Delhi - Narkanda
Destination: Narkanda

Route: Delhi – NH-1 – Ambala – Zirakpur Crossing – NH-22 – Kalka – Shimla – Kufri – Narkanda

Distance: 430kms

Type of destination: weekend getaway or a three – four day destination

Description:
at an altitude of 8100ft Narkanda is cold even in the hot summer months making it a perfect getaway in summer for people who want to escape the heat of plains. In winter Narkanda gets covered by thick blanket of snow and becomes even more beautiful

Places to visit:
Hatu Peak, Mahamaya temple (Kacheri, 7kms from Narkanda)

Tips: if you are planning to spend a night in Narkanda then try to book hotel in advance, especially in peak season since there are only a few hotels located in Narkanda.

for an alternate route you can take the diversion to Chail and from there drive/ride down to kufri and then continue toward Kufri and and then towards Narkanda. this route is more scenic and has narrower roads, so its best to avoid if you are in a hurry to reach Narkanda.
