Folks,
We guys just got back from a scintillating journey from Delhi to McLeodGanj [ Dharamshala ] and back bet'n 12th to 14th March.
This is just an initial attempt at the travelogue, as i'm dead tired [ read wrist pain due to R15's posture ] and am in office, will try and complete it asap.
My trip meter says 1100 kms . The following riders made this ride that was hatched from a mere thought and longing at the dhabha last week into a reality.
Ravi bhai - Yellow ZMA
Aseem - Silver Eliminator
Kunjal Singh - Pillion
Abhishek2433 - Silver Eliminator
Bestofrivals - Black ZMA
SunnyRags - Red FZ16
Indian07blood - Black P220
Lovish09 - Black P150
Your's truly - Black R15
We followed this route :
Noida - Delhi- Panipat- Karnal- Ambala- Kirtapur- Ropar- Nangal- Una- Palampur - Kangra- Dharamshala- McleodGanj
Will complete and modify this post, meanwhile all guys who have the pics...please post the links onto this post.
As often heard , there is a prelude to why people take up long trips and tour on a motorcycle .
Some do it to prove a point, some do it to get away from the the mundane stressful lives we lead in our normal day to day selves, some do it to live the life of their biker alter ego's, some others do it to destress them selves and yet others do it just for the heck of it, the travellers / Bikers spirit . I think a lot of us fall into this last category, riding ur motorbike is akin to riding a horse , the feel of wind in ur face, the early morning breeze, as you ride along a Highway and see the eastern sky get a tint of reddish hue and you see the sun as ball of fire travelling across the skies and then finally setting over the horizon , while you the rider still ride on, it gives you an immense sense of satisfaction and achievement , like one of those hundred things you have to do before you die kindda thing.
I guess i've done too much of philosophy crap, Well some of us always wanted to ride to Dharamshala, and seeing Aryan's and B2L's pictures on facebook just made the hunger unstoppable.
So as the usual dhaba chitchat began, this idea eventualy formed a thought which then collectively became a plan.There was a strange determination in all of the riders from the very start, as in not one of those dicey cases, Junta actually wanted to do this trip, more importantly Ravi bhai and Abhishek had been to Mc.LeodGanj not too long back and hence the route was not actually one of our concers. Having a veteran like Ravi bhai who is well versed with these routes was a blessing for us as he rode responsibly and always set an example both of character and morale.

to make up some plan for the long ride but i didn't got the healthy response because my first priority was to go with the Xbhpians only. My fellow Xbhpian from Panipat Lovish09 kept on asking me "make a trip please" and again we started contriving to ramble in himalayas, we planned for manali but God wants to take us somewhere else and one sunday i was having my breakfast our fellow Xbhpian and my good friend Aseem called me up and said that we are planning for dharamshala and Mcleodganj in the coming weekend ,what do you say? Without giving a second thought i said "YES" i am in ,immediately i called up Lovish and told him about the ride and said mine is done and you confirm asap .He confirmed me by Thursday and all set.This is how it started.
