Beginner rider planning Dharamshala circuit in June — road safety?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to cover McLeodganj, Dharamkot, Naddi, Gallu and Kharota in the second week of June on a scooty/bike.

I’m a beginner at hill riding, so I wanted honest advice about the roads and weather conditions there.

Main concerns:

steep uphill/downhill roads

rain and slippery turns

fog/low visibility

skidding risk

narrow mountain roads

Are these routes safe/manageable for a beginner rider in June, or would cabs be a better idea?

Also, which roads or stretches should I avoid as a beginner?

Any practical tips would help.

I’m planning a 4-day trip to Badrinath Temple and need some guidance on the itinerary.

I’m considering two options:

  1. Badrinath Temple + Tungnath Temple + Chandrashila Peak

  2. Badrinath Temple + Auli

I’d like to know which option makes more sense in terms of travel time, feasibility, and overall experience within a 4-day window. Are these plans realistic, or am I trying to cover too much?

Also open to better suggestions if there’s a smarter way to plan this trip. Additionally, what kind of budget should I expect for this trip?
