hello buddies , i want to go to munisyari ,i like to know that i have hyundai i10 purchased three month back , i want to go with my 1 year old twins child and my wife . how are the roads from delhi to munsiyari , is it good roads till munsiyari and can i travel this trail of 613 kms in one day or i have to stay in between and how is the hotel facility there and plz tell me detailed route so i can reach it without problem, because u know whan we are with family we have to take care of each and every thing we cant take risks. thanks a lot buddy.

The route is safe but you have to break your journey in between as 613 kms will be too much to ask as you are going along with your family. Few of us went there in 2006, at that time the roads were awsome till kalamuni top and there were no road at all after that.

Good news: the situation is not the same. One of my friends did it with his wife(in a taxi) in May 08 and he informed that now its black top till munsiyari.

I would suggest that you can book the KMVN guest house as you really get an awsome view. Its about 900 RS for a Delux room(Double)

Other Option: Wayfarer resorts, 1200 for a cottage (PS: The food is good)

Route: Delhi - kathgodam - Bhowali - Almoda - Sehraghat - Thal - Berinaag - Birthi Falls - Kalamun Pass - Munsiyari.

You can break your journey and stay at Almora or Bageshwar.

Cheers,
DJ

Almora has more options for stay and has a big market to top up supplies if traveling with a family with small kids.

From Ashram take left towards Sarai Kale Khan(just before the road leading towards DND flyway to Noida) ..& take right from under the bridge (just opposite to Indraprastha park) after Saria Kale Khan/Nizamuddin station towards Akshardham Temple.. This is NH-24 that directly leads to Hapur... Follow Ghaziabad , NH-24 sign marks without any deviation from this road..

Regarding technical details on Vehicle/Tyre/Munsyari experts will pitch in soon ..

For Car: Just check all fluids - engine oil / brake fluids / coolant levels / radiator / wash-wiper water.

For tyres : regular checkup for chips and cuts. Buy yourself a tubeless puncture repair kit. Comes for Rs 150 and fixes 5 punctures. Later you can buy the strips for Rs 10 each. This way you can fix the puncture yourself and get the tyre inflated at any shop.

Go through the car preparation guide in BCM Forum -> Cars section for detailed tips on how to get your car ready for a long trip.

Additionally, you could buy a tube of the correct size and carry that with you.
In case of a puncture at an inconvenient place, just get the tube fitted into the punctured tyre. Tubeless repair can be done when you find a competent shop/person.
