Driving up to Dalhousie
The last part of this route runs on mountain roads, so the 290 km take longer than the same distance in the plains, about 8 hrs 30 min in normal traffic. We suggest a morning departure: hill roads are easier in daylight and you reach in time to check in and walk around. 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.
