Sikkim road trip
This 23 days road trip to Sikkim along with six friends, starting from Bangalore as we pass several states of India and all this during the hot summer months of April & May 2017.
The onward journey upto Siliguri was the three of us schoolmates/buddies in my friend's Xylo while four other friends join us at Siliguri to continue the trip from then on.
Four two-wheelers - Triumph Tiger XRX, KTM Duke 390, Yamaha FZ and an Aprilia SR150 (scooter), were shipped more than a week before we commenced from Bangalore on 21-04-2017.
There is just too much to write about and much beauty in Sikkim that it's difficult to put it in words, so let me allow the pictures that I took during this trip to do all the talking here.
Luggage packed into my friend's Xylo
(2-wheeler spares, tools & riding gear, clothes, water can, gas stove, cooker, bucket, petrol cans, triumph tiger hard panniers)
Konark Sun Temple, Konark, Odisha
Cooking up some food on route
(We left no trace after we were done, i.e., made sure no plastic/paper or garbage were left behind)
On the road on route from Suri to Siliguri
Possibly the only and best clean tarred straight road in Siliguri
Our bikes picked up from GATI KWE & VRL shipping office, Siliguri
Scenic view on route near Darjeeling

On route to Gangtok
Evening tea break halt on route to Gangtok
