Re: Club Mahindra Kandaghat - March 22nd - 25th - Route Enquiry Quote:

I had planned on taking an airport car rental for the trip and some questions. Hoping folks who have made the trip recently or are locals to the region can weigh in generously. Here come the questions; - Are there any concerns with picking up a Zoomcar rental for this trip? Any friction with local tourist cab operators?
- Is the google maps route that goes via Pinjore-Kasauli-Solan the best route? Anything to be aware of from a safety perspective? Since these are unfamiliar places, I would like to travel during day through well populated routes
- Haven't really planned too many places to go and things to do yet? Any recommended itinerary that I can follow? Any places or experiences which are not to be missed?
- I know it is a longshot but is there any possibility of encountering snowfall in or around Kandaghat? The wife has never seen snow, but cannot stand the cold weather either! So really asking if there is the possibility of a miracle here!
That is all that comes to mind at the moment. As always, the inputs from this forum has saved me on many a trips before, hoping that it does the same again!
Cheers and may the miles forever smile upon your travels! |
Hello luckystryker, all the best for your upcoming trip! I will try to answer your queries below -
[*]Are there any concerns with picking up a Zoomcar rental for this trip? Any friction with local tourist cab operators? There is no problem in hiring a self drive rental in this part
[*]Is the google maps route that goes via Pinjore-Kasauli-Solan the best route? Anything to be aware of from a safety perspective? Since these are unfamiliar places, I would like to travel during day through well populated routes The route shown by Google is good, there is no issue with safety.
[*]Haven't really planned too many places to go and things to do yet? Any recommended itinerary that I can follow? Any places or experiences which are not to be missed? There are several places to visit, Chail Palace Chhanchad House of the movie 3 Idiots), Kali ka Tibba. The view from Kali ka Tibba is fantastic. There is a Club Mahindra resort in Mashobra which is around 1 hour from Kandaghat. Did you book it as well? Here are few things to do in Mashobra - http://traveltriangle.com/blog/thing...o-in-mashobra/
[*]I know it is a longshot but is there any possibility of encountering snowfall in or around Kandaghat? The wife has never seen snow, but cannot stand the cold weather either! So really asking if there is the possibility of a miracle here! No idea about snowfall in Kandaghat, but if you go a bit higher up to Mashobra and beyond, there is high probability of getting snow.
