  • 30 kph max....spiti on Pulsar 200NS June 2015

    I did solo ride bike to Ladakh for couple of weeks in 2011... was mesmerized by the beauty.... vowed to do the ride every year.... and then work consumed me for next 3 years. I guess this happens with many of us. I was doing roadtrips around the world (work assignments) but in the month of july... i used to get emotional for yet another lost ladakh opportunity.

    So in 2015, i left my gypsy job profile and took the one which makes me to sit in one chair from 8-5... and then battle with Gurgaon road and traffic to reach a place called home. Belive me, after staying in hotels for straight 7 year's make you want these things.

    Though I traveled a lot, I never written a blog etc. I was searching for the spiti trip on 200NS (or anything other than bullet) and then it stuck me that there is very little information. So following is my attempt to write about my experience during 10 day (pseudo) solo trip on Pulsar 200NS from delhi --> shimla to manali. Atleast thats what I told my parents and wify to get permission. I did not include kalpa, nako, tabo, kaza, kunzum pass and chandra taal.

    This will be mainly photoblog with some information about doing it solo, and my experiences with Pulsar 200NS on mountain terrain.

      Awesome bro ! I have an NS too and am planning to take it to experience the high mountains next year... Glued to this blog for more. I am hoping that there were no challenges too big for the NS to conquer however would appreciate it to highlight any IF faced.

      I pray for traction I can keep
      But if I spin and begin to slide
      I pray, dear God please protect my ride
      And if I lay down my bike today
      I pray to God I walk away...
      I walk away to ride another day

        Dont get me wrong, Pulsar 200NS is a great asset to have in mountains. But dont let bike to be the deciding factor to enjoy the mountains. I did ladakh solo on a 150 cc and I know people who did it on Bajaj Chetak. All had great time.

        I will definitely discuss about 200NS in following posts.

          That's what travelling is all about and I have gone through similar instances when riding, especially solo bike rides
          'Photos are awesome ' - it is an understatement. That rainbow shot is epic :thumbup:

                      Thank you everyone. Currently I am little caught up with work but will soon upload rest of the image. Can anyone please tell be how to insert text in between the photos. I would like to add little bit of description with these photos to make them interesting than just to dump them here.

                      Meanwhile, below is the image taken from Dhankar Monestary of spiti river. Small line on left bottom corner is the road that travels parallel to the river.
