    Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    Finally how did you recover your flat tyred Bike that you left back at the Hydro Power station that had no power?

    Edit; The Unicorn is one of the best performers and one of the most underrated bikes that is out there! Though I do not know how well or poorly it plays at 3000 metres altitude, coz Badrinath is just about 3000 metres if I am not mistaken.
    yes Ken da, some parts were really scary... and of course the protection at the cliff edges adds extra confidence... and in uttranchal i felt scary for another reason, u could see clearly some 10-12 kms of roads ahead of you looking like threads on the hills..
    and there were really some wide patches of road with very good tarmac (BRO effect) where u can get very decent speedo, but there were no protection on cliff edge...

    and about the flat tyre, fixed it myself on next day... and i was very successful in my first attempt...

    and yes, Unicorn is the best performer in it's segments.... it performed very well again like the Himachal ride... i faced absolutely no problem with pillion on board... tough some stretches were 2nd/1st gear material...

    @inder:- That stream is actually river ganga and so strong at this point that if one mistakingly slips into the water he/she dies not of drowning but because of severe injuries due to large rocks and because of hypothermia in snow melted water.
    thanx setu...
    but the water was crystal clear...
