Day 11: Srinagar - Patnitop - Udhampur - Katra
I wanted to stay in Srinagar this day for local sightseeing as we had two more days to cath our train from Jammu. But morning got the news that some bandh is on as police kileld a boy in firing. We were suggested to leave Srinagar and head to Jammu as things could worsen.
So we left for Jammu; somewhere after Jawahar tunnel we stopped for food, there them three decided to go to Katra and do the darshan. I decided to ride further to Delhi, stay home for 2 days, catch a flight back to Mumbai!
Day 12: Katra - Jammu - Punjab-vanjab - Delhi! -650kms/10.5hrs
As the weather was getting bad, I decided to go along with these guys till Katra, sleep for a while, and leave early morning for Delhi. So I left from Katra around 5am towards Delhi. After 10am the heat was killing, but kept riding. Sun was bright, ass paining, mouth dried, just wanted to close-in and see a board which showed "Azadpur", my bua's place. Crashed there, got re-hydrated, called my parents for the surprise, and then it rained in Delhi! Excellent! Got my Mumbai flight booked, rode further to my home, Dwarka, and a happy ending!
