A wet ride to Dalhousie and Khajjiar in July - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Mik · 08-28-2011, 03:34 PM

Ok! this is not a log, per se. I am writing my leh log now while this one was a prep ride for the leh ride in August. This is just a photo feature
The idea was to ride with full load(all the stuff we planned to take to Leh) in the rain to some destination which involved full day ride.
Originally a three day plan which included Dalhousie, dharamsala and Bhakra Dam.. i had to curtail it to a 2.5 day ride as office demanded some attention.
Hence the route followed was

Gurgaon-Dalhousie
Dalhousie-Khajjiar-Ludhiana(in laws place)
Ludhiana-Gurgaon - Office

Riders
Me and my wife on our 220

Nothing spectacular happened apart lots and lots of rain which proved how ineffective my rain gear was

Enjoy the pics

Lots of rain on the first day. A breather near Ambala

On the way to Dalhousie

Interesting formations

The next day

Khajjiar - Official mini switzerland

Late entry to the spot the X contest

These boys were desperate to have us pose with a rabbit and some flowers -- the touristy thing to do.. But we were not game for it

Thats it!

Total 1280km in 2.5 days.

@Shelton: I wish! didnt click too many. Mainly took out the cam in Khajjiar. Rest of the time it was raining too much
