How does It all started?

I was very much frustrated these days because of long and busy schedule and no leave or no exictment, LOL, i get just 2 leaves in last 60 days-Dushara and one Sunday. The work is going to make me Mad. I was planning to go out. Than I received call from my Collage, My Degree is ready. Hurray- At least one thing to celebrate. I have to visit to collect it. my collage is at Loharu-Govt Engg. Collage, Loharu. It is on Haryana-Rajasthan Border. I decided to ride Aravali Hills. Got 4 days leave from office and contacted some old (Gold) friends. Lol, everyone is busy!!! No matter, I am to ride, just ride.
I final the route and plan on 19 Oct, 2011 and collected all the stuff that I may need during the ride. Packed the bags and search my riding gears, which were unused for long time. The plan is to ride collage and than visiting Sriska Tiger Reserve and India's most haunted palace BHANGARH. the journey will be through Arivali Hills. All set for next Day. I am not getting Sleep, just waiting for the morning.

Have you started the ride or yet to start it?

I have completed the ride.

Day 2

I got up at 5 in morning, have some tea and leave for Sriska. The scenery was great and the morning was beautiful

Hit Sriska at 7.

Sriska Tiger reserve Opens at 8.00am and the best thing is you can explorer on Bikes. Bikes are allowed inside the premiss but you can't go off-road. If you want to go off-road, you can book jeep which will cost 1200 for six people. Sriska is a must visit palace and in October, it becomes more beautiful. Total silence and nature. I just loved the ride. Bike entry fee is just Rs. 30.

Though You can't go off road inside the park, but I really want to. Sorry for not following the rules. I got some very good sights.

One thing that may be important for you all. There are total 5 tigers in Sriska and all of them are located by transmitter. If you want to see a tiger, you should hire a jeep and consult the security and jeep driver or guide. he will get you to the point and 100% chances to see the wild beast. You can see other animals along with Tigers, like leoprad, wild cat etc.

the last point of Sriska is Pandav Paul- Hanuman temple in National Park. 21 kms away from entry gate. Be careful of the monkeys here. Some monster monkeys cutted my pillion seat very badly. I just hate Monkeys.
No phones working inside the park.
I completed Sriska Tiger reserve at 1.00pm. Now its turn to Bhangarh-India's most haunted palace.
Bhangarh is about 35kms from sriska and the road is not very good. It takers about one hour to complete 35kms. You will find a few humans during the ride. Empty roads and complete silence.
Road from sriska to bhangarh.

Hit Bhangarh at 2.30 pm. in middle I stopped for lunch. You will not find good hotels or dhaba in this area, so be prepared. Bhangarh is said o be most haunted palace in India, but I find nothing like that. Local folks told that there is nothing like Ghosts and these are only rumors. Well, the palace was good. Here are some pics.

It is said that Bhangarh was totally crushed in one night after some incident. It is interesting that all the building are without roofs there, but the temples are as it is. There are some very beautiful temples inside the premiss.

I leave back at 6.00pm and reached Alwar at 8.30pm. The empty road was scaring. Decide to stay one more night as the next day is Sunday.
Next day I wake up at 6 and headed towards home. Sonipat is about 350 kms from Alwar and The P-180 completed the journey in 5 hours.
