Trip to Kumaon, Uttarakhand

23rd May - 3rd June 2010

Kausani to Munsiyari

This is a long drive, so get up and leave early. For details of distance and time see Day 5 here. The road is fairly wide and in good condition. There is ample of time to relax, eat and swim. Remember to keep your swimming trunks at an accessible place and stopping roughly 3 kms before Nachini is a must. The river is about a hundred meters from the road, look out for dirt tracks leading from the road. Park you car on the road and walk down. This is something not to be missed. You will find people camping along the river in tents. Ramganga ...Place to have a bath...3 kms before Nachni The last climb before descending into the Gori Ganga Valley, where Munsiyari is, is tough. The road is excellent except for a few land slides but the climb is steep. The last climb Remember to fill up fuel at Thal, even if takes time. Because this is the last reliable petrol pump before Munisyari. The pump at Munisyari is unreliable and you need lots of fuel there.
