Distance: 292 km | Duration: 9–10 hours
Winding through Uttarakhand’s Garhwal region, this road to Auli is equal parts pine forests, prayer flags, and Himalayan drama. Ideal in winter for skiing, and just as magical in summer when the slopes turn into rolling meadows. Cool winds, quiet roads, and the distant jingle of sheep bells are waiting for you.
India’s mountain roads are more about what happens in between. The unexpected waterfalls, the roadside stalls serving soul-saving Maggi, the clouds that casually drift across your windshield, and so much more. If you love these bits while travelling check if any of these routes suit you.
