Some terms for this trip:
1. Riding is a part of trip, not the reason of the trip. We will enjoy the rides, but not like we have to break records and backs. Usually one day of full riding will be followed by one day of full sightseeing.

2. Drinking and smoking will not be part of the trip. You can do if you want, but it's certainly not a part of the itinerary.

3. Budget will of course be strictly maintained , but preference will always be to keep hygiene and not just to save money.

In short, this thread invites adventure couples and even singles, who want to experience the culture and places, and not just roads. If you fit the bill, I am awaiting your posts in this thread.

Ideally, we will take trains as near as possible and then ride on. There will certainly be no ride to and fro Mumbai and Delhi, as train is much better mode of transport. The leaves are costly, and we don't even have the 15th August holiday. Still, I think 2 weeks minimum will be required.

This is not restricted for Mumbai Pune bikers only, anyone from all over country, who fits the above criteria is welcome.
