  • [Photo Feature]: Chanshal Pass Expedition ! [April 2017]

    April starts and thus the thawing of snow and opening of roads to high passes and the riding season too. With handfull of passes around Uttarakhand Chanshal has been my favorite thus planning a trip to it was inevitable. With a couple of fellow bikers and a plan laid to the others few more chipped in too. Thus making a mere road trip into a mega riding extravaganza to the high Himalayas.

    From well laid tarmac to hard grueling torn off roads, from bright hot sweaty sunny days to cold freezing nights, from clear skies to snowstorms and from zero to 600+kms on the ODO we went through all what the venture had to offer. Riders from Dehradun of every sort of machines went on to embark on this adventure.

                  And RX100 too (sigh). Miss mine.
                  Once I have donned my black helmet, I become anonymous. My face ceases to identify me. My black visor shields others from the rigours of my passing glance while shielding me from their attempts to peer into my soul. I am an anonymous rider shrouded in black. I am no longer a specific self. I am a passing Traveller.

                        Yes I'd a Black RX100 way back. LOVED it dearly and have many many memories attached to it.

                        Once I have donned my black helmet, I become anonymous. My face ceases to identify me. My black visor shields others from the rigours of my passing glance while shielding me from their attempts to peer into my soul. I am an anonymous rider shrouded in black. I am no longer a specific self. I am a passing Traveller.

                          So the season opening had to be greeted with a ride to the Himalayas thus a plan to ride to Chanshal as everytime. So the plan all set for Chanshal with three guys we were ready since a week when few other joined in too. Total of eight riders then on the riding day emerged at the gathering point all set to scale Chanshal. With 8 bikes as four Hero Impulse, one Yamaha R15, a Duke 200 and a Duke390 and a Yamaha Rx135 4speed all tanked up to the brim were all set to leave.









                          Day I

                          230kms

                          Route : Dehradun -- Vikasnagar -- Chakrata -- Deoban -- Kanasar -- Tuini -- Rohru

                          Day 1 was the longest stretch with Rohru for the night stay. From few 20 odd kms long straights to winding roads of 200+kms of the sheer riding took as through all sorts of terrains to Rohru. Dehradun To Vikasnagar is a straight stretch and after that we enter into the hills and till Chakrata we encounter some rough patches thanks to the landslides and a dusty ride beyond Chakrata ends entering into Chir and Deodar forests approaching Deoban thereafter. Chakrata to Deoban was a smooth well laid metalled road for riders with skills enough to scrape their footpegs. Deoban is at a greater height than Chakrata thus receives a lot of snowfall every year. Then descends the road to Kanasar and rough patches start all the way upto 15-20kms shattering the bike and rider loosening up bolts and plastic parts. Boon for an offroader though.












                          Kanasar then we reach which is a place with conserved Deodars and lots of greenery. Local kids play cricket at the ground and we move along towards Tuini. Roads are good past Kanasar till Tuini. Beautiful tarmac all the way through but single laned enough to stay always on the toes. A tiny blink of an eye and suddenly you are stunned by a goddamn Roadways bus or a pick up truck. We reach Tuini then and its hot. Quickly exiting now into Himachal Pradesh we leave Uttarakhand behind and with few hours riding more we check into a hotel for the night.

                            A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
