13 people recommend, 6 warn against itvia r/Dehradun20 comments cited below
What people say, in short
People who have walked to Bhadraj describe a steep, tiring climb with rewarding views; one recalls a tough but enjoyable outing with friends. The Koti approach is recommended, and one commenter advises leaving the car below and walking up. Access draws substantial dissent: commenters describe poor roads and difficult scooter travel. In a June 2025 discussion, one warned of landslides and advised against going, while others also discouraged the trip. Those are dated accounts, not a current road-status report.
