Driving up to Dalhousie
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 345 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 10 hrs 15 min in normal traffic. Leave early, take a breakfast stop on the way and you will reach by afternoon, before the evening rush. Carry a warm layer even in summer. With more than four people or heavy luggage, an SUV like the Maruti Ertiga or Innova Crysta is more comfortable on the climbs.
