    Dear Dheeraj,
    You maintain a wonderful blog / site 🙂 Keep it up!!
    I am planning a road trip from Pune all the way to Joshimath. I am sure about road conditions from Pune to Delhi. Would you have any idea about road conditions from Delhi to Joshimath (we may take 1 day break in Rishikesh). I am planning this trip with family in April end and so particularly concerned. Please do advise.
    Regards,

    • Thank you Dhiraj 🙂 🙂

      Road conditions to Joshimath are fine from Delhi barring few patches here and there which should be manageable. Breaking journey to Rishikesh makes sense, so do make it to ease out the journey especially when traveling with family.
