Thanks Balkar ji for initiating the programme. I just took a screen shot of the Google map directions. It seems part of the distance (nearly half) between Nohradhar and Churdhar is motorable. I tried both Motorable and trekking options, it shows 6.6 km both options. I hope some one can clarify. total 6.6 km or motorable 6.6, and the total distance is how much?. I am asking this because I would like maximum benefit of ride and save energy for essential trekking.
