Hi Guys,
Am looking for a way to bypass the dreaded Delhi traffic on my way from Manali to Gurgaon. Google charts me a route via Chandigarh, Ambala, Karnal, Dhaula Kuan, Gurgaon. Pls suggest the best route give a 6am start from Manali?

I will not call the Delhi traffic dreaded, but if you are keen to avoid Delhi you can do: Karnal-Panipat-Rothak-Jhajjar-Gurgaon or Rothak-Bahadurgarh-Najafgarh-Dwarka-Gurgaon.

I doubt you will save time in any of the alternate route. Bad traffic at Rothak as well as Najafgarh.

Dhaula Kuan is in Delhi. I cannot think of a better route than crossing Delhi to reach Gurgaon. Take the ring road via Dhaula Kuan, the traffic moves at decent pace even in peak hour.

If you must avoid Delhi, you can take Panipat-Rohtak-Jhajjar-Farrukhnagar-Gurgaon route but you may end up spending as much time travelling, plus the unmarked turns may be confusing for a first timer.

Avoid this stretch, traffic on Rohtak-Bahadurgarh stretch is bad due to ongoing road expansion work and traffic at Najafgarh is very bad.

There is a direct road from Najafgarh to Gurgaon, it's better than going through Dwarka.

The road (NH1) from Ambala to Panipat is undergoing six-laning. Keep that into consideration. From Panipat onwards it is super.

I agree with .anshuman that the best way to cross Delhi is to take the Ring Road from Azadpur (NH1 intersection) via Daula Khuan to IGI Airport (NH8 intersection). Simple route, smooth traffic flow. The bypass options for Delhi are not great, whether it is via Jhajjiar or from Ambala direct to Kishangarh. IF yu wnat to go from Ambala, you can go via Kaithal, Hisar & Sikar to Kishangarh, but has some bad sections.

We - some 10 cars - leave from Bombay on Aug 11 night, come via Kinnaur, Baspa, Pin, Spiti, Lahaul valleys to reach Leh on Aug 20, but going on to Zanskar valley, Nubra Valley, Pangong, Chushul, Hanle & Tso M. WE are in and out of Leh, first on Aug 20, again 3 days later, and so, till we finally leave Leh on Sep 1.

Please PM me your numbers that will work in Leh.

If all goes well, we'll be returning from Valley Of Flowers on the 16th July; the same day Anna Hazare is planning a fast.

Of course, whether the fast happens is in doubt but in case it does, is there any way we could get to Gurgaon bypassing the Fast-site?

Another alternative is just after crossing delhi border turn right after 1 KM to Narela Subcity. Route will be Narela>>Bawana>>Najafgarh>>Dwarka>>Gurgaon. But as others have mentioned better stick to outer ring road.

If the site is Jantar mantar you are safe via outer ring road
