Hi,
We would be doing a North India road trip after June this year. We will be traveling in 2 XUVs (each has odo reading ~15k), 4 drivers (2 of them are primary with ability to drive for 500-600km on highways per day, remaining 2 are as backup those can be used to relieve primary ones for couple of hours) with at least 2 kids (2.5yrs and 1.5yrs). We have total of 2 weeks in hands and will be starting from Pune. Below is the rough plan prepared (by looking at the online resources and maps). Actual ground reality may differ and that is the same reason I am depending upon the information from experts here.
Now the questions:
Once route is finalized we will start looking for the accommodations and other things.
(Needless to mention this would be photography oriented trip with family tagged along)

- Day01: Delhi-Corbett-Marchula (293km, easy going 1 day drive with photobreaks)
- Day02: Marchula-Lansdowne-Rishikesh-Dehradun (304km)
- Day03: D'dun-Rampur (285km)
- Day04: Rampur-Sarahan-Sangla-Chitkul (116km, return and stay at Sangla)
- Day05: Spare Day, Stay in same area and return to Sarahan/Rampur for stay.
- Day06: Rampur-Chail-Kasauli (~200km)
- Day07: Spare Day
- Day08: Delhi (stay)
Now the questions:
- Are these days (post-June) suitable for the trip?
- Is this itinerary feasible? Or are we over ambitious in this?
- Any alterations, modifications, suggestions?
- Any other tip for the trip?
Once route is finalized we will start looking for the accommodations and other things.
