that creates some difficulties with car ground clearance. TSO Morriri last 30kms are as usual bad, while at Gayk BRO is greeting the bridge repaired and I had a very difficult time because of Dozer just made the road and it's was just cleared the road for trucks and I had Yeti! -Pramod |
