    Soon we were back on the road and just after few kilometers some hills come into sight. Motul is definitely a wonder oil for Pulsars because at the speed of 70-80kmph and that too in hills, the bike feels so smooth and responsive

    The flora was exact same as of Uttarakhand. But the thing which excites me was the sights of railway track in the lap of mountains which can never be seen in Uttarakhand. Second thing which makes me happy was the condition of road, it was a smooth 2-lane road up to Shimla. In Uttarakhand most of the times overtaking a bus/truck in hilly regions becomes a heavy task as road is narrow but here I just have to twist the throttle to overtake any kind of vehicle

    After this point kept the camera in bag so that we can reach Shimla on time. After reaching Shimla we didn't step down from the bike and roam around the place and also didn't stop anywhere. Maybe within 1 hour we left the place and headed back towards Solan to recharge our tummies and continue the journey.

    Few kilometers before Solan my friend told me that a huge temple is under-construction in this area with very beautiful statues of many Indian God and Goddesses but we have to go off the highway for 7-8kms (this is the info which also makes this travelogue a infologue).

    Time was already 4:30pm so I was in bit of a dilemma whether to see that temple or continue riding (the main reason behind this dilemma was that I was new to the route and also I have to reach home in the given time). At last decided to see the temple asap and after reaching there I was happy that I made that decision. All the xBhpians living nearby Solan must visit this place once. Left the temple at 5:30pm and without recharging our tummies ride continuously up to Pinjore. Leave my friend there to catch a bus to Chandigarh.

    Now let pictures do the talking
    BTW I reached home safely at 8:00 pm

      Nothing like an impromptu ride, can't remember last when I pulled a ride at the spur of the moment, good for you and beautiful pictures by the way.
