Road Journey To Ladakh Begins
Have you ever tried travelling by road towards the mountains of northern India? If you are determined and are an adventure freak like me then I’m sure you will enjoy the journey without missing out on scenic splendours and fantastic picnic spots to give you a break as you sojourn while you travel. Reaching Ladakh by road will undoubtedly take at least 5 to 6 days but will satiate most of your desires of a romantic or a thrilling drive towards the sturdy lords.
Hundreds of both Indian as well as foreign tourists see Delhi as the main junction to travel towards the north. Of course you have flights or rail routes from major other cities such as Mumbai or Bangalore, but if you want to seek the adventure travelling through roadways then Delhi is apt to ‘begin’ with the same.
The Road Journey Guide-I
Delhi to Chandigarh
The route from Delhi to Chandigarh is a comfortable one, try it anyways. There are frequent domestic airlines that will drop you to Chandigarh from Delhi in just 40 minutes. Trains like Shatabdi Express will take not more than 3 hours to reach to Chandigarh. Add one more hour and you can safely travel by roadways as well. The total distance is around 250 kilometres. I would suggest you carry some nuts or a pack of munchies along with a few juice packs to satiate your hunger on the way. The inns or small hotels that serve food on the highway may not always be of your taste. Yet, if you are a food freak then trying is simply fun. Go for a normal Punjabi cuisine that can be prepared quickly and with expertise rather than going for any exotic out-of-the –track dishes such as pasta or burgers. Try them only if you find any franchisees around like Macdonald’s (You may find that close to the city like Ambala that falls in the way to Chandigarh). Don’t miss out reading the city names on the highway boards such as Sonipat, Panipat, and Ambala and so on. Well, once you reach Chandigarh you have arrived to a hub of Malls and fantastic food joints.
Keep in mind some famous sectors for shopping and eats:
1. Sector 17
2. Sector 21
3. Keep driving straight ahead of Chandigarh if you don’t want to break your journey and you will definitely find plenty of hotels and malls on the way too.
Happy Sojourning at this clean and green city before you begin for the actual adventure.
