Munsiyari Chronicles: A 5-Day Himalayan Road Trip into the Wild Total Distance Covered: 1335 km | Days: 5 | Destination: Munsiyari, Uttarakhand Some journeys are not just trips—they’re a test of endurance, a celebration of nature, and a reminder of how small we are against the grandeur of the mountains.
