    Once I got passed out from college in 2014 my dad brought me a laptop and I bought a beetel dongle from my small savings.That's the story behind the 5 year journey of mine..
    Appreciate your enthu bro... [emoji122]
    Hope you do more rides

        Good pictures and narration.

        Just a suggestion (Hope you don't mind) - part of being a rider is also being a safe rider which means wearing protective gear all the time and especially when on longer rides.

        Similar to wearing a helmet to protect our heads, shoes protect our feet and ankles and just in case - something goes wrong, they're safe.

        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.

          Appriciate! Saving money to buy protective gears! till now managed to buy riding gloves only!
          I am a bit confused whether to buy body armour or riding jacket. Suggestion is required.

          There are many places I visited before but not with bike.
          Besides it's my first travelogue in any forum.
          If you guys wish, I can write about those also.

            The place is in the core area of the forest. Have some huts where you can stay ( that are owned by the WBFDC) and can be booked online.The place is really nice.

                Some good nature shots there. Although I would say that you should wear shoes and gloves at minimum as riding gear. They come at minimal expense.

                        F I N A L** DAY** OF** T O U R

                        Next morning we woke up early and got ready for a day long ride.
                        We were in GORUMARA and we decided to visit METELLI & ROCKY ISLAND.
                        METELLI is famous for tea gardens and ROCKY ISLAND for beautiful scenic beauty.
                        ROCKY ISLAND is around 33 KM from GORUMARA NATIONAL PARK.From CHALSHA the HILL ROAD begins.I was very much thrilled about this ride because it would be the 1st ride of mine on any HILL ROAD.
                        So, at 9am sharp we left the resort and started our journey.
                        I bet you guys, if you were here you would fall in love of the place..
                        The long road mesmerised me.
                        Here is the photo!

                          Well done and beautiful pictures. This place as you rightly pointed out is really clean and pristine. India seems to be obsessed about GDP which if one leaves aside probably has much to learn from a small country like Bhutan and it's citizens and put us on a true path to prosperity.
