It's Sunday. ....A definitely I don't wish to sit back at home with the laptop...Winter has started and weather is too good in jammu and all those bad summer and rainy months.....After breakfast, both me and my husband wanted to drive out...It wasn't decided where we intend to go....just a long drive...and off we go ...totally unprepared....took the jammu bypass road ( our favourite drive)...Soon my husband wanted to take the surinsar - mansar cut and off we onto the hills....its the most picturesque stretch of jammu city....after some 20 kms we reached surinsar lake..... its was the 3rd time I had been to this lake site. But I bet , it looks best during rainy season with hovering clouds...and ferny ways after a short stopover at the lake site we moved onto mansar lake which is around 19 kms or so...I was just discussing about the Dhar road connecting the mansar bypass...check onto Google. ..which showed some 30 kms drive to Ramnagar .....We soon decided instead stopping at mansar lake we will take onto the Dhar road onto manwal to ramnagar....Udhampur looks to be some 43kms from here....anyways , Dhar road is a fantastic drive off....earlier we drove the other half ie Billawar towards Ranjit sagar Dam and lakhanpur.
So it was decided...but the patch of mansar to Dhar road was in a very bad shape....Once hitting the Dhar road it's definitely an amazing drive...The Udhampur rly line often kept following us ...and we continued our journey to Ramnagar... onto Airforce station and then Udhampur city.... The landscape was just awesome as we drove off.....
After reaching udhampur city , it's time to take on udhampur bypass..... then rehembal and then nagrota bypass onto jammu bypass......
It's was time to zip zap zoom. ....what a magnificent road to drive thru....just look forward for driving such type of road across the Himalayan stretch to kashmir valley in future years to come when this 4 lanning work ends.....
Total it was around 160/170km drive out....A simple unplanned drive out turned out to be a long long drive.But definitely we both loved it....
