Yes, Himalayas is a never ending place having so much of beauty throughout the year

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

badrinath and mana is indeed a must visit place.. that too only on bike.. I went solo for the same place 4 months back and yes it was a life time experience for me as well..

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Thanks buddy

In that case, being in Delhi we are definitely lucky to be so near to Himalyas, Leh is in my list too and few more destination for the next year, those mountains are really awesome to be lived, explored and you get lot to learn about your riding

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Beautiful post, buddy. As a person who's been born and brought up in Mumbai, I really long for beautiful weather and breathtaking views like the ones you have posted. Leh has always been on my mind but this I have to say, Mana is equally beautiful. Something different about Temples, garam garam chai, gharelu food on an alien highway and also hot springs!

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

This is just simply awesome brotha..nice clicks.

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Surely roads was really horrible for some 20-30 kms, but for that tarmac only we went their and I think a 150-200cc machine is just perfect for those condition, I didn't feel any problem with my Hunk at all, only at some moment I feel one can have more fun with FI installed bike.

Just a little problem I feel in Delhi is the nearest hill from Delhi is at-least 250 kms away, one has to complete that stretch to reach in heaven and people in south don't face this problem having some awesome hills, Yes snow is a thing which can only be found in north.

Thanks mate...

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

I would also like to give an applause and a bow to all biker Sardar Ji(s) going to SRI HEMKUNT SAHIB
(whom we kept crossing all the way till gobindghat) for their courage and patiencewith their 100cc machines(95% of all the bikes).

The only thing I wish if they could get geared up and then ride for their safety.

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Yes, It does not have a kick start its completed more than three years now I never faced any cold start problem yet (Touch wood), once I faced a problem because battery got drain completely than I started bike through push start in 2nd gear, Even when we started the bike in Mana next morning temperature was around 0 in the night and wonder bike started without choke after two-three self, due to less Oxygen there, we already made it to rich through AF screw, after crossing the Joshimath...

Not at the Mana because according to the Army person we spoken it never rains there because of the height, only snow falls happens there, just when we reached to Karanprag day-1, we faced a little storm with rain....

Thanks buddy, really it was a life time experience for me the tarmac after the Josimath was real tuff task to complete when you ride on 3-4 inches big rocky extreme uphill with twists and bike is giving you hard feeling sound sometime even in 1st gear...I think we constantly did almost 20-25 kms uphill in first gear only, we was really missing more toque in our machines...

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Great, the tarmac isn't there in many places but I presume that's what made it an unforgettable experience for you guys - I dig that stuff; 'wish we had better tourer bikes.
Wonderfully narrated - short & crisp, complimented by beautiful pictures, mate!

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Bornnn to be wildddd

Did it rain there?

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

I think this Hunk has got only electric start..Is it correct? Did it give any issues during cold start and hill riding?

Re: Mana, one lifetime experience...

Man !

That road
That ride
The destination we pride,
With you my friend
and the machines we grind
we surely lived one hell of a life.


Thanks itsmevini123 for the awesome travelogue. We had a superb great time and you explained it equally well.

Just waiting for our next ride
