  • [Photo Feature]: Magnificent Uttarakhand_2016 [Solo]

    Throughout 2015, I was focusing on JK and Himachal.
    Now, it's time for magnificent Uttarakhand. Going solo again.

    For this ride, I am carrying a message for all Indians...
    "Let's make India safe, for women"

    I don't know what's waiting for me, but I am thrilled...

              Magnificent Uttarakhand_2016 [Solo]

              Trip is done.
              Time for Travel-Log...


              ~ : Message for the people of India : ~

              Although, India is not known for liberal-minded society. But, times are changing.
              Gender discrimination makes no sense, never did.

              My way of life is traveling. I carried a message for my trip...
              "Let's make India safe, for women."



              ~ : Motivation : ~


              I heard about Uttarakhand from my friends. It seemed, I had to visit this state some day.
              Some day is now, let's go...


              ~ : Why Riding Solo? : ~

              No strings attached. Complete freedom.
              Ride solo once; you will know why


              ~ : Let's Ride! : ~


              ~ Day #1 [ March 2, 2016] ~
              Destination: Rishikesh, Uttarakhand
              Route: NH-58
              Distance: 231 km



              My journey started from Delhi.

              There is absolutely no excitement riding in city.
              I was happy to leave Delhi behind, kept cruising to Rishikesh.

              Professional rafters do the rafting. You enjoy the roller coaster of fierce river waves. Inflated life-jackets are there to keep you safe.
              Rafters were friendly and kind to click few of my photos. Thanks to them!

                        Magnificent Uttarakhand_2016 [Solo] - Chapter#2

                        ~ Day #3 [ March 4, 2016] ~
                        Destination: Kedarnath, Gwaldam, Kasol, Almora, Nainital
                        Route: NH-87
                        Distance: 268 km


                        On day#3, I moved on towards Nainital from Narayankoti.

                        Narayankoti is a small settlement on way to Kedarnath.
                        I came to know, a permission is required to go to Kedarnath at this time of the year;
                        therefore I went as far as I could unitil Army guys stopped me.

                        After that, I decided to go to Nainital via Gwaldam, Kasol, Almora.
                        My final trip stay will be at Nainital.

                        After a while, Army turned me back as Kedarnath not accessible at this time of the year without permission.
                        I moved on towards Nainital.

                        Stayed at Nainital for the day; decended down to New Delhi the next day.


                        This was in fact a brief trip of small duration; although I have seen plenty of wonderful places.
                        I have completed my trip with a desire to come back again to explore higher altitudes of Uttarakhand, the far north places.



                        Happy Riding guys!
