Bunny,

I had good time indeed. In january, I went to Auli on my bike.So, if you want to only ride, Think about going there also, else for 3 days, I suggest you go to Nainital-almorah-kausani- karna pryag- rishikesh-delhi.

I understand that after rishikesh road are not very good, but after rampur(UP), u'll enjoy the roads of Corbett national park region. Don't take muradabad-kashipur-ramnagar road that's very bad. After that, roads to almora are very good and drive also. After kausani, on the state highway, it is a pleasure to ride bike on good speed on narrow roads. So you can reach kausani in 1day, stay there overnight, next day come to rishikesh and go for rafting, then come back.

If you have already gone to these places, then the circuits you have suggested seem to be very good. But ponta sahib road is not very enjoyable. The road from rishikesh to Lachchhi-wala is good but after that , lot of potholes.

Anyways , plan as per you taste. and most importantly, enjoy every moment of being on your bike.

Guys, in January , I saw 6 lane road being constructed (on hills), from Joshimath towards China. Locals told me that this road is connected to China and being widened.
