Well nice to hear that you have a company, enjoy your ride, post in logs.

Some free tips
1. Drink mineral/packaged water on the route (check for packing and timestamp)
2. Always move in group of vehicles.
3. Dont follow luxury or local bus at any cost, be it daytime or eve. Better follow a truck or other group of vehicles or tug back the police patrol vehicles.
4. News from eastern part of bihar and jarkhand and western bengal dont come in media, that doesnt mean its safe. Locals know it very well that there are daily bus hijacks done in that region. So be very cautious about any suspicious movements or groups that tag behind.
5. Dont take food at any lonely dabhas, select some place where you see good gathering.
6. Carry self defence mechanisms.
7. And let your common sense and logic work all the time

Tomorrow at the strike of 4.30am..the longest ride of my life beckons me..The things that stands between me and Druk Yul (BHutan) are the immolating Telengana activists, the Maoist shooters, Bodo Militants, Pot holed roads and the dangerous ghats!!

So where's the outcome of this ride? No trip logs, pictures?

Any Progress ?? Did you Go for the Ride or Plan Cancelled ??? Please post the pics if you have completed it..
