So the plan was to go to Bankura, see Shushunia hills, than go to Mukutmanipur on Day 2 and visit Ramnabagan WLS while returning on Day 3...
Called up Abhinav, Subhodeep, Laurel and others.
Abhinav, Laurel and Subhodeep agreed to join us. But Laurel had to pull back later because his bike was giving trouble.
So the final list of riders were :
Me - Karizma R
Monty - Honda Stunner
Subhodeep - RTR 180
Abhinav - RTR 160
Day 1
Abhinav was the first one to arrive at my place. Than came Monty, we had a brief discussion about the route. After that we started loading/tying the luggage to the bikes. Called up Subhodeep, and he was on his way. When he reached the destined place where he was supposed to wait for us, he gave us a call. We were still busy tying the luggage. After some last minute checks, we finally started off, and met Subhodeep. Than we kept rolling and after some bad roads we soon reached the NH2. From there on it was a smooth ride. After a small photo break, our next stop was Shaktigarh where we had our breakfast.

After crossing Durgapur the road became very bad for few kms...After few kms it was ok, not as smooth as the NH2 but still pretty much OK...
We reached Bankura around 8.30am. Searched for a hotel, where there was a safe place to park our bikes and than finally around 10pm, we were sitting in our hotel room. After bath we were very hungry and were eagerly waiting for our lunch...
After lunch we took rest for sometime, than started off for Shushunia hills, which is very close to Bankura...The road was pretty much OK, but we had to ride through a lot of narrow, congested lanes.
Finally after reaching Shushunia hills, and getting as close to the hills as possible on two wheels, we decided to climb up. We parked our bikes and Abhinav stayed with the bikes.

Subhodeep, Me and Monty started climbing up, after taking few breaks in between, we finally reached around half way to the top. Than we decided to head back down, because Abhinav was standing alone with the bikes and it was getting dark, and it was not a very safe place.

After coming down and meeting Abhinav who was waiting eagerly for us to return we started our journey back to the hotel. When we reached the hotel it was around 7pm. After having dinner we went to sleep early that night because next day we have planned to visit Mukutmanipur...
Day 2 and more pics coming up soon...
