Mods: you should not approve travelogues of scooter being ridden hard on forbidden land!!! Can you understand how it makes a 220 owner feel???

Jokes apart, man.... how do these guy think of doing these rides on scooter?? (I just mentioned somewhere that every thing on 2 wheels can tour within it's limitation

)

Kindly mention in English as there are many non-hindi brothers waiting for your log.

Delhi-Pathankot 25 Sep

Urge to scale Sach Pass had crept into my mind long time ago.Numerous biking discussions with Vaibhav(Kurtrules) and clearly suggesting that Sach Pass is a different ball game altogether.
Scaling Sach Pass is not a thing you randomly do.
So my preparation for this ride started and initially it was a solo mission but in the course of time my friend Aman Pruthi came into the picture and joined me.
His butt were also itching badly for a long ride.Now we were two.Suddenly my old and trusty Bravo's electricals failed and i had to beg before my brother to lend me his scooter.So instead of a Bajaj,i rode a honda to Sach Pass.
4 am ,I was waiting for Aman at Rohini outer ring road near his house.After sometime he came and and narrated how his bike was parked on side stand and while loading Saddle bags it toppled down and broke RVM and also caused damage to an adjacent parked car.
After discussing the ride plan we started our ride to face the truth.Destination was Pathankot for the first day.We reached Pathankot in 15 hrs due to my slow speed.Amit Dhull,the dear friend had already arranged a resort for our night stay and also sent his friend Depender to host us.We were overwhelemed by Amit and Depender's gesture for making us feel special.Depender spent few hours with us and we discussed many things non stop.It was indeed a good day.After wishing us luck,Depender left for his home and we also hit the bed after a very spicy Kadahi Chicken.

Day 2 Pathankot to Banjharoo 26 Sep

This is our second day and we woke UP quite late due to the cosy room at Walia resorts and tiring 15 hrs long ride previous day.
My scooters's headlight were not working so first thing was to get the light fixed at Pathankot.We found a mechanic shop he somehow managed to fix the light problem of my scooter.
One hours was consumed at mechanic shop.Mechenic was generous enough and offred us tea which we readily accepted.
We resumed our ride to Chamba and at Banikhet junction took left turn for Chamba.We were looking for PWD office to get our stay permits at PWD GH at Bairagarh.
Mr Rajesh Gulati was in charge of GH stays and he offered us to stay at Bajharoo instead of Bairagarh.After our positive response,he issued us permits, we reached Banjharoo near Tissa.It was a very clean,cosy and spacious GH and well maintained.
At Bajharoo,when we were searching for GH,my scooters again threw some tantrums and stopped in the pitch dark road of Banjharoo.I had to roll down it and somehow reached GH and parked our vehicles.GH at Banjharoo did not have food facility so we had to go to Banjharoo town to have dinner.Both of us looking for Non veg food and had a real difficult time finding dhaba owner who prepared a chicken dishes on our demand.
There were few locals boys also having dinner in the dhaba and we struck a conversation.
Day 3 Bajharoo to Killad 27 Sep

This is the real day.The day,we will be scaling Mighty and fearful Sach Pass.But Scooter is still dead and no sign of any mechanic at Banjharoo.A local person helped us and arranged a mechanic to fix the scooter.He arrived around 9 am and we started our ride very late around 10 am.
Reached Bairagarh and found an eatery.There will be no food for next 50 kilometers.Crossed Kalaban,were stopped at Satrundi police check post and also videographed by policmen there.From Satrundi,Sach pass is 11 kilometers,and ascent is very very steep.I had to drive in first gear,full throttle and most of the time half clutch too.Suddenly,fuel ran out and i had to refill from the reserve petrol i was carrying resulting in wastage of 15 minutes.
Meanwhile Aman moved ahead towards SACH PASS.I reached at Pass and was very surprised,no sign of Aman.I walked to Bogotu side of Pass and saw Aman riding down towards Bogotu.I waved my hand but in vain.I was alone at the Pass and took some self shots to document my presence at the mighty SACH PASS.
Very disappointing not to have my riding buddy at my side at the place we had come for.

Do you hate motorcycles, by any chance?

This is really some hardcore travelogue. Fantastic. The true essence of a trip is to take break, enjoy the surroundings, take pictures... awesome man

Absolutely not.On the contrary,I love bikes.
My first vehicle was Kawasaki Bajaj many years ago,I have ridden a ZMA(borrowed) to Binsar.
Currently own a scooter and spending 70000 INR on a bike is hard for me so decided to satisfy my riding thirst by my scooter.
Thanks for the appreciation buddy.

Amazing ! Way to go guys ! Truly admirable that you've taken the scooter on that tough terrain. You've proven that with two wheels, guts, will and determination, you can conquer a lot.

Ride On & Ride Safe
