Ride to Chanshal Pass and Tops of Chakrata : Pass-N-TheHills

[instantsharma]

Leave behind the chaos of the city and ride into a world where the air gets thinner, the views get wider, and the roads demand your focus — and reward it with every turn.

️ Chanshal Pass (12,300 ft) – The Untamed Gateway of Himachal

Perched high in the Pabbar Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Chanshal Pass isn’t just a road — it’s an experience. With loose gravel, no guardrails, and panoramas that steal your breath (if the altitude hasn’t already), the ride to Chanshal River Camp and onward to the Pass is the perfect test of your bike and your grit.

We will be staying in tents by the gurgling streams and sipping our sips while the clouds roll through the ridges, Chanshal sets the tone for what follows — a journey carved for those who crave the raw.

Chakrata – The Quiet Rebel of Uttarakhand

After taming the Chanshal, head south to Chakrata — a lesser-known gem in the Garhwal hills. Tucked between thick deodar forests and ancient limestone caves, it offers riders a very different high.
• Moila Top: A ridge trek with 360° Himalayan views and a cave temple whispering stories of sages.
• Chilmiri Neck: Sunset point. Ridge riding. Winds in your face.

️ Pass-N-TheHills isn’t just a ride (27th Aug to 31st Aug 2025).

It’s for those who find poetry in petrol, peace in pine forests, and purpose in passes.
It’s the silence between gears. The echo of your engine off Himalayan walls.
It’s a reminder: the higher you go, the smaller your worries look.
