Travelling to Narkanda is now a breeze, since the Kalka-Shimla road was upgraded into a four-lane expressway. Barring traffic congestion in Shimla city, the journey offers spectacular views of the valleys of the lesser Himalayas.
Narkanda is an archetypal Himalayan hill town located amidst the thick Deodar cedar forest. Upon arrival, the team at Tethys Resort will greet and introduce you to our team. We are sure the stunning views of the Deodar forest and the lush apple orchards will transport you to another world.
In the evening, the soothing aroma and warmth of the bonfire will make the exhaustion of the long drive vanish instantly. We promise you a one-of-a-kind experience with us after a delectable dinner!
The drive from Narkanda to Rohru town of Pabbar valley is a scenic — though long, winding and weary drive with steep down-slopes and upward gradients. A journey that takes you through the primeval and dense forests of Baghi and Sungri. We’ll be travelling through time, as the Narkanda-Sungri road section falls under the British-era Old Hindustan-Tibet Road. The drive distance is about 62 kilometers, and it takes about 3 hours to reach our campsite, La-Himalaya camps right by the side of the Pabbar River.
Buckle up wanderlusters, because Day 3 is all about chasing epic views and capturing memories. We’ll be trading the bustle of the Rohru town for the breathtaking heights of the Chanshal Pass — the highest peak in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh.
This 4,520 meters high of pure mountain majesty connects Rohru town to the charming twin villages of Dodra and Kwar. On one side, the pass offers some of the best views of the legendary Swargarohini peak of the Garhwal Himalayas. On the other, cascading valleys of the lower Himalayas stretch out like a green velvet carpet waiting for any adventuring soul.
The drive distance (between our campsite and the pass) is about 50 km, and it takes about 2 hours to reach the Chanshal Pass summit.
The first leg of the journey is on Rohru-Sungri-Rampur Bushahr. The Road conditions are okay, but some sections are narrow, winding, and have steep up/down gradients. The stretch takes about 3 hours to cover the distance of 70 km.
In the second leg of our day 4 drive, we’ll be driving on National Highway 5 and National Highway 305, from Taklech to Sainj Chowk on NH5 and Sainj Chowk to Shoja on NH305.
The second leg of day #4 will take approximately 4 hours to cover the 100 km distance. Depending upon the availability of the hotels, we’d book the stay in either Sojha or Janjehli.
Sojha village is a haven for backpackers and road-trippers seeking solace and adventure in equal measure. Serolsar Lake, Jalori Pass, Raghupur Fort, and Jibhi Waterfall are the places for our day excursions. In Janjehli, we can drive to Shikari Mata Temple and camp on the nearby meadows.

The area is remote, which makes you feel connected to nature. After reaching Sara Meadow, you will feel a gush of freshness coming from the mountains covered in fresh snow. You will feel like not coming back.
A day filled with thrill and adventure comes to an end as we head back on the same road to reach the hotel by evening. Upon reaching back at the resort, tea and snacks are served by the bonfire, followed by a delicious dinner. Next day, we explore a new road, a new location lost in the remoteness of the snowy hills.
This day is going to be special and challenging. After breakfast, we drive on Bagi road. Yesterday’s drive was just a teaser; today we put our off-road driving skills to test. We will enjoy cars dragging in the opposite direction as we maneuver curves on the narrow road.
We march ahead as tires get stuck in the snow, and mud flaps and car doors are covered with snow and mud. Of course, you are not on your own – our lead car and backup team stand guard all the time while our convoy moves ahead on the snowy trail.
By dusk, we move back on the same road to reach the hotel to enjoy a hot and delicious dinner. We have food, drink to the adventure and share our experiences of driving in snow. This is how we call it a day and cozy up in the warm bed and drift away in the dreamland of adventure.

After enjoying beautiful views at the lake, we return to the camps for an overnight stay.
Today we drive back on the same road to reach Batal. Batal is a vast flatland in Lahaul Valley. It is also a popular milestone and halting place for people coming either from Kaza or Manali. Beyond Batal, we’ll come across the worst stretch of road on the Kaza-Manali route. It takes around 5-6 hours to cover a 100 km odd distance from Batal to Manali. Road conditions are poor till Gramphoo. Beyond Gramphoo, barring a few patches, the road is in good shape until Manali.
Finally, the day has come when we say goodbye to our friends and beautiful landscapes that accompanied us this entire week and treated us well. It feels as if our trip started just yesterday. We have made so many good memories that are going to stay with us for life.

After witnessing so much natural beauty and adventure, you might be expecting something subtle, but this place and drive to Shinku La will completely sweep you off your feet.

We spend wonderful time under the starry sky beside the river while setting up a bonfire.
After driving through difficult terrain and narrow paths, you must need a day’s rest. So our day 5 will be a resting day so that you can rejuvenate and ease up yourself by taking short walks around the river bank. For those who would like to explore Udaipur, we will go to Triloknath and Myad valley and come back to our Campsite by the river Chenab.
Finally the day has come when we say goodbye to our friends and beautiful landscapes that accompanied us for an entire week and treated us well. It feels as if our trip started just yesterday. We have made so many good memories that are going to stay with us for life.
On the first day of our Trans Himalayan Drive road trip, we’ll drive from Chandigarh to Janjehli, a group of hamlets in the pristine and thickly forested Seraj Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The road distance is about 250 km and to reach Janjehli, the drive on the Chandigarh — Sundernagar — Thunag route will take about 6 to 7 hours.
Driving on the winding roads through the Deodar forested valley of Janjehli is the standout experience of our Live Your Dream Drive (LYDD) expedition. We’ll get to witness dense treeline in the background, triggering a sense of elation and wonder for the natural wonder of the dense forests of Janjehli.
Day 2 of the Trans Himalayan Drive is dedicated to exploring the prominent places in and around Janjehli.
After breakfast, we’ll visit a small water stream flowing near Janjehli. One can relax and connect with nature by taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the river pools or simply reclining on the banks of the stream and absorbing the soothing sounds of the flowing stream.
Post lunch, we’ll the hit the road again and head towards, Shikari Devi, a temple dedicated to goddess Shikari and the highest peak (at 3359 meters) in Mandi district.
Another place worth visiting is Bulah Meadows, an emerald green carpet of Himalayan meadows surrounded by Deodar forest. This place is located en route to Shikari Devi.
Today, we’ll be covering about 131 kilometers distance. The drive will take about 5 hours via an 80-kilometer connecting road leading to National Highway 3 at Pandoh Dam.

The north portal of the tunnel will lead us to several stops along the gorgeous Bhaga River to take in the beauty of the Chandrabhaga valley.
Day 5 will be the most unforgettable leg of our Trans-Himalayan Drive expedition. The drive from Jispa to Shinku-La Pass involves significant altitude gain, starting at 3,200 meters and reaching an impressive height of 5,091 meters at Shinku-La Pass (also called written as Shingo La).
While the distance from Jispa to Shinku La is less than 50 kilometers, be prepared for driving on challenging road conditions. Due to the high-altitude terrain, the thin air at high altitudes can be tiring to you if you have not driven through high-altitude regions of the Himalayas before. If we’re lucky, we can find good snow conditions near the pass.
Once we conquer the summit of the pass, we’ll head back to Jispa and then Udaipur. This round trip on Day 4 will cover approximately 170 kilometers and take an estimated 6–7 hours to complete.
After driving through difficult terrain and high-altitude climes of Shinku-La Pass, you just need a rest day. So day 5 is going to be easy, and we’ll rejuvenate and unwind ourselves by taking short walks by the calm waters of Chandrabhaga River.
We will explore Udaipur and visit the much-revered Trilokinath Temple. Next, we’ll drive to Miyar Valley and return to our campsite by the river Chenab.

After this nerve-wracking drive, Day 6 definitely calls for rest.
After this nerve-wracking drive, the next day certainly calls for rest. So the next day we’ll cover some unexplored locations around Sural Bhatori. This beautiful valley offers numerous possibilities for day hikes. We will spend some quality time by a stunning Chabi waterfall, which has a height of approximately 100 feet, and it takes about 1 hour to hike from the nearest road head. We reach the campsite by evening and stay the night.
After soaking in the stunning views of lush greenery and pristine streams of Sural Bhatori, we’ll be adequately rested and refreshed for 200+ km of gruelling drive from Sural Bhatori to Dalhousie.
Post breakfast, we drive to Sach Pass, aptly named the ‘big daddy of all mountain passes’. The journey to Sach Pass is something that cannot be put into words, something unforgettable, something that will go down as the most cherished experience of our lifetime, something that we can barely realize having made it through.
Sach Pass is one of the most difficult passes to drive through in North India. At an altitude of 4500 meters, it runs over the Pir Panjal Mountain ranges. The pass connects Dalhousie with Chamba and Pangi Valley.
This mountain pass is famous among travelers and adventure seekers. The pass is also a famous trekking point from Dalhousie. The panoramic views of the valley and snow-clad mountains from the Pass are a never-seen-before experience.
