✓ Scenic walking approach
Essential Hill Road Etiquette (Kathgodam → Kainchi Ghat):
1. Uphill Right-of-WayVehicles climbing upward have first priority. If descending, slow down and allow climbing cars to clear narrow corners.
2. Avoid Neutral / High GearsWhile descending hills, stay in 2nd or 3rd gear for engine braking to prevent brake disc overheating.
3. Fog & Rain CautionMonsoons (July–Aug) and winter mornings encounter heavy valley fog. Drive with low-beam fog lights and stay within marked lanes.
4. No Blind OvertakingNever overtake on blind curves or near hairpin bends. Horn gently on sharp turns.
