Hi All,

This must be the proud moment for me to share this T’log with all of u biggies.
A week back, Kaza was nowhere in my mind. Instead we had a plan to go to Chindi.
But destiny wants me to go to one of the remotest places of the world, all alone on my RedBull.

Before starting anything, I would like to thank my God and my machine (Bullet) for co-operating me in a no-man zone.

Now I am the complete man by riding to the heaven of Himachal to extreme ends.

Day1 : Chandigarh-Theog-Rampur-Karchham-Spello-Khab-Nako-Tabo

Whenever I saw other bikers sharing their experience and photos of the Upper Himalayas I felt that deep urge inside me to see and experience it personally. Putting all my work way behind, taken office leave for Friday, things started to mould into their shape. There were many “if and buts” while preparing for the journey.

There was a bit of confusion and preparation with all the stuff needed, extra tubes, medical kit, puncture repair kit electric pump and tools needed. All the things got arranged but no pump

Journey started from Chandigarh after a warm flag off from two of my friends (KurtRules & PrashantBhardwaj). Kurt had given some good advice about the road conditions, weather, blah blah blah… Both waived hands as I kicked my Bull and then realized that I have to achieve some uncommon thing all alone. Confused and Happy all together.








Till now, I have only Reckong Peo as the final destination for the first day and ShipkiLa Pass for the second day. But on the contrary, I reached Reckong Peo at 12 noon much earlier than my expectation. The road till there was free from snow as expected. No adventure at all.

I was little much dicy about the staying options whether to choose Puh or Peo. I called Kurt from Peo and decided to move further till the road and snow allows me to go. From there, I kept Tabo in mind which was around 200 kmts more from there.

On first day, I wanted to complete as many as places that I could. I reached Tabo after visiting Nako Lake and Geyu’s Mummy just leaving only ShipkiLa for the second day.

After taking some fag breaks, I entered Kinnaur after 7 hrs of uneventful ride. The road was butter smooth as you all know. NO enjoyment at all!!!!!




















Ohh……..What a place!!!!! What a landscape!!!! Ghosh..........

I wanted to dance badly to control my excitement. I couldn’t control myself and started dancing with the sound of blowing winds like storm.




Now the bad era started. Powari-Karchham-Wangtu road: I don’t want to do that rough, dusty,painful stretch again till work for Hydro-electric Project gets finished. Was that road or what!!! Seriously a shit!!!








1st road side waterfall came in picture……….
