thanks monkeyboy for the update. feels weird to call you that

Any idea if the road from Shimla leading upto narkanda is blocked.. alternately any idea if the road from kandaghat to kufri via chail bypassing shimla is blocked off?

rohru is in accessible so is jalori. These were to destinations from which i had to choose from for this weekeend. I am starting on Thursday morning from del, and ride as far as possible (given current situation it looks like khrapathar) and come bak

does this look feasible ?? or crazy ? If you say crazy then i might take a u turn at noida itself and head towards munshyari.
