| 17 Jeeps from Delhi NCR visit New Tehri Dam Background: I had bought a Jeep Compass in November 2021 and was soon added to a ~500 member group of Delhi NCR Jeep owners. I had seen that the group regularly organized trails, off roading events and day trips. I had been keen to join these trips/trails but one or the other commitment stopped us from signing up for such trips. However, when one of my engineering college seniors (GG) tagged me encouraging me to join a trip being planned between 1st – 3rd April, I immediately agreed but added - ‘subject to terms and condition’. I spent a few days encouraging my better half to agree for the trip and with wifey’s consent secured, I made the payment for the trip before the decision could be reversed, that way I could claim – “money already deposited, so no turning back”. As the date for the trip approached, I was keen to be part of the planning process and reached out to the moderators for the trip. I was roped in for the planning and partnered with fellow Bhpian AshwinRS from Noida to plan logistics and meals Trip participants:
Day 1 Itinerary:
Day 2 Itinerary: Breakfast was wrapped up around 10am with most of us lazing around the hotel restaurant and admiring the natural beauty around the hotel Many of us trickled to the venue for water sports and in smaller groups ended up taking up speed boating, Jet Skiing or Water sailing Right after the water sports activities, some of us were keen to try the customary tea & Maggi from the hills. Somehow the tea and Maggi from the hills seem to have a different taste We assembled back at hotel by 12:45pm We drove to the Tehri Dam (10 minutes away from hotel) and realized that to get closer and enter the premises, we needed to get a few permissions sorted, which we had not planned for and hence could not proceed to inside the dam premises. We finally moved to an observation point closer to the Tehri Dam and returned to the hotel for lunch around 2pm Post lunch, the group dispersed into smaller groups, with a few moving back to rooms to relax, a few of us going to the lake banks and another group that identified spots for off roading. Personally, the icing on the entire trip was the off roading. The photos and videos I have included don’t do justice to the fun we had Post that a few Jeepers (AshwinRS among them) went on for a night trail to the Dobra Chanti bridge around 6:30pm – 8:30pm while a few other Jeepers (including me) spent time relaxing at hotel followed by an early start to the drinks. We wrapped up the night after sumptuous meal, drinks and lots of fun Day 3 Itinerary:
Key highlights of the trip:
Apologies for some of the photos, the quality may not be great since I downloaded them from WhatsApp. Dear Mods, I am unable to upload videos. Please suggest if its possible. Last edited by Aditya : 25th April 2023 at 21:40. Reason: Mention of WhatsApp group |

| Re: 17 Jeeps from Delhi NCR visit New Tehri Dam Teri dam area has been developed recently to make it tourist friendly. One can have a really adventurous yet relaxing weekend. The roads are also good and make it a great drive from Delhi-NCR. Sharing a pic from my trip in February |

| Re: 17 Jeeps from Delhi NCR visit New Tehri Dam Hi aayusht I own a Jeep Compass Model 3 (2022), and have been trying to get added to the Delhi NCR Whatsapp group. I am unable to contact the admins as I can't seem to figure out a way to DM the admins. Is there a way you can help me get added? Thanks in advance |
