Thanks,

That' a no brainer. Safari.

hey buddy I went to kausani in 2007, I kept my base at Ranikhet,I stayed at army cottages at Ranikhet along with my col. friend the cottages came dirt cheap around Rs.350/- a night (that also paid by my pally) and had a sit out with a beautifully maintained lawn, verrandah, bedroom, sitting room, diningroom and a kitchen. As for track to kausani it was not too treachourous and i dont think u need a 4*4 for tha, if I cld do it in my esteem I am dead sure it is fairly manageable in i10 happy journey,
go in i10 at times safari might b tiring b' cause of hairpin bends. Btw I am also frm jaipur and did jaipur to Ranikhet in 11 hrs thru ramnagar and bhowali

Thanks for the info, looking at the long journey and more space in Safari specially with two boys I think I will take Safar, personally I would have preferred i10 as its more manageable and with Automatic its more easy for driving. We are planning to take the route from Agra (new wonderful highway), Bharatpur, Aligarh, Chandausi, Muradabad, Kathgodam and then to Kausani, what do you suggest about this route? How are roads in Uttarankhand are they better then UP?

Also I head that there is no electricity after 9 in Kausani, is it true?

11 Hours is definitely a impressive time...

Looking forward to your comments, planning to leave this saturday.

Thanks,
Alind
