Hi All TAI Members,
As the summers are gone, rains have already unleashed their fury, the peaceful time has come to visit the hills before it would be too late due to the snowfalls and blockage of roads. I have been to almost every part of Himachal (area uptill Rohtang and Area till Ricangpio) and most of the parts of Uttrakhand (except kedarnath, yamunotri and Gangotri routes, i have been to Badrinath and Hemkunt Sahib). Now, the question is during this Diwali (as my last bachelor diwali) i have an opportunity to visit any one of this state for around 4-5 days with 2 friends of mine in my Dragon a.k.a Tata Aria Pleasure 4x4. It would be my bachelor party kind of stuff where 2 of my close friends accompany me and we would like to enjoy those 5 days to its fullest. Following are my queries.

Issues:

Suggestions Required:
a.) Trip Distances
b.) Hotels
c.) Destinations
d.) Local Sightseeing Areas/Spots
e.) Things to carry
f.) Cloths to carry at the schedule time of travel
g.) Contact persons
Alternative Destinations:
