24th May 2017):it all started on a Sunday evening adda session with my buddy Amit. He had heard a lot about my bike tours and he wanted to join me on a short tour to the mountains. I told him its my last week in Calcutta so lets make it count. So we sat and booked a volvo to NJP for Thursday (24th May). I called up Santanu Da( Kmph, NJP) and told him that i would require a RE Himalayan. He told me its peak season and nearly all his fleet of bikes were out on rent. I requested him and thus with the help of Roger i was able to book the MAHINDRA MOJO. Me and my himalayan partner (Atish Khettry) had done the NJP-ZULUK-GANGTOK-NJP circuit on the same bike last year. Atish was riding the mojo and i was on a Apache 200.
to begin with the bus left at 2100 and to be honest an overnight volvo journey is not comfortable at all and we reached Xkmph at around 1100.
We had a small pep talk with Santanu da regarding the weather up in the hills and we began our onward journey. The plan was to ride a the circuit of NJP-LAVA-RISHOP-GANGTOK-NJP.
